Thanks for this friend—I'm at work listening to this and weeping.  Getting the weirdeye from my coworkers.

You know what this movie needs?  A Hobo….with a SHOTGUN!!!!!!!!!

The week before "Briefcase Full of Blues" was released, I was shopping for music at my neighborhood record store.  While I was browsing, a guy wanders in singing, "I'm a Soul Man!" over and over to himself.  Every couple of minutes or so, he'd pester the clerk to see if the album was in stock.  Each time he was told

Early in our relationship, I gave my future wife a real double whammy:  At our third date, I took her to see TETSUO: THE IRON MAN at which she drifted off to sleep within 15 minutes.  The next blazing success was RESERVOIR DOGS.  I was blown away by the film and began raving about it for 10 minutes as we exited the

Not one more sou for this bigoted fuck.  When I discovered his lunatic ravings, I sold/trashed  anything I owned by him.  I will respect and read normal different political/social views, but Card is a fascist asshole.

I owned quite a few of Card's books before I discovered what a fucking bigoted nutbag he'd become.  I really do make an effort to allow writer's their political views, but I've got to draw the line at out-and-out racism and homophobia.  I sold everything on Ebay and haven't missed him a bit.  As an aside, I also

As long as someone give Mirren a gun and tells her to cut loose, I'll keep watching.

One from left of left field…
1964's "The New Interns". A sentimental medical potboiler probably best known for featuring future TV stars (Stephanie Powers, Greg Morris, Dean Jones) and giving George Segal his first film. The party scene, however, is inspired. Lots o' booze, women in diaper bikinis, and inspired

Just fuck the viewing public..
…you guys have the aggregate IQ of a sack of hammers. Just keep boosting "The League's" numbers. It hurts to say this, but, for once, the network is fairly blameless.

"Silver Ribbons" , from the soundtrack, is one the best goddamn songs Jennings ever did. Only available on the old RCA soundtrack. The production is a little slick, but Waylon kicks ass throughout.

Dogs are a natural complement to mankind. They exist so we do not have to face nature alone. We have an unspoken compact with them; give us your loyalty and love, we will feed, care for, and love you in return. That's why we have such a visceral reaction when we see dogs mistreated (just fuck you in so many ways,

I saw ED in a Midwestern drive-in, midnight show, intermittent thunderstorm with my two brothers. We were properly gobsmacked and amazing creeped out.

Mr. Ames is…
batshit looneytunes crazy. And I want to hang with him. Seriously, Jon, call me.

Oh yeah; your lips to god's ear. "Blue Valentine" is transcendent. His cover of "Somewhere" cuts everyone else who attempted it. "Kentucky Ave" is also one of the most gorgeous pieces he's ever composed.

Tobacco Road…
Always preferred the Blues Magoos version.

Shave, Willya?
The only time I felt Entourage was too classy to host a certain kind of celebrity, it was Ratboy's episode.

His version of "Midnight Rider" damn near cuts the Allmans'.

Yes, yes, yes! A criminally underrated band. Their cover of "Lost Highway" is a muthafukka.

Waylon was my man….
When I was in college in the '70s and listening to a heapin' helpin' of Springsteen, Ramones, and tons of Glam, one of my newly-met buddies was a guitarist in several local country bands and an absolutely batshit Jennings fan. After about a year of constant listening, I owned copies of "The
