I kinda hate to say it, but Charles Manson wouldn't have gotten as far as he did if he weren't a likable guy. That's kind of how you get to be the leader of a murderous cult.

For some ungodly reason, even though I clearly read what you'd written there, my brain interpreted it as "The Erotic Adventures of Milo and Otis".

Another column is clearly named "Foreign TV Show". Thus we briefly had "Maria Bello", "Cop", "Hat", "Prime Suspect". "Free Space" was obviously used on that card.

I still love that one of the largest entertainment corporations on the planet came to Devo, of all bands, and said "Hey…can we do this?"

New Traditionalists if you want an album. But if you're looking for a good overview of the band, you really cannot go wrong with Pioneers Who Got Scalped.

This sort of thing makes me want to drive the 4 hours to get to Chicago, just so I can get shouted down when I scream "First!" halfway through a Q&A.

I don't think she'll say a Peep (and the Big Wide World).

*is now thinking about Amy and Rose at the same time*

Allegedly a large part of it was because Freddie had been a fan of Paul Rodgers and they figured that he would've approved. And I mean, come on- if Return of the Champions proved nothing else, it proved that it's kind of awesome to hear Brian and Roger playing tracks like "Wishing Well" and "All Right Now". The…

I really can't say. Like I said, classic rock radio was verboten in my house, so until Bohemian Rhapsody started popping up on the "Hot 9 at 9" on our local Top-40 station, I'd never heard anything like it on the radio. (The first time, to my knowledge, my parents ever heard the song was when my sister called them…

It's not that their opinions have lessened my enjoyment of it. They're entitled to their opinions. It's that I'm hearing this damn song way more often than I'd like, and there's no getting away from it because, hey- it's popular again. Everybody likes "Don't Stop Believin'", right? I mean, it's not just a cool tune to…

…..which pisses me off to no end, because I fucking loved "Don't Stop Believin'" for years, and now I'm sick to hell of it. And on the off chance it comes on in the car or someplace, and I start getting into it the way I used to, it's always assumed that it's because everybody just latched onto it in the past 5 years…

To be fair, aside from live appearances (and in that case, what are they supposed to do? Anybody that sings with them will be compared to Freddie anyway), most of their post-Freddie output has featured Freddie. Live at the BBC came out in '93, Made In Heaven is a surprisingly solid album given what it is (an album of…

I believe there may have even been some backlash in '93, when they released "Live at the BBC". I think they may have been one of the first acts to release their BBC sessions, and so it was kind of seen as a bit of a cash-grab. At least, that's the impression that I get- I had a bootleg that a friend had given me of a…

I was in 6th grade when Wayne's World came out, and Queen first popped up on my cultural radar. Prior to that, growing up in a super-Conservative household where we weren't even allowed to listen to the local classic rock station, I'd never heard anything like them. While all my classmates had copies of Classic Queen…

But…which? Protestant, with 66 books? Catholic, with 77 books? What if you happen to follow the Gnostic Gospels? And this is all before you start getting into the fanfic.

Yeah- I actually just looked him up there, too. Kind of sad that even the Muppet wiki pretty much just says "He performed Sweetums for a bit, but it's been passed on to other performers, and he made a couple of sculptures." 48 is just way too young.

I don't often do this….but I demand a full write-up, dammit. This man deserves more than 2 paragraphs.

I upvoted. Then I realized it was LaBeouf plagiarizing Andrew Lloyd Webber, and realized there can be no winners.

Pretty sure the tables in the temple thing was a little closer to the end. Pretty much the only "canonical" (depending on what you call canon) teenage Jesus story is when he went to the temple and just started teaching, showing up all the rabbis. Still….pretty precocious.
