Someone had the greatest idea in a thread a few weeks ago about a remake of the movie with Bill Murray and Tom Hanks. Kind of wish that were happening instead.

My dad's Seger story is that he first heard him when "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" was first a hit in Detroit. We live easily over 100-150 miles from there so we could only get their stations at night at the time. Wish I could have been there to see Bob live with my brother for his 60th birthday.

I still hear it on there from time to time.

I wouldn't say "forever". Memory is a fickle thing though good or great songs aren't. Funny thing is, Seger has only started playing it again live for the first time since it came out (which obviously pre-dated Chevy).

I'm not sure he did it for free exactly, but I think at least he put some of what he earned back into the auto industry.

I get what you mean. I can actually only take so much of both shows before I get kind of infuriated myself. Not at the shows or hosts themselves, but the kind of ignorance on display in major media outlets like Fox or CNN is a big reason I don't even have cable anymore.

Admittedly O'Reilly is much better at doing that. You'll never see Hannity or virtually anyone else on the network do Letterman or The Daily Show. It's attention-grabbing yes, but it's still putting himself in the proverbial hot-seat.

Hannity, definitely. I keep hoping O'Reilly someday has his Network moment and tells the network and his loyal viewership to fuck off. He's just enough of a human being that under the right circumstances that it's slightly possible.

"Like a Rock" was used hilariously in The Weather Man.

I saw Wolf of Wall Street on Christmas day last year. Didn't leave in the most of joyous moods, obviously.

My brother dislikes Springsteen and I once joked with him (being from Indiana) that someone in NY or NJ is saying the same thing about Seger.

He did it for free, to help the Detroit auto industry. Same as Eminem would more recently.

I think that story is attributed to the keyboard player who played on it, hearing the mix with just guitar, bass, drums and the vocal.

I love those scores. A big box set of the whole scores came out last year.

I watched a Doobie Brothers documentary last week, and it's kind of amazing how when he became the lead singer they became somewhat of a different band but they found just as much success as they had before instead of people just not buying it because Tom Johnston wasn't there anymore and it was less guitar-based.…

I love it too, probably my favorite of Elfman's scores. Someone mentioned Clapton here, and I think Elfman based the slow slide-guitar motif on Eric's work on The Hit. You be the judge.

Peter Hyams had a string of pretty good movies in the 80's. This, Outland, The Star Chamber, 2010, The Presidio.

I really liked the song McDonald did for the Louis Malle film Crackers from a few years earlier. which I don't think is available anywhere unless you catch it on cable.

One of Troy McClure's less focused efforts, IMO.

No, the dog in the Bush Beans commercials.
