I thought she was referring to Martha Raye.
I know it makes no particular sense, but I would appreciate some meaningless approval from people I will never meet, and may, in fact, quietly loathe.

Grassy Knowles is Beyoncé's cousin

This does help assuage my daily ritual of cursing my failings in life, I will admit.

This new Twin Peaks could definitely use some Martin Mull

It will air on the Golf Channel every other Wednesday for 4 months, and go on to be nominated for 17 Emmys, even though eleven people have seen it.

That's fair. It's been ages since I've listened to the whole album.

Belushi is playing beloved former first baseman Kent Hrbek

I believe her reputation is pretty toxic with a lot of people, and that may well include Lynch. I can't absolutely vouch for this, but it seems like it's something I've read over the years.

I always thought of it as one. Not like "Soapdish" parody, or something. But I certainly felt it was meant to be a take on "melodrama".

Yeah, there is one in Boulder, too. I go in once in a while. I think the music section is like two shelves of Norah Jones, and a small vinyl collection which has "Kind of Blue" and some Styx albums.

He had a particularly horrible blues band in the 90s, as was the style at the time. I was working at Borders when one of his albums came in, and we all just pointed and laughed.
Of course, Borders is long out of business. So, game, set, match, Mr. Belushi.

"Black Album" is probably lost to the ages, aside from people who had the copy when it finally came out over 20 years ago.

It was a weird step for Prince to take; the expectations for it were something along the lines of "another Purple Rain", and instead he made a film that was clearly a nod to some 1940s era. It's better than "Graffiti Bridge", I'll say that.
"Parade" is actually a great album, though.

Yeah, I know. I mean, X were about as "trad" in many ways as a band could be. They just happened to play a bit faster, is all. I enjoy them quite a bit, but if any punk band was designed to "break out", it was X. They were really kind of conservative, in many ways; a reaction to musical advances, not any way of…

I've always figured that, had I been a teen in '67, I would have been *way* into the Doors, at least for awhile. I absolutely understand the appeal, and think the critical dismissal now is pretty dumb. Were there diminishing returns? Of course. Morrison was a lout, but he was quite beautiful, and had a great voice…

I hope he has "Panic Zone" as his answering machine music

Sure. I never had a "Doors' period in my life, I'm old so heard them on rock radio a lot (well after they'd already split), and never felt the need to own any of the records. But I could, and do, appreciate them for a certain vibe they gave off, if even for a moment or two. The music was fairly dark for it's time,…

Yep to all of that. I get that people over the last number of years have decided the Doors were a shit band with a buffoon for a lead singer, but it's dismissive of the context. The Doors were huge, for a time, I'd guess the biggest band out of LA in that key period, so they obviously are going to represent something…

I don't think it's blowing too many minds to suggest that X were a product of their influences. I mean, Manzerek produced their best record.
Simon Reynolds did a decent job touching on Cleveland/Akron in "Rip it Up and Start Again", although I would like to read a bit more.

I liked the Lords well enough, but I think they were always thought of as kind of a joke (although Stiv Bators did date Martha Quinn for awhile!).
