Um, "Stewart." Rod Steward was the guy in charge of the fishing gear.

Have any other bands
sunk as low, quality-wise, as these guys have in as little time? I liked Youth and Young Manhood a whole bunch when it came out. "Joe's Head," "Trani," "Holy Roller Novacaine" and some of the other songs had a really appealing, demented quality to them, especially the vocals. I bought "Aha…

Remember that time when it looked like the Tuskeegee Airmen were going to trip and spill a bucket of water all over the Luftwaffe but it turned out to be confetti? That was my favorite part of the whole war.

I've Met These Guys a Couple of Times
The surving Airmen are in their 80's now but they stand ramrod straight and possess that kind of quiet self-confidence that comes from being genuine badasses. Many of them serve as mentors at Compton Airport to young city kids who aspire to be pilots. I hope this movie does them…

"… no thanks man, I'm high on life …" "…Friends! violence isn't the answer - we have to change the system from within!"

Isn't extreme cornhole the game the cops in NY played with that one guy?

@ack ack (and D-Nice, below) - Have to admit to not being a Def Leppard fan. They, Girl School and the other New Wave of Heavy Metal bands came out and were portrayed in some magazine articles as constituting the Resistance to punk rock. I don't know if that was the bands' take on it or media hype, but I got my…

I think I might have been in a different '80s than Steven.
I don't remember the part about Joe Elliot's ripped pants being iconic. Michael Jackson's glove I remember and that red jacket too. I also don't remember Elliot being one of the biggest rock stars of the 80s. Billy Idol was, and that guy from Motley Crue…

Shouldn't "doofusery" have another "s" in it? Otherwise it seems like you'd have to pronounce it "doo fuze ery." Anyway, great word.

Coltrane's Dix Hills House?
I grew up in the next town over from Dix Hills (and was young, but there, at the time) and until right now had no idea Coltrane ever lived there. I don't even recall it being something we heard about when he died. Walt Whitman was big (got his own mall) and we knew Rodney Dangerfield was…

Even if it's not Neko Case
covering Gershwin, I'm going to imagine it is.

Sweet Jane
From Rock 'N' Roll Animal deserves its own comment. That extended intro keeps building the anticipation for the main riff to the point that when it finally arrives there's a release of tension that happens at the same time as the riff gets you going all over again. When I was in college we used to play…

"It's electric fire, you plug it in. Ooh Mama."

I wonder if he'll get any points from his wife for cheating with someone who looks exactly like she did 20 years ago? They look remarkably alike in that Daily Mail link.

"This Town." I love the contrast between the sound and feel of the chorus and the verses.
