It was on VH-1, of course. I conflate a lot of things in my old age.

I know, it's unbelievable that someone actually named their son "Doctor." I wouldn't want a doctor whose first name is "Doctor" on principle.

Ah, the grandson. Makes sense. "Chantilly Lace" will live forever as long as there is male issue in the Richardson family.

I agree, in the context of the Broadway show it is from (A Little Night Music) it works. Also, like many a Broadway tune, it was written to fit the singing limitations of a specific actress (Glynis Johns.) This is why, essentially, anyone can sing it. And damnit, apparently everyone has. Judy Collins' version in

Whoever you saw was not The Big Bopper's actual son, as Jay Richardson died 3 years ago.

He might have survived if they just left the bullet in him (not as uncommon a thing in those days as you would think). They did so much damage trying to get it out.

The first time I saw that Kids in the Hall sketch I laughed so fucking hard. Someone is going to hell for that sketch. And for no reason, I blame Mark.

MTV did a Behind the Music on "The Day the Music Died" which was sort of way to do a combo BTM about Holly and Valens. But, oh yeah, we have to do the Big Bopper too. The part about him was so perfunctory and thin that they had to fill out time talking to his son (who was born two months after the plane crash), to the

Jefferson Airplane (w/ Slick, Balin, Kantner, Casady, Kaukonen) actually put out a reunion album no one wanted a couple years later (1989).

I guess it's some sort of testament to Elton John that he sang a lot of this shit for decades and had a ton of hits to show for it.

It's an album title that sounds clever (if you never heard the word "hoopla" before I suppose), but really isn't.

And the rest of the lyrics are typical Taupin doggerel, to wit:

That's some good PR advice: die with two other guys, one more talented than you, and one way more talented than you, and you will be forever remembered simply from the association.

"We Built This City" inspired this bit which is good for a chuckle.

Guys will never stop peeing in the shower. Some laws of the universe just cannot be changed.

Yup. That why it's so Jimmy. I'm not sure it's been clearly established, but judging by what we know of Edgar's background, he most likely speaks Spanish. Jimmy, of course, doesn't pay attention to anything Edgar does thus his clear ignorance of something someone would know about a person that's been living in his

Holy shit! That is fucking awesome. I should've known that line was more than random.

Wait, you watch the show as Peter Parker, but you post as Spider-Man? If you just watched the show as Spider-Man, there wouldn't be a problem.

Sam's plausibly terrible lyrics never fail to amuse.

Kudos? A crime against humanity is what it is. (Damn, Aya is hella-beautiful.)
