First of all, great name and profile pic. Second, agree 100% on the band. Armisen is pretty damn funny, but the abilities of those players is pretty suspect. At some point, some guest is going to spontaneously break out into song, and look over at the band, wondering why they aren't jumping in underneath. They strike…

OK. I have a story connected to this episode, but its not a breakup story. What happened to Lindsay happened at my school.

Wow. I've always grouped those 3 movies together too, but mainly as a source of my "relaxed attitude towards work" that I experienced in my mid-20s.

No, but Jon Bon Jovi's "Blaze of Glory" was in Young Guns 2 (with Jeff Beck on guitar!).

Interesting take (by which I mean, you are wrong). Of course, you do know that Doug Pinnick filled in for Corey Glover on a number of dates in 2006?

We (my roommates and I) would load each solo into a channel on Pro Tools, pan them left and right, and listen to Vernon play crazy duets with himself.

I'm a hardcore fan, and I always tell people "This Is The Life" is my favorite out of everything they've done.

"Cult of Personality" - Vernon Reid
"Machine Gun" - Hendrix
"Three of a Perfect Pair" - Adrian Belew
"What Means Solid, Traveller?" - David Torn
"Promises Kept" - Sonny Sharrock
"King Queen" - Nels Cline
"Devil Take the Hindmost" - Allan Holdsworth

Spinal Tap is what made me want to play jazz-fusion. "On the bass, Derek Smalls, he wrote this…"

In fairness, punk rock was (is) pretty arrogant towards "real" musicianship.

I think the average person (not everybody, but the average person) could give a rat's ass about fashion and designing clothes. All of the names and fashion industry references he spit out in that interview sounded like gibberish to me. Follow that up with something about leather jogging pants and it sounded like…

Yeah, great but he threw away my pedalboard and a power strip in 2002.

I was more of a fan when he was Vonni Ribisi.

Mother's Milk and Blood Sugar were two of my favorites growing up, but I don't think I've listened to them since Bill Clinton was president. Now when their songs show up on satellite radio (which is a LOT!) I turn the channel.

I was a fan back in the day, but I have to say, this first week was a little rough. He seemed to be leaning on old friends of his to drop by as kind of a "Welcome Back Week." Will they start having more relevant guests, or is he going to have Johnny Gill and Charles S. Dutton on next week?

Hmmm, I was a little kid in the 70s, but I think you are wrong. There was a period there - especially after Deep Throat where everybody was going to porno theaters to see what all the hype was about. We may be talking a span of a year or two here, but it was a pretty big deal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

You beat me to it. They were the first band I thought of.

I liked the piece, but come on people! That's Michael Medved's brother! I have to say Harry seemed a lot less douche-y than Michael.

If I may be a nitpicking nerd for a second:
