I'm not a Libertarian by any stretch, but limited government doesn't mean no government.

Ha, Red Hill Mining Town is my favorite song on the album, but it was definitely when people went to take a leak. It's a song that calls for more bombast (can't believe I'm encouraging such a thing from U2) than the relatively understated way they performed it and the video accompaniment wasn't as interesting as some…

Meredith Brooks' lyric "I'm a goddess on my knees" was about the sexiest thing I'd heard at the time.

Remember what it was like to have opposite-party President and Congress work together? Good times…

Y'ALL READY FOR THIS?!!

"Pick a Number between One and Ten"

Cowboy Tom Arnold busting through the bathroom door with that huge shit-eating grin on his face, crushing the blind attendant in the process, never fails to completely crack me up.

I just remember his Gilligan hat.

I like to think Hawke went straight from Dead Poets' to Training Day.

LA Confidential, Boogie Nights and Jackie Brown, the best films of 1997, to me have no connection whatsoever to the year. They could be released today and just as well received. My Best Friend's Wedding was actually a great call - Julia Roberts at peak popularity, plus early Diaz, and Rupert Everett and Dermott…

I mentioned this yesterday talking about 1997 movies, but I finally read the Quartet straight through a few years ago and just felt bad about humanity for quite a while after. Then I got a copy of Perfidia just in time to bring back the queasies.

I was born a lot earlier than that, and as a Hawks fan can confirm that it feels the same way to me. Getting knocked out of the playoffs by the Bulls was as sure as the summer solstice.

Eric Gregg's dead, you know. It's possible Fred McGriff killed him. I think Livan's career tanked soon after.

Braves pitcher RA Dickey fell down in the batters box last night trying NOT to swing. I think the rebuilding is a couple of years from fruition.

I saw them a month or so ago, doing Joshua Tree in its entirety. I recommend it strongly - that album is all killer, no filler (especially live).

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on which is better. I think LAC is possibly the best movie of the decade.

Nah, she was bisexual and was mostly hanging out with women when she met him. Her friends were pissed and bummed, but it wasn't like a dude turning a lesbian straight.

Well his wife DID have an ass in her dick in the driveway. You'd have been bummed as well, what with embarrassing her like that and all.

It implies it, just doesn't confirm it. But in this case I think it's a safe bet.

I haven't seen Romper Stomper, but apparently it's what Bud White would be like if he wasn't a cop.
