"You Still Believe In Me", Beach Boys. Has anyone ever written a more perfect melody? It's so simple, but so affecting.

Pearly Gates by Blind Willie McTell. "This short life will soon be over…"

Well, if sherif don't like it…

Major Healy was played by Bill Daily on I Dream of Jeannie, who is still alive. Bill Daily played Howard Borden (the airline navigator-neighbor) on the Bob Newhart Show.

Why would you characterize Bowie's "underrated gems" on Lodger as a "steaming pile"?

Thanks for adding fuel to the "War on Christmas" fire, AV Club. No doubt some mouth-breathing Fox News fan is reporting this to Bill O'Reilly as we speak. A little better editorial discretion next time, eh guys?

Super Schneider!

Pan…kora?

Aww, no White Rapper Show? I always wondered whatever happened to Persia. She was clearly the most talented, even though she lost the competition.

I think it would be cool to be closely associated with the Beatles without actually being one of them. I'd pick Klaus Voormann. Knew them in Hamburg, designed the Revolver album cover, and played bass on several of their solo albums. Was in the German avant garde world with Astrid Kirchherr. What an amazing position…

I remember briefly believing that the sensei of the Cobra Kai in the Karate Kid was Harrison Ford. Sorry, Martin Kove.

Clown College? You can't eat that.

The moment in "King Size Homer" when Homer wakes up and springs out of bed on his first day of working from home. Kills me every time.

While there's not a whole lot of critical love for post-Gabriel Genesis, there's a lot I like from their whole career. I have a particular affection for the mostly forgotten ..And Then There Were Three, their first album after Steve Hackett's departure.

So this came out the next day after Wilco's surprise album with a name cribbed from the Poppiest Thing of all of Pop Culture? How conveeeeeenient.

Roger Clemens was pretty funny in Kingpin. Skidmark!

Cleghorne? Really? The show may have been a failure, but why kick Queen Shenequa when she's down? Why make a point to choose to eliminate something that's largely been forgotten anyway? That's just plain fucking mean.

It's funny, I had just the opposite intent as William Hughes when I went to see that Comedy Central tour. I was (and still am) a huge Lewis Black fan, was only minimally familiar with Dave Attell, but had not heard of Mitch Hedberg at all. I remember not really getting it at the time - aren't most of these jokes just…

How'd they get James Iha circa 1996 to star in this?

Hating "Shiny Happy People" is the music critic's equivalent of a comedian riffing on airplane food.
