Pretty much the only line I can remember from any Pink Panther movie

Its not as bad as the Count Alucard from the Son of Dracula movie.

I can remember seeing him on SNL back in 1982 performing trouble so wired up on coke he was literally vibrating on stage. It used to be a in-joke in one of the bands I was in to count off “a-one-a, a-two-a, a-three-a, a-four....”

Buddy Cole is the reason in my household that the word “Canadian” is still pronounced Ca-NAY-dian.

Geoffrey Hughes, of Keeping up Appearances fame was the voice of Paul McCartney. Yes, this is one of the weird facts I keep in my head and that constantly push out the necessary facts, like where did I put my glasses last. 

One of my favorite quotes about touring through the US was by Beck at his show in Santa Cruz. “You can tell alot about a town by the mannequins in its windows. And you folks have some really weird ass mannequins”.

Your recommended for further listening list pretty much nails what I was listening to that year. I distinctly remember listening to “Queen Elvis” on cassette while cleaning up our little apartment in Santa Cruz after the Loma Prieta earthquake (we were lucky: only minimal damage to our place). And my obsession with…

It seems to be the part for which they bring in the “odd ball” singer. Wasn’t there a touring company that had John Lydon aka “Johnny Rotten” playing Herod?

Went out to lunch at a local brew pub with my son and then hit the record store. I finally gave in and bought the re-issue of OK Computer. So glad I did; this is like hearing the album for the first time ever, all over again. Also purchased a replacement copy of Raw Power and Lou Reed’s Berlin. It’s going to be a…

I’m going to concur here. Even as a child, Rathbone’s Holmes annoyed me. Jeremy Brett nailed the character. And the portrayal of Dr. Watson was more aligned with the original stories.

I always seem to be behind on Netflix series, in particular Stranger Things. While everyone was deep into the second season, I barely cracked the first. My problem is that my weekends are pretty full and I really need to take more “sick days’ and do some binge watching of series.

On the child non-stop talking—this was my daughter. She was also (and still is) a morning person while her mother was/is not. Her car chatter got so bad at one point, we offered her a quarter for every 5 minutes she could keep quiet. (Ok, so I wasn’t going to win mother of the year when she was 8).

Flats are used quite a bit by bass players and are pretty much essential on a fretless. I concur on Thomasik, but damn they are really expensive.  

Benchley’s book is just a step above pulp fiction and drags miserably in spots. I remember reading it in the 5th grade and my mom’s friend appalled that she let me read it. My mom’s reaction was “How is she going to know the difference between good and bad literature, if she doesn’t read the bad as well?”. Mom was…

I would argue that Israelites is more ska than reggae, to put a fine point on it.

The listing of the chart hits make me realize how much I was glued to a AM radio at 8 years of age; I can probably ( and in some cases, unfortunately) sing all the lyrics all of those songs.

Yes! At the Crepe place.

Went to see the Regrettes at an extremely small venue. All I can say is there may be hope for music afterall. The show was great.

This was my reaction. Big build up and then oh yeah, Oprah. Woo hoo.

I would vote for Shapeshifter, but a close second would to be able to wield a bowling ball with the skull of my dead father to vanquish enemies:
