A few come to mind…
The brass action in "Give It to Me" by Rick James.
Frank Zappa's recordings were rife with solos involving other instrument besides guitar. Motorhead Sherwood's frantically loopy sax solo in "King Kong". Ruth Underwood's xylophone segue to "St. Alphonzo's Pancake Breakfast". The trombone, then…

Was it over when ISIS bombed Pearl Harbor? Believe me, when the going gets tough, the tough get going…

George W. Bush was more like the guy you'd see at the company picnic, manning the burger grill with a brewski while telling some bawdry jokes.

Terrance & Phillip! I see Terrance and Phillip, those flatulent Canadians from South Park!

I would love to see these Bob Dylan tunes given various treatments:
"Bob Dylan's 115th Dream" as a cartoon.
"Desolation Row" as film noir
"Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" as a western movie
"Visions of Johanna", "Tangled Up in Blue" and "Simple Twist of Fate" as romance flicks
"Isis" as an adventure film

And Prince was a great guitarist! I have always said that Prince ought to make an album of nothing but guitar solos, extracted from records and live performances, similar to Frank Zappa's Shut Up 'n' Play Yer Guitar. No vocals. No introductions. No segues.

How do you like it, how do you like it…

But then, some Final Jeopardy!s have a 66% disaster factor, especially if the distant third place contestant wins, but no one gives a care about it.

C'mon, it was not a disaster. If it was true disaster, no one would have got any, or at least very few, of the clues during the regular course of the game correct. They got the final wrong, that's what it comes down to. It was not a disaster. It was not an epic fail. Life goes on.

And they had to guard against each other.

So it all comes down to this: By snubbing ______, the Oscars continue to exclude ______ cinema. Fill in the blanks with however you like.

Slim Whitman isn't in either, and he sold more records than Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles combined! (But of course, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles never combined to make a record.)

I'll take "Devil in My Car" any day!

*sings "The Piano's Been Drinking (Not Me)", not before loading up with Old Crow and Old Golds (unfiltered, naturally)…

As far as I concerned, the only two tracks I want to see the final, once-and-for-all remasterings are "Daytripper" and "She Loves You". "Daytripper" is easy; in the original pressing, there is a brief, inexplicable drop out of sound after the line "tried to please her" (third verse). Restore some sound and, boom,…

Thankfully, MTV ran season two of Broad City during the overnights (which I recorded), so then my wife and I can binge on the wacky exploits of Abby and Illana this weekend.

When I was three or four, for reasons still odd to me, I would run upstairs and hide under my bed briefly whenever I heard the Hooterville train whistle in the opening titles to Petticoat Junction.

That must have been a Sting operation!

I do not think the cop in question even knows what "boycott" means. For example, I am not boycotting this movie, I am not choosing to view it. If the cop does not want to see it, fine, no one is obligated to see it. And I do not think he is putting his gun to your head telling you not to see it (although that may…

I still stand by my theory for nominations, that being that the Hall will look at the playlists of various employees and visitors and go from there. So, for example, Jerry from the mailroom had Cheap Trick and Steve Miller on his iPod, Marge in accounting had Chic and Janet Jackson on her computer, Marty the UPS dude…
