And I missed Ringo Starr by one hour. Goddammit.

Customer Servant to the Stars
Jeff Daniels - working on a play in Chicago. He was surly, mumbly.
Brian Dennehy - ditto. Very friendly actually, discussed college basketball.
Tim Meadows - rang up his Thanksgiving turkey. Really nice guy, was with his kids.
I had brief, meaningless conversations with all of these guys,…

Exit, raped by a bear.

I'm a big fan of the monster-in-a-box segment with Adrienne Barbeau and Hal Holbrook, but Leslie Nielsen is great in his.

Yes the acoustic version is lovely. There are some great live versions too with bracingly noisy guitar solos.

Cosmo's Factory is their best album in my opinion. It's got "Ramble Tamble" and that shit is epic.

Run Through the Jungle, also. But not at the expense of Polvo.

Oh man, Don't Let Me Down. That one is key. Lennon's falsetto at the end. Beautiful.
Sexy Sadie.
Girl.
Ticket to Ride.

Who are pawents?

I mentioned this on a random thread
but the song Feather of Forgiveness of off Exploded Drawing is tits. If you haven't heard Polvo before listen to that one.

Julie Christie
the rumors are true…

Beatles For Sale
Deserves better than a B. It has "No Reply." Also, it's gotta be like the first "ambiguous reaction to megastardom" album in the rock canon.

Yeah, but the first side of Abbey Road also has Come Together, Something, Oh Darling, and I Want You (she's so heavy). It may have Octopus's Garden and Maxwell's Silver Hammer (which I like in spite of myself) but come on, those are some heavy hitters.

I loved Adventureland. I thought it hit on a lot of familiar beats in genuine ways that made them feel fresh.

Best part of the film is when Ray Liotta slowly dances into frame at the prom.

Bad one: Tacked-on bridge! "Love Will Keep Us Together" is a good example.
Awesome one: False ending. "Mouthbreather" by Jesus Lizard or "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" by Roxy Music.

Fast Times!

"It's not about the girl."
"It's not?"
"Well, it is. But…see if you can follow me here…it…isn't."

I'm not sure if said rummy is really choosing a life of sobriety, it always seemed to me like the proverbial bum was looking at the booze like "what the hell is IN this shit?" and then throwing it away.
