I didn't realize that was him at the piano. Really, they should've just had Van Morrison sing the lead vocal while they were at it.

I recall a Cliff Richard quote that went something like "I got labeled as a square simply by being a normal person, which shows just how messed up the music business is."

HA - I thought about mentioning that scene.

He says those things about Annie Lennox in general, but he never really addresses this song in particular. At one point, it seems like he's about to…then he proceeds to talk about the video.

For Don Fanucci, the secret meaning was that an assassin was hiding in the shadows.

Sort of, but it appears Hank B. Marvin (whom I admit I had to look up just now) was a Strat man. The kicker with Mayer's performance was the Jackson guitar, since Jacksons are pretty much exclusively used by metal guitarists.

Any set where there were sexy ladies lookin' sexy, amirite?

I know this is off-topic, but why is it that people always use the "child's game" line when they're trying to downplay the significance of sport?

Well, then. If that's how you feel, definitely don't watch the 2015 bandy world championships in Khabarovsk, Russia.

good catch

Casting Arthur as a bit of a schlub was definitely purposeful. Makes it easier to imagine her going back to badge-wearing badass Stan Beeman.

Oleg will be back next week. And he'll be jogging, apparently.

I don't think they're openly atheist, are they? E. goes to church with Paige, sings the hymns, etc. So far they've been fairly tolerant of Paige's spirituality, if not encouraging.

I'm no theologian, but I'm fairly certain that that question has been addressed in the writings of numerous Christian thinkers over the centuries. That's not to say you yourself have to believe in the answer, or that there aren't Christians who would have a difficult time articulating a response, but let's not act…
