Just for the record, I played both sides of that one. I'm not putting all my notes in one melody for this show.

Trower was never on topic.

If you can't take a travishamockery and turn it into rock and roll, then what good are yeh?

No. It just seemed weird. There were definitely TVs then.

If Richie and Corso had had a wood-chipper, they wouldn't be in this mess.

Ha! I knew someone would do the math.

Um…do you want to do the math on how long ago she did it, and how long ago the boss did it? Probably not. It's a "dammit I'm old" moment.

God dammit. I was wondering before I watched this episode how Zak was going to figure out Richie blew the money. I decided he never had to. Nobody had to. Then of course, this show fucks me. But at least Zak redeemed that.

Um, it's not the first. Richie's got a little showtime earlier in the season. For the Gyp Rosetti fans, of course.

On HBO, it's there for balance, or they'd gladly leave the wang under wraps and just run Porky's 8 times a day on 7 channels.

Every time I see her all I can think of is how that poor girl is Danish and keeps getting typecast as arch Germans.

Happy Days was just the TV version of American Graffiti, which was zeitgeist in 1973. Lucas wasn't inventing anything, either. Oldies were a thing. Maury was savvy.

George Lucas is nothing if not a derivative, nostalgia-whoring guy. Even Star Wars was just a reach-back to Flash Gordon and (the original) Buck Rogers. There's no way the 50s nostalgia wasn't already in play when he came up with American Graffiti.

Yyyyyyup. It was a transitional period. What's missing from this show, though, is the stifling sweaty odour of Southern Rock that permeated the period. Freebird was probably being recorded while Richie was explaining to Zak how he'd lost all their money to the hookers in Vegas.

We all saw things in 1975 that were sown in 1973. The records they're making on the show today won't be summer hits for another year.

Paying off the murder was always the plan. It was just a question of how. I think "Richie turns on Galasso" was choice number 4A.

It's not that she likes him. It's how much he likes her. He's going to get into a war with Kip over her.

"Sanger Center." AKA Planned Parenthood.

Not for nothing, but maybe she knows the difference between sleeping your way up the ladder and sleeping your way down it.

It took a couple of years for Sid and Nancy to get to the stabbing phase.
