Powderfinger.

It's lovely and restrained. Harrison's leads between 1968 and 1973 are terrific. I especially like the whole Ringo album.

You should check out "Go, Hippie" by Fountains of Wayne. It's practically a tribute.

Aw…Henry Rollins is a softee!

There's this woman who says the car is, "Like, ng-AH!" who will haunt me forever.

He did a good job at the WH Correspondent's Dinner, and seems like a perfectly decent guy. And that answer about what inspires him? Perfect - I'm one white liberal atheist who grew up in a cow town who also takes inspiration from the black artists (mainly music).

The Classic Albums doc about Aja, and "Peg" specifically, is funny.

Nice choices. I'd add that George Harrison's lead on "Something" is unique and beautiful.

His slow jazz version with Marsalis is pretty great.

The Classic Albums about Aja has a hilarious section on all the lousy leads others played on "Peg" - check YouTube.

When he's in a bad mood, he's awesome.

Bill's lucky our aim was off.

I'm gonna check out that Peter Green after work. This live "Jumping at Shadows" is a favorite - I love how the band screws up the chord changes in the beginning: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I don't feel the need to defend Mayer's personality. The world's full of assholes, but it's not full of great guitar players. Damn, that guy can play.

Prince's lead isn't weeping, is it? Clapton's original fits the song much better (it's also the solo that made me pick up a guitar and learn to play).

Huge Thompson fan here - I even interviewed him for CNN.com a few years back. I've seen him do "Walking On a Wire" as an acoustic solo, with the lead intact. Just amazing.

His mom, Queen Beatrix, rode the bicycle to work everyday well into her 60s. The Dutch are cool.

All right, here's a basic question: Can idols be stolen?

Fridays are for DVR watching of The Amazing Race. - An old man (me)
