Excellent point - a wildly divergent cover may fall on its face, but at least the artist took a chance; the Pumpkins and Chicks basically went straight, and that leads to a question of "what was the point?"

Wait, are you saying it's cool if people don't all like the same thing?

I can certainly get on board that the Chuck/Di wedding and "We're Not Gonna Take It" were probably close enough that you can allow the fib; although I didn't remember the exact date, "Eternal Flame" being the Bangles song gave me a little bit of a "wait, what?" but yeah, The Goldbergs brings enough to the table that…

THE GREATEST ANACHRONISM OF ALL - HOW DOES SHE LOOK BETTER AT 55 THAN SHE DID AT 30?

Especially since a key plot point was that Beverly had set her alarm to watch the wedding live….

I can only assume this means you're not gonna take it anymore.

Hey, I've often jerked off to my (then-)wife.

"What do you need porn for? Your wife is hot and you can have sex with her whenever you want!"

It wasn't a significant music cue, but I enjoyed hearing Squeeze's "Slap and Tickle" when Elizabeth and Sandra had their girls' night out.

"The Road Behind" by GWAR.

Is it a concert if they don't ever actually play?

That wasn't fiction, I think Hawkwind has a song that they have been playing since 1978.

Any show where the most prominent fan is referred to as "Rock Freak" in the credits is one I want to be at.

You may be a king or a little street sweeper, 
But sooner or later you dance with the reaper

I don't think it had anything to do with the sweep. I just think Academy voters lack imagination (which is an odd thing to say for people involved in making up stories for a living)

Maybe hot chicks really DO like a sense of humor most of all!

Supporting in all 3 of the projects you mentioned. I don't think anyone went to see a movie solely because Kevin Bacon was in it  - Quicksilver - which to be fair, is a shitty movie for reasons having nothing to do with Bacon - proved THAT.

Hmm. Nah, I'd think in his prime Quaid was a bigger name, but nowadays I'd rate them about the same. Quaid had his moments where he flirted with stardom, Bacon to me was always more a journeyman/character guy (yes, I know FOOTLOOSE was a huge hit).

"You still drink?"

"Aaaahhh! La policia!"
