All kids are kidnapped, if you think about it.

Upvoted for the comment about American cities. The headline of this article gave me twin impulses: 1) To comment "They filled it in with 6 feet of rock and roll," and 2) To show that government CAN do something, and we need to f'n remember that, stat.

I like Bill Wyman, music journalist. I was expecting "Furry Animals" to be at the bottom - it somehow snuck onto an AccuRadio mix and I heard it maybe three times at work - what the hell is this? But he stuck "Two Suns" below "Furry Animals," and that I can't agree with - it's got a decent acoustic guitar syncopation…

There's a Wiz Butler. Only those with silly, juvenile minds get the joke the first time.

"To Have and Have Not" is underrated. Sure, it's a tossed-off filler movie, but who needs heart-rending drama and strict construction when Slim is batting her lashes, pulling money from her breast, waving wine bottles, shaking her hips, slapping Bogie's face a time or two, all while never letting her voice get louder…

The album is frequently in my car - the best stuff is gold. I very much lake "The Ballad of Todd Rundgren" - it's mostly mellower, but it has the same twisted humor as S/A and has a great, warm production. "A Wizard/A True Star" is too ambitious for its own good, but it alternates between fascinating and infuriating -…

Name is Leech. Archie Leech. I'll have four Oreos, double-stuffed, with Ginger Ale. She's the latest Leech villianess.

"It Takes Two to Tango," "I Went to the Mirror," "Little Red Lights," "Some Folks is Even Whiter Than Me." Sometimes I try, most of the time I skip.

Restaurant Indrapura. Indonesian Rijstaffel, Rembrantplein, Amsterdam.

LAY-dees.

If this list had any thought behind it, they would have put Wilco's Summerteeth on it for its "I dreamt I killed you and I felt all right" and "she begs me not to hit her." But it puts Yankee Hotel Foxtrot on instead. It's not a serious effort.

"Click me long, click me hard, click me fast."

The list is random garbage. It undermines a conversation NPR started with the women's list.

Another reason I like him.

So I'm not pervy for replaying that scene in "Bound"?

I'll say what goes without saying — Paul McCartney from 1966 to 1969 had the most wide-ranging, influential, magical era rock and roll music period ever (and I say that as a John fan).

One thing I'll say for Roger Ebert - if there were large, well-displayed boobies in a movie, he'd add a couple of grade points. He liked looking at girls. Some of the first movies were about looking at girls.

The Ronettes and the Crystals - yay! They supplied joy which would have cut through AM radio static even without Phil's orchestrations. And Wanda Jackson - yay again!

After my Dutch mother and her older sister survived occupation by the Germans, they bonded over love of movie stars. They started going to movies in their teen years (my religious grandfather was against it, grandmother was for it).

I knew Karla Bonoff's first solo record wasn't going to be listed, but it's got some great writing, and a few of the songs were covered by Ronstadt. I prefer Bonoff's version of "Someone to Lay Down Beside Me," which has Waddy Wachtel's leering Mr. Goodbar guitar solo.
