Before Stern went national, the first stage was being simulcast in NY and Philly. The #1 morning show in Philly at the time was WMMR's Morning Zoo with John DeBella, so Stern took him on hammered at the show constantly (and eventually conquered the time slot). Virtually every new city that got added from that point on…

They picked the wrong Lennon! I mean, of course this band has no chance of ever actually happening, let alone being truly good, but at least pick the son of John who can actually sing and write a decent song or two.

Let's add to the discussion: speakers.  So many people listen with those shitty little ear buds. There's no such thing as full-range ear buds, so it's never going to sound good in that matter. Same with computer speakers. Most car speakers, especially in a moving car, don't provide the full spectrum, and most home…

I agree. It's such a terrible choice of a shot that I didn't even know who the hell she was despite seeing most of the roles they asked her about.

But they DO sound checks. In fact, they also perform a dress rehearsal show at 8 PM. So by the time the live broadcast comes around, they've already performed in that space several times.

Cage: "Oh my God, you must think I'm the worst person to ever host this show!"
Lorne Michaels: "No, that would be Steven Seagal."

Yes, I loved it.

Ever hear the Hendrix version of "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window"?  From the BBC Sessions — very cool.  

Amount of money the parents of John, Paul, George and Ringo spent on guitar and piano lessons: $0.  (There may have been a little spent on lessons for other instruments, but certainly no rock 'n' roll music was covered.)

Try this.  An absolutely brilliant parody of "The Doors" doing Stairway To Heaven:

Buddy Holly.  Hello?  That was the first name I thought of when I saw this list.

No, it's a total violation; semi-colons don't work that way.  He should have used a colon: then he could say anything, separated with commas, or whatever.

"I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man!"

"St. Judy's Comet" - Paul Simon
"Kid" - The Pretenders
"Rufus Is A Tit Man" - Loudon Wainwright III (lots of irony there now)

Fairmount Park, and in particular, Forbidden Drive (motor vehicles are forbidden) is a beautiful wooded walkway where you'd never think you were inside one of the largest cities in the country.

The Rutles
Many great ones:

"Building a bridge to your heart"

"Stop naming nuts."

D'oh! You're right — it was on "Highway 61." Doesn't change anything else I said, though, softblow.

1965 was a whole different era for pop music writing
When I first saw this, I thought Dylan was being a dick, and for no reason.
