    With the autobiographical theme of the U2 IE tour, I was really hoping that U2 could have paired Tomorrow with Iris live on tour, as it is another song that deals with the death of Bono's mother.

    Year One is terrific. I always liked Gotham by Gaslight as well.

    I know that this will be a broad comedy, but it's nice that, for a change, educators are portrayed on TV as actually giving a shit about their job, and trying to succeed. As a teacher, I get really tired of the lazy "this who can't …" character tropes, as seen on that show Teachers, and that other one that's on Tru TV

    I would think "Millions of everyday Americans, who apparently make up this country, and represent who we are now, were the deciding factor in President Trump winning last night's election" is infinitely sadder …

    I mean, the internet is going to will this film into existence, no?

    Same here - the theater near me was bought up by Cinemark, completely and beautifully refurbished, and runs all kinds of deals. I can wait a few weeks for any movie, and see it for a bargain during the day, in a recliner, with great sound and def. We also have a nice Criterion theater nearby as well, whose prices are

    How is "… and Jerry Lewis" buried at the end of this?!

    Haters gon' hate on Hater, I guess …

    Palace Theater is in Waterbury, CT, not NY … it's a gloriously restored old theater/music house, located in a gloriously bombed-out urban hellscape …

    Not sure they'd be considered "dream pop," but I sure do love The Raveonettes …

    Nick Lachey and the Foo Fighters towers over CHester Bennington and STP …

    Yup. Have you heard his interview with Keith Richards? After he calms down his fanboying, the conversation is quite enjoyable.

    Oh, don't get me wrong - I was not implying that my fandom ended in the 90s … I'll go to bat for pretty much every post-Be Here Now Oasis album. Force of Nature and Part of the Queue are two of my favorite non-classic-album Oasis tracks.

    This album is, in some ways, the Use Your Illusion 1&2 of Brit-Pop: the biggest band in the world got to indulge absolutely every last whim that popped into its head in the studio,

    The Masterplan is one of the best non-album albums of the 90s, in my opinion. So many beautiful songs on there.

    Public Enemy playing out the Oscars?! Did they think everyone would have tuned out by now?

    How many high school lockers did they have to raid until they found their perfect album title scribbled on the back of an Algebra II notebook?

    A tucked in T shirt, to boot …
