Seriously. It sounds like something made up.

Spirited Away, second only to Totoro!

Agreed, a lot of poo out there.

Those are some realistic-looking fake guns. Bet the kids had fun, but I don't like it. It's hard to see this as an apt tribute to MCA.

Thank you for being that guy. This review does seem a little off.

Yes, and it partly centered on "Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club", it being "20 years ago today" in 1987.

Well I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee…

Wow, some of these are pretty good. "Alone but moving": nice way to ease into the week.

If it were me, I would never have left Bombadil and Goldberry's house.

I never met Adam Yauch, except through his music, but I admired his commitment to the spiritual, in spite of fame and fortune, and everything that goes with those. I suspect that wasn't always easy.
 
I am grateful for his role in "Paul's Boutique" in particular — the art therein still reverberates. Condolences to his…

Burger Chef (Chicagoland in the '70s)
Viva Jeff.

And Daniele Luppi. And yes it was (is) great…
