Hey wait that's what I  just said.

I thought Megan turned Don onto Revolver as part of a general program of catching him up with what's going on in music and youth culture - not just to endorse any one specific song for a particular commercial.  And since Tomorrow Never Knows is the most cutting-edge, game-changing, revolutionary track on the album,

It's on Netflix streaming too I believe.

She should have worked in a shout-out to Opie and Anthony, her longtime regular appearances there have given her tons of exposure.

I don't know if I've seen more than an episode or two total of Law and Order; familiarity with that show was *not* necessary to completely get and enjoy the parody aspects of this hilarious Community episode, if you've seen other network cop shows which I have watched plenty of, like CSI or NYPD Blue (or even the

A few years back, the cover band I was playing in at the time, an 80's tribute band, got to accompany Bonnie Tyler (who had the huge hit with it of course) on "Total Eclipse of the Heart." (Our bassist was and probably still is, Bonnie's touring bassist too, and he was able to arrange for her to come on stage with us

I've made a huge mistake
Come ON!

I've got one for you guys
…don't think anyone's brought it up. A fantastic song called "Surf And/Or Die" from Walter Becker's IMO magnificent 1993 album "11 Tracks of Whack." It's an admiring eulogy for a character who's died in a hang-gliding or sky diving accident IIRC. (I seem to also remember, maybe from the

Love Tina Fey but….
love her brain, her mind, and her funny, but I reject the frequent claim that she is good looking. She's just not!

I'm not fooling myself into thinking that this is interesting
…but neither are anybody else's, particularly. For a long time my trademark, self-invented after-school snack, now remembered fondly although I haven't indulged in decades, was Breyer's fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt, strawberry or blueberry, wll mixed up of

Coincidentally
Just last night I bought tickets to an oldies concert in NYC in a couple weeks, mainly because of the headliner, the great! Ron Dante. (Loved his voice on all the Archies records since I was a kid, still dig them now; "Sugar Sugar" has always been one of my faves and there' s nothing you can do about

All the shows I have watched regularly
this year, and it's really only a handful - all of them made this list so I feel pretty smart. Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Daily Show, Louie, the Office, Community, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock, that's pretty much it (well I also watch SNL but that's kind of a special case). A few

In Nov. of 2009
….The cover-band I was playing keyboards in at the time, was hired by Miley and her mom to play as the entertainment at her 17th birthday party in a club they rented in downtown NYC. They all arrived in buses right from her concert earlier that night out on Long Island. A couple members of the cast

Sat. night 70's sitcoms
I think Bob Newhart was the best and funniest of all of them (and that his 80's show didn't compare at all) - still imo the best sitcom of all time, or the best "traditional" one before the modern era of cringe/irony (which I also love). and I was glad that this article mentioned some

I'm old enough that -
….hearing that NYKOB are 35 doesn't especially make me feel old because that still sounds pretty young!

almost famous
I play in a very cheesy but good all-80's cover band in Long Island; anyway, our female lead singer, is flying out there to Austin now, to perform at SXSW with Moby as one of the back-up vocalists in his current side-project band The Little Death (of which she is a member!), and she will also be singing

Love Bob Newhart but
I'm a huge fan of his 70's show (strong contender IMO for best all-time sitcom), his standup, I loved reading his recent book "I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This," etc. But I could never really get through an episode of his 80's sitcom Newhart, never found it particularly funny, and thought it was
