I can't fathom how they'd be able to afford such a lineup. We're talking needing about a billion dollar advance

Shocking lack of respect for the "San Pedro Beach Bums", I will admit. I won't even get into "Holmes & YoYo".

Wouldn't be caught dead with a pipe, and has never had a full head of hair in his entire life. Also, has never smiled.
Except for the pipe, I'm definitely my father's son. Which is why I've never had a happy day in my life.

I was one year old at the time, but will vouch that what you described is exactly what it was like in 1968 from my crib's eye view

Gabby Hayes would have worn it proudly

This describes about 80 percent of the sales I made while working at Borders Books & Music in 1997. Maybe replace Estefan with Sarah McLachlan.

He legit could play the town drunk in some 1930s western

You stumblebum!

That High and Dry record is pretty great, tbh.

My folks are pretty old (because I'm pretty old), but I've asked my mom if she ever listened to Elvis back then, and she had a bewildered look on her face.
Thing is, she likes some of that stuff now. Really likes Abba. I think it doesn't help that my dad makes Ward Cleaver look like Charles Manson.

New Kids on the Block

Wasn't so much that, just a lot of happy-clappy nonsense. I mean, people seemed to be enjoying themselves, so that's nice. But I'm hard pressed at this point to downgrade seeing McCartney because he isn't as "interesting" as three 27 year old dudes with ironic moustaches and maybe half a tune between them. I'm not

More life in a lot of these performers than a lot of the shit I sat through with the Coachella sets on youtube last night, tbh (and the best act I heard was Underworld, which is a couple of guys in their mid-50s). I mean, I wouldn't go, but I'd guess they know how to put on a better show than freakin' Elle Goulding

For a guy who worships Spielberg, a director who has always been able to tell a story (and if he couldn't he acknowledged it's failings), Abrams seems to have little to any understanding about just telling a story. He seems more concerned with "swerves", like he's doing pro wrestling or something. His sole takeaway

Stay woke!

Pretty clear that Chewbacca fucked Leia, got her pregnant, this Rey was given up for adoption and it was never mentioned again.
Read between the goddam lines once in awhile.

Fuck this

High-pitched whine isn't really "falsetto", tbh

Should've just gone with a Raven Symone biopic, instead.

"Still of the Night" is the better song, but I doubt Yorke could hit those high notes.
