"Brick by Brick". Great album. Now I'm going to surf YouTube to find that clip of Iggy and Kate singing "Candy" on "The Arsenio Hall Show."

Don't forget a re-staging of the 1992 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, with Elton John and Axl Rose lookalikes holding hands.

Cenac…and How to Get It (too obscure?)

Didn't Elvis Costello write a 1,000-page manifesto (disguised as an autobiography) last year that proved that he's the Kevin Bacon of the Rock World?

Last year, I was able to find the Dead Dog Records episodes on YouTube by using the search keywords "Tim Curry" and "Wiseguy". VHS quality clips, but better than nothing.

The fact that TMBG got airplay during the day, when they were still on an indie label, during the dire musical period of the mid-to-late '80s, is nothing short of a miracle.

The way MTV treated Don Letts…yikes:

"Wimpy, you should be killed to death. Phooey!" Rest in Peace.

When Linklater discussed this film on "WTF with Marc Maron, he mentioned that it's going to take place in 1980, and he chose that specific year b/c that's when all forms of culture (specifically music) were still active and intersected in a unique way, Indeed, some of the K-Tel compilation records that I've collected…

I remember a cranky music journalist calling "FS" as a ripoff of Blondie's "Call Me." Most likely referring only to the riff.

Was Lorne Michaels nice to you?

I loved the anecdote Nick Lowe told on WTF when he took Costello down a peg b/c he was bragging about hanging out with "Meet the Fockers"-era Robert De Niro.

If I recall rom the "FTaRH" DVD director/screenwriter commentary, due to his special relationship with Led Zep, Crowe was able to get permission to use their music, but with one catch: nothing off of Led Zeppelin IV. He settled for "Kashmir", and kept the scene as-is, to show how naive Rat is.

Glad I'm not the only one who had that word association in my head.

My Tower Records story: At one of the Seattle locations (close to the Seattle Center and EMP), me and this other person were heading towards the checkout counter at different directions at the same pace. The other person, who turned out to be Chris Cornell, let me go first. This was circa 1997, after Soundgarden…

Fleetwood Mac records "Rumours" - 1976
Intra-band breakups, tensions, and affairs, massive drug consumption, two journeyman Brits witnessing the nascent '70s California mellow-rock scene, Buckingham checking out the nascent punk movement and wondering what side of the fence he is on - there may not even be enough room…

Sounds about right. I need to get that book (I remember reading excerpts of it in "Premiere" magazine back in the day.)

I know (in hindsight) we weren't supposed to take the movie seriously, but the explanation for Danny Aiello being alive after driving off a cliff in "Hudson Hawk" really grinds my gears.

As I mellow with age, I'm just happy that a guy in his mid-'30s got to make a living as a musician, even though his success lasted less than a decade.

Whoa, I was just watching "Rewind This!" http://www.imdb.com/title/t… (streaming free for Evil Bezos Empire Prime members). He's not interviewed, but I'll bet some of his video boxes are!
