I bought tickets to see them next month and the show is pretty much advertised as a legacy show from some oldies act. I'm trying to pretend the same amount of time didn't pass between 2002 and now as did between 1988 and 2002. I'm not old enough to be old.

He was also the one who pissed off Eddie Vedder by owning a gun for protection after they got famous, if I recall correctly.

But do we really need thirteen questions about The Postman?

They've sold out, but it's for a lot of money so it's okay.

She called herself an "Oregonian."

And the real Bill Clinton made a reference to having a Police Academy marathon in a convention speech.

I attended one of their recruitment meetings. A few minutes in, amongst people happily believing they'd found a job, I was drawing pyramids on my information sheet from the front row in full view of the sales leader. I still got invited to join the team.

I met a woman from Portland last week and apparently people from Portland hate Portland as much as people who aren't from Portland.

You can't turn on the TV without seeing his ads. He was also the Democratic candidate for governor in 1998 and got crushed.

I grew up in the Detroit suburb where this show was set. Between it, Dr. Kevorkian, and the incident that inspired the term "going postal," we had a lot going on in the nineties.

Although likely nothing on BET.

You didn't have to do the article—I was going to re-watch the show anyway.

I was never an Oasis fan, but this summer I went to see Noel because Ryan Adams was opening (the order really should have been switched based on relative venue and ticket sales on their previous stops in town, but whatever). I went in not particularly impressed, but by the time he started "Champagne Supernova" I was…

So, it's that awful John Cusack movie without the stupid plot twist where he had some weird guiding moral quest?

The third spirit will also mess with the lights.

You mean accomplish what MAFIA couldn't?

Fun fact: it was written about a real life couple who were found dead in a deserted valley shortly after the song was written. But you know, catchy.

I went to see Sugar Ray as part of their has-beens nostalgia tour with some friends last weekend (free tickets, which thankfully is usually my defense for things like that). They're actually a decent live act even though I never liked their music.

I think he's too big a name and it's intended more for lesser-knowns.

Huh. Always thought they were just a local thing. Never realized anyone past the state line knew who they were.
