I would say start one album prior: the amazing "The Indescribable Wow." And even the one before it ("The Turning"), originally released when she was still Leslie Phillips, is pretty great. I think that was her first album with T-Bone Burnett. I have a couple of her earlier, contemporary Christian albums, and those are…

C+ is a tough rating for this. I got it from her website a few weeks ago, and even though it doesn't compare to her best work from the late-80s & early-90s (both "The Indescribable Wow" and "Cruel Inventions" are A+ albums, in my opinion) she still has an amazingly strong voice and her songwriting remains consistently…

That's true, but it's not the same as fast-forwarding or rewinding a VHS tape, or waiting for boob scenes to show up during a cable broadcast. Kids today have it (nudity, that is) way too easy.

I considered that, but this is Sam Elliot we're talking about. Nothing that guy does can be lame. Then again, Ed Grimley played triangle, so that alone makes the triangle pretty un-lame.

What a terrible movie…that I watched way too many times in college (and shortly thereafter). Not sure if it was the boobs that kept bringing me back…they were certainly a nice pair…or that I was mesmerized by its awfulness. I'm in the back half of my 40s now, so I'd be curious to see what I think of it now. Not sure I…

Will Sam's character also have a sax-playing alter-ego? Something like Baron Gold?

Anything that keeps Armisen behind the camera is okay by me.

I saw the original E/R right after Seinfeld began, and was already a huge fan of Jerry Seinfeld's standup throughout the '80s (so I immediately latched on to the show when The Seinfeld Chronicles first aired). I thought it was cool that Jason Alexander worked with Seinfeld and "Dr. Sheinfeld." I seem to remember him…

Forget the movie roles. How about an encore appearance on How I Met Your Mother as "hops-meister" Randy Wharmpess?

Great point. I will be giddy with excitement anytime that happens.

Sadly, there can be no What Up With That without Sudeikis in the wig & tracksuit (or Bill Hader as Lindsey Buckingham). I still like Kenan but probably take him for granted.

My excitement about the departure of Fred Armisen (I'm one of the seemingly rare people who disliked nearly everything he ever did on the show, with only a handful of exceptions) has been severely tempered by the loss of Hader & Sudeikis. The show will carry on like it always does, but those two guys will leave a big…

With Creed Bratton as his trainer.

My nieces, who weren't yet "double digit midgets" when this series was on, already knew the song so I wonder if it's a generational thing. Then again, this cheer must have existed back in the '80s because Feig & Apatow wouldn't have used it otherwise.

I was in high school at the same time as these fictional characters (graduated in '84) but never heard it. Then again, I don't think I attended many (or any?) HS sporting events, so that could explain it. I was into music, girls & drinking instead

I didn't know the "How funky is your chicken, how loose is your goose?" tune before this episode, but it's become a frequent quote whenever I attempt to dance. And any time I think about that creepy mascot head I lose a lot of sleep that night.

The first time I saw After Hours, around '87 or '88, it made me really uncomfortable and I wasn't sure whether or not I liked it. Then I started working & "socializing" in NYC (I was in my early 20s), spending many late nights and early mornings in various parts of the city. The second time I watched it, its manic…

Just that song? The whole album ("I'm The Man") and his debut ("Look Sharp") are among the best of that era. And as Nick said, their bass player (Graham Maby) is amazing.

Very true. Can't remember which episode it was, but the freaks are in the car when a Joe Jackson song comes on. Ken's initial reaction was something like, "what is this new wave crap?" but Nick says, "no, this is a great song. The bass player is amazing." Being a fellow drummer who was hugely into Joe Jackson and his…

Nick cemented his greatness when he complimented Mr. Rosso by acknowledging how difficult a song "I'm Eighteen" is to play on guitar
