Great show. I knew Leonard Nimoy from "In Search Of…" before I had even heard of "Star Trek".

Right, all "religions" are the same, got it.

Switching Faiths
Someone should tell Travolta about the Church of the Subgenius.

Honestly, there could be a lot more. People feel immense relief confessing their darkest secrets; Scientology not only hooks people by claiming the 'relief' comes from their specific religion, but also keeps all the info while convincing the person it will, of course, never ever ever ever be revealed or used against…

Ah, so unregistered trolls don't understand it's not one religion.

Sorry, I thought we had some occupation called "historian" that might shed light on the foundation of religion. My mistake.
When the 'founder' of a religion doesn't even share the tenets and beliefs that he created… well, that's a little different. But if you want to treat all religions as equally bad, feel free.

You all do realize that "Christianity" isn't a single religion, right?

No, there is a difference - most major world religions evolved over time, and their founder - or founders - are generally thought to have been sincere in their pursuit of belief, regardless of whether one thinks it's "true" or not.
Do you really think Hubbard once believed in Xenu? (Or "Xemu" as there's some doubt…

I'm shocked
Probably the most well-known case is the strangely unmentioned song "Pig Licker" - or maybe it's "Pig Liquor" - that suddenly flew back up the charts after the release of the movie "Hobgoblins".

*sigh*. Rickrolling is another stupid Internet 'meme' where someone sends you a link to something you'd be interested in that turns out to actually be the Rick Astley video.
Then again, Rifftax showed that you could take two very stupid Internet things and combine to actually make funny…

Don't forget about the Fat Boys' cover of "The Twist"…

I went to high school in the late 80s and all my classmates listened to were bands from the late 60s/early 70s. They were all excited to see the Rolling Stones come around (Steel Wheels tour, I think), and when I mentioned I didn't know who the Doors were they almost passed out in shock.

Had a family friend living up in Athens in the 80s, so of course I didn't know about R.E.M. until after the family moved.
R.E.M. was my first concert experience, way back on the Green Tour… twenty years ago?!? Damnit, I'm old…

Monster is indeed underrated; for one thing, it helped me get back to Automatic for the People, which I only listened to once through prior. After Monster came out, I gained a new appreciation for the previous album as a sort of "two-parter".
Yeah, I stopped with R.E.M. after New Adventures. Good album, especially…

There easily could be more to the story, though.

Loeb and Bendis actually did some good work, though. Even though I dislike Miller, he still has some notable work. Quesada just destroys everything he touches… and he's also in charge of one of the largest comic book companies in the world.
Oh, and Rob Liefield. Definitely should be his femur bone.

If anything, Morrison's run on X-Men did leave a major impression on Marvel… in the strong reactionary response to his work.
Morrison got me back on board for a brief time on the X-comics, and Marvel got me back out again.

There already was an Ayn Rand movie - "The Fountainhead", back in the 50s. Pretty terrible movie. Oh, and also a great adaptation of the book.

Nice to see your sense of irony was surgically removed, Slugworth.
