During this "Lost Weekend" Lennon also recorded with Elton John (his cover of Lucy in the Sky) and David Bowie (his cover of Across the Universe, as well as co-writing and singing on Fame). And I also think very highly of Walls and Bridges….

I could also be a really long cover of John and Yoko's Nutopian International Anthem, a :04 piece from Mind Games.

" I wonder how many of you have actually spent multiple days alone in the wilderness without hearing any human voice but your own."

If you find SantaLand Diaries "excruciating," then what you're missing is everything. In fact, you probably should probably stay away from the Humor section completely.

I first noticed him when he was a regular guest on Tough Crowd (it was a short-lived Politically Correct-type wannabe hosted by Colin Quinn that came on after The Daily Show). I thought he was always the funniest on the panel, the most prepared and the most astute — certainly more so than the host. And on the Comedy…

After ONE broadcast?!?
So what they're really saying is, the other networks did a better job of advertising their shows that were aired at the same time. It's not as if viewers watched Lone Star and decided they didn't like it — they didn't even look at it. Or get a chance to.

Modeled after Orwell's 1984
When I had finally gotten around to reading F 451, it became immediately clear that the whole novel was a mirror of 1984, almost as if Bradbury read 1984 (written in 1948) and thought, hey, I want to do one like this.

I think Rose Byrne is great. It's all in the eyes.

Yeah, I agree. If only there was a website, that had videos, where we could easily go and see if there's any video out there. Hmmm….someone ought to invent that.

I found disco pretty easy to avoid, mostly, during the 70s. Sure, the decade was loaded with crap (they all are, of course) but the bulk of all the great rock albums came out in the 70s — unless your taste blows….

I thought it was one of the best episodes this show has done. I'm a little surprised this ep wasn't more universally loved, given the track record of the show and the kind of audience this type of show gets: i.e., one that appreciates character and artful direction, and doesn't require guns or fights or cars to…

I think the vocal was supposed to be like that. They were clearly going for an old-school blues sound. If you look carefully, you'll notice that Petty isn't singing directly into the microphone — normally a singer will more or less "eat the mic," with his mouth right on the mic. In this case, his mouth was below…

Todd is totally out to lunch on this one. Annie having a crush on Chang doesn't even make sense. I thought it was obvious — on just one viewing, not four — that Annie was feeling awkward and self-consciously embarrassed at being called out on dressing what she admits is a professor look — not because Chang is a…

Coupon: The Movie
Coupon was WAY ahead of its time. Monopoly: The Movie can only be derivative in comparison.

That sound more like something Derek Smalls would say.

Actually, the bass player WAS there for the recordings (except for "When the Music's Over" pretty much all the other recordings have real bass). It's just those damn concerts — he never showed up once, that irresponsible drunk bastard.

Zappa's a good one.

Jennifer Love Hewitt's left tit. But not the hideous right one….

Pinkney: the last line you cite from "The Final Cut" should be:
Where I hide (NOT where I'll die)

Songwriting
When the original was done, I looked at all the participants, and saw some of the greatest songwriters of 60s-80s: Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, etc. So who writes the song? Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie!
