The first Alvin and the Chipmunks movie was AWESOME!  I don't care what you people think.  That first movie was clever and sweet and funny too!  David Cross made an excellent bad guy in the record exec role.  Very well done indeed!

When I went to the University of Florida, there was the rumor that the song was about a girl who killed herself from jumping from Beaty Towers (which looked out on 441).

That's a great picture of 2 people who have millions of fans.  Millions of fans.  The end times have already come.

Another great episode.  This may be my favorite season of this show yet.  Everything is clicking perfectly.

Well to each his own of course.  But I think you are missing a couple important facts here… 1) a song can't be not catchy and yet you end up singing it in your head.  That means it is catchy.  2) It is not a Wings song.  It was recorded by Paul McCartney alone as part of his McCartney II project which is pure genius.

I heard… "a long time… in the can… just sitting there."

Madonna is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Madonna.

Outlaw Pete was the greatest song since Kiss' "I Was Made For Loving You."

You are 100% correct.  Happy Thanksgiving.  And may your frozen turkey be just as good as the real.

Fantastic list!  I love rock docs and have never heard of most of these!  Thank you Jon!

Grace Under Pressure was truly unique in the Rush catalog.  Beautiful stuff.

This movie is funny.  You get to see so much behind the scenes stuff you get a sense of what these people are actually like.  Paul McCartney is a goofy grandpa like guy who is also one of the most famous pop stars of all time.  Billy Joel is like that dorky friend you have that sort of annoys you but his sweet nature…

I saw Thor but also thought it was a Starman parody at first.  Funny episode though.  The History Channel… the Learning Channel… American Movie Classics… MTV… all channels with names that don't really represent what they do. 

But instead the call goes to William Kristol in a case of mistaken identity and the Oscars airs on Fox News.

A better movie than what?  Hey somebody should remake Peanuts but this time turn Charlie Brown into the most popular kid at school and let Snoopy speak in a French accent.  That would be awesome.  Or maybe a new Scooby Doo but this time Shaggy is a robot named S.H.A.G.-E.

I think we're all upset that Carson Kressley was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars.

If I ever met him I would not be able to restrain myself from saying… "tickle your ass with a feather?"

His greatest role is not mentioned:  the sadistic military guy from Up the Academy!
Say it again!  Up the Academy!

Well of course you can make money through art and that very financially successful things have artistic merit.  But the perception of that art is changed because of the success.

All art should be fairly assessed on it's own merits.  But this isn't art we're talking about.  It's commerce.  The only reason people even know these artists and records is because they sold loads of copies… or the artists themselves helped the press sell loads of copies/advertising/etc.
