Where's my boss?
I need to leave the office early so that I can spend the rest of the day scratching my head.

Ben Folds Five, Beck…and Dave Matthews Band?!?
Giants Stadium, 96-ish?

Verbena's cockrockery?!?! Fwhaa??? I could understand labeling it stoner rock, maybe…but cock rock?!?

I'd love to kiss a cactus
At first I was going to give the requesite "Why no talk about…?" in reference to Verbena, but then I remembered the alphabet.

More Bruuuuuce love
I finally saw Springsteen and E Street live just late last year (Times Union Center, Albany, NY), and it was easily the greatest concert I've ever been too. Like Nathan said, the guy's easily 30 years older than me, and he did not stop the whole 3 and a half hours of his show. Each song was…

You think I don't need to know where the nearest hospital is?
Easily the line of the night. Actually, Stanley's whole rant there was pretty stellar. (But really, when ISN'T Stanley the comedic highlight?)

Golden Grahams treats…
…have been available for years. They're delicious, much like the cereal itself. A cheesburger egg roll sounds (reads?) like it would taste like a taquito. True?

Also awesome
"Look at those biceps! We were fighting the power and eating whatever we wanted."

Others
Though I joined in the "Kavalier and Clay" love earlier, and would still definitely foist upon everyone to read, there are others I think everyone should read:

Ahh, "Welcome to Mooseport." I, unfortunately, saw that debacle in the theatre. I didn't realize he had retired after that. Talk about NOT walking out on a high note.

So, besides doing voice-overs for Lowe's commercials, where has Gene Hackman been? His last movie was what, that awful Owen Wilson Air Force movie? He needs to get into some more pictures. One of the few, if not only, actors who elevates everything he's in, by easily being the best actor in them.

Not many people can cha-cha-cha
"Back to the Beach" is definitely up there. Along with "Saved by the Bell" and "Charles In Charge," it was the babysitter in my house growing up. And I still think it's hilarious and one of the most truly insane movies ever made. So, I'll probably always revisit it along with…

Give a listen to "Destination 2000" and it's not a shock that Sam Jayne would be a metalhead.

Ten
First tape I bought with my own money was Pearl Jam's "Ten." I had to conspire with the salesgirl at The Wall in convincing my mother that there was nothing on the album that was "dirty." This was the same woman who took away the Prince tapes we got from Columbia House when I asked her what "Pussy Control" was,…

Ah, the modern American inner city. No banks, but ample opportunity to buy lotto tickets and cheap hooch.

I'll see your Ghetto Big Mac, and raise you one free cheeseburger.

Good grief
I need my blanket.

In this instance, I think, "Music by Liz Phair" meant Liz Phair picked which "modern pop songs" would be used on the soundtrack. I didn't hear one piece of original or instrumental music the entire two hours.

So, did anybody watch it last night? It's the first and last episode of it I'll watch. My wife loved it: she was a huge fan of the original, so she got all the knowing winks to the original's fans, me—not so much. I was holding out some small ounce of hope since it's Rob Thomas, but it was pretty bad. And every…

It's no Veronica Mars…
…but what 'bout "90210" for morbid curiousity's sake? As for other new shows "Fringe" and "Kath and Kim" seem like the only ones worth checking out.
