Thanks! I hadn't read this in years, and thought Sid was with his lawyer when this happened.

I remember reading John Waters' account of attending one of Sid's courtroom dates for Spungen's murder. After it was over, he and a friend hailed a cab in front of the courthouse, as Sid and his attorney were walking towards them, with Sid looking like grim death. Waters motioned for them to take the cab, and they…

I'd like to see an adaptation of the book, "Hellhound On His Trail" which was about the assassination of Martin Luther King, and the international manhunt for James Earl Ray.

That's my favorite "Style Parody" song of Weird Al's, as he's described it as his take on Elvis Costello.

Sexual Chocolate would like to have a discussion with you.

I read their comments section once, with several snowflakes being too stupid to know that Merrill Markoe was not a "dude." I can say that they don't like being corrected, not one bit.

Fun with trivia. I read when Joe Piscopo finally met Frank Sinatra, he asked if he could call him Frank. Sinatra replied, "No."

In late 1991, the Democratic National Committee announced that it was going to support either Bill Clinton or Jay Rockefeller's Presidential run in 1992. Savvy politician that he was, Rockefeller decided not to run against George Bush, as Bush's poll ratings were sky high, and Jay figured that he could not be beaten.…

Liotta was OK as Frank, but Montegna and Cheadle absolutely nailed their roles of Dean Martin and Sammy Davis,Jr.

As Johnny Carson once said, "I did not know that!" I did find it funny when I read it, though.

I remember reading a post on a dead pool website where one poster wanted to have their body spring loaded in their casket, and covered in confetti so that, "A thousand or so years from now, an archeologist will have a day they'll never forget."

NBC would have weaseled out of that deal the second Jay's 30 minute show went up in the ratings, and if Conan's 30 minute show's ratings stayed the same or dropped. It was similar to the deal they offered David Letterman at the last minute to keep him from leaving NBC for CBS. If Jay's ratings had continued to drop,…

I like Paul, as he seems like a nice guy,is an incredibly talented musician, and was at the nexus of both Saturday Night Live, and David Letterman's Late Show and Late Night. I'd put him in the comedy hall of fame just for his impression of Cher singing "Oh, Holy Night."

I hope when they play live, they aren't pelted with rocks and garbage.

Chevy Chase played keyboards in an early incarnation of the band at Bard College. I guess the standards became more rigorous after that.

In my obituary, I'm leaning towards, "He's Off To Take The Big Dirt Nap," "He Checked Out On…," or as a nod to Warren Zevon, "His Ride's Here."

Nope, nope, nope. I assure you, Mr. Cheeto and every Republican on the planet would have ended every anti Bernie rant with the suffix "ist." As in Communist, Marxist, Leninist, Atheist, and just enough alt-right Anti Semitism to prove to the "real 'murican's" that Bernie was Satan's cabana boy.

I still say Brian Cox should have been Hannibal Lecter instead of Anthony Hopkins, simply because of his "telephone bit" in the cell. We always heard how much a genius Hopkins' Lecter was, but Cox showed us his cunning in action.

These days, he's best known as Larry David's Dad in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" but back in the day, he was in the vanguard of late 50's/ early 60's comedians such as Mort Sahl and Bob Newhart.
