Sam, you have a beautiful body.

High School was '88-'92 for me. There were showers in the locker room, but taking one was optional. Once in a while the more athletic guys who were actually on teams would take a quick shower because they actually worked up a sweat during Gym Class. But for dudes like me who looked like Bill standing out in the…

I agree. They had a run from about '93-'95 where they had a number of singles and videos that were in constant rotation.

Another one in agreement here. I was 6 in 1980, but I have it on authority from friends, coworkers and bandmates that are 5-10 years older than me, that EVERYBODY was into Journey during the Steve Perry years.

Yep. My "upwardly-mobile" aunt and uncle had one in 1983, but my family didn't get one until 1986.

Respectfully disagreeing with your Matt Cameron assessment.

So this article has nothing to do with the Isley Brothers?

I'd watch it for the scene where Harrelson frisking Shue to see if she's wearing a wire turns out to be some pretty hot foreplay. Otherwise…

Probably been mentioned, but the three of them were there to SELL fake coke to Molina.

Yep. Mtv did a surprisingly cool thing once where they ran a clip of some girl at a New Kids concert in 1990, screaming about how she would take a bullet for Jordan or Joey or whoever. Then they cut to her in 1993 when the report aired. She was now in college and they brought the New Kid out to surprise her. She kind…

Hader told Bill Simmons that Armison would walk around doing the "What arrr you  duuuinggg!?!?!?" thing over and over so they decided to make a skit around it.

Agreed. I figured he was trying to show the world that he could be a "serious artist" by stripping away the full band production and dancing. But he just isn't a strong enough singer to pull off ballads with minimal acoustic backing.

Is AIDS still a thing?

Any word on Tinker or Possibly Gay Basketball Guy?

The monologues are painful as are the interviews. I'm not a fan of how he has these Disney Channel kids or tween pop stars on and is all like "Hey Buddy! I'm a huge fan!" Man, you're almost 40, you don't listen to Justin Bieber.

At the end of the day, the documentary was made for the average Joe, rather than the musician/enthusiast. I get that. You make some good points. I just wish there was some sort of way of saying, "if you like that, some other interesting things have happened in jazz from 1970 to the present you might also like."

While Ken Burns Jazz paints SOME of the picture, he completely overlooks certain areas. Like the complete lack of Latin Jazz.

"Giant Businessman" from around '88 with Tom Hanks hosting and Phil Hartman as The Giant Businessman. Truly out there and did not make it to the syndicated/Hulu Plus versions.

Yep. Somewhere in a guitar magazine (guilty as charged Mr. Falkous!) or some music site, someone once summed up the bulk of Malmsteen's catalog as "sub-par Journey knock-offs." This is very accurate. The "songs" were always thin collections of hard rock cliches that kind of just sat there until the guitar solo, which…
