There's an ongoing debate on some message boards over who had a better voice: Steve Perry or Freddie Mercury. Which is insane to me since Freddie Mercury's voice was near-perfect as far as I'm concerned, while Steve Perry's voice makes me wish I was deaf.

I was going to say Boston, but, no, you're right.

If only it could be done retroactively. 40 years or so?

I said it up-thread, but it's really important that people know that every kid with a life-threatening illness gets a wish. They're an amazing organization to be able to do that. It used to be limited to terminal illnesses, but fortunately there are a lot of illnesses that just within the last couple decades went from…

Oh, well, maybe they are. I mean, when you work with Make-a-Wish, you're really just dealing with one or two people. It's very personal. One of them was who told us that story, but I can't see Make-a-Wish as an organization putting out a statement or anything if a celebrity does that. Maybe that would burn bridges, or…

I started reading this really excited to have some extra fuel for my Journey-hate, but the only original member apparently wants to break up the band over the other members being Trump supporters. I guess I generally root for all this.

I cut a lot of slack to celebrities that do that, even if they seem to make a big deal about doing it publicly since it's such a huge deal for the kids. I've heard of a few celebrities that don't make a public thing of it at all and actually donate a lot of their time to it. Those are the ones I have the utmost…

If it makes you feel better, a Make-a-Wish kid doesn't have to have a terminal illness, just a life-threatening one. So, kids with treatable forms of cancer do get a wish.

Oh man, I wish.

Mainly because I have no way of verifying it's true before putting something like that up on the internet. If it's not true or I don't know the whole story, it'd be a pretty fucked up controversy to drop on an org like MaW

My read on that was that they weren't just improvising, but improvising badly and doing it in ways that totally undermined the characters and scenes. I could be interpreting it wrong though.

Seriously. I'm assuming she wasn't the first pop star to do it, since I doubt they nixed all pop stars based on just one bad experience, but she was the only example they gave at the time.

My son got a Make-a-Wish. When they were going over the sort of people he could meet, famous musicians were specifically excluded. Turned out there's a certain pop-star who stood up a kid twice and they decided they didn't want to go through that again.

I feel like I spent a good chunk of the last part of the 90's arguing the difference between a "band" and a "group"
But, in any case, I don't think The Spice Girls crack the top 500 of either

It went from "Holy SHIT, there are new scenes in Star Wars! I can't believe how cool that is!" to "Wow, those new effects are aging worse than the original ones and the story's all fucked up now." in about 2 or 3 viewings

We must be close to the same age. I remember 1997 as being right around the time the local punk scene degenerated into ridiculousness with shitty ska and even shittier pop-punk. In fact, I can pinpoint it to a moment when I was at what was billed as a punk show where I was looking at what a few months earlier would…

Can we get a couple Jenners on there too???

Only as long as there's at least one Kardashian in the shirt design!

I'd see an improvised WWII drama if it starred Catherine O'Hara and Fred Willard

Angelica Huston?
