I'm almost the opposite, I love boomer music and think only a fraction of what came after was worth my time. But you're right, skill counts for me.

Bruce did a VH1 Storytellers years later which had a better intimacy to it.

It wasn't in the episode, but I really liked his version of "Everything Is Broken" that I've heard on bootlegs.

I'd love to see him do it again with his current band. They do all of his music justice and would easily fit in that environment.

Acoustic bass guitars look worse than they sound, but yeah you can tell the commitment by a bass player if they use that or a stand-up. I think some even used electric basses, because why not.

He had some okay singles and great live performances since then, but definitely the Cream albums, Blind Faith, his first solo album and the Dominoes stuff is the very best of the best.

The Alice In Chains one was better.

I'll stand up for the Clapton episode, even if "Tears In Heaven" and "Layla" were overplayed. I really don't remember the "Tears In Heaven" from the show being the hit that the original version was though.

I liked that book, more from a film perspective than a musical one. It was interesting reading about David Fincher's career before he went into features, and how Michael Bay's rivalry/worship of him festered through the early 90's.

First half was better, but overall an okay episode to end a pretty excellent season.

The toast bit was pretty good.

A-

No, the guy ripping his skin apart to escape earlier is still pretty grody.

I actually think it's a plot point of the show, with Homer thinking they're albinos.

"There are no saints in the animal kingdom. Just breakfast and dinner".

Dave Bautista now looks like what would have happened if a modern-day Phil Collins became The Thing.

On a film site I'm on some of the members expressed a problem with the wife's speech during the aftermath of Pacino's character dealing with the dead girl in her family. I use this scene as a retort to them thinking it was just pretentious prose on Mann's part, when it's really indicative that the wife herself has her…

Anyone else laugh at the Gracepoint pic? I figured Tennant would have changed his look for the show, just a little bit.

My favorite movie. It has all that and a dense atmosphere that could only be manufactured by Michael Mann, who did his due diligence in terms of immersing himself in that world and having the presence of mind to notice finite details a lot of people would overlook.

In reality I bet Ralph burned rubber, never to be seen of again.
