This sounds like it was fantastic. I wish I had been there. I remember exactly where I was when I saw the Thriller video for the first time. My friends and I were in a club, the DJ stopped playing, everyone stopped dancing, and they brought up the lights. Several TVs mounted around the room were turned on to MTV and

nope - he just fudged the timetables so it looked like they where running on time. Hydra probably did the same. 

So, he couldn’t even do that? Damn!

FUN FACT: THE TRAINS DID NOT ACTUALLY RUN ON TIME.

Well, at least Mussolini got the trains to run on time, right?

You’re right, Craig. I can’t see God. Why hadn’t I ever noticed that? You’ve opened my eyes, Craig. It’s all a silly fairy tale, and I’d have never noticed unless you hadn’t loudly mocked my entire religion in front of everyone in this Denny’s, Craig. 

I’ll parse this by saying that I’ve been in live music production for over a decade, and that i’ve been in the performing arts for closer to 20 years. I have some sympathy for the early years of Lauryn Hill’s career, because no one tells you how to navigate this business, especially the live production end of it.

Also, music videos. In the late 80's through the 90's music video debuts were AN EVENT. 

Well, we know it wasn’t Jeri Curl. Even with that extra activator, Cookiehead still pulled off that headspin. 

What I get from that nonsense Lauryn Hill wrote is that, as usual, she can dish it out but she can’t take it, and she seems incapable of accepting responsibility for her own shit.

Attended a show she was headlining 2yrs ago at Radio City and if it was not for Common and some of the acts that preceded her it would have been a complete waste of an evening. I still think Miseducation was a classic album and really dug her Fugee’s stuff but she definitely needs some help whether it be

She doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. She has stiffed artists for years , and unless each and every single one is a bald face liar, I think I’ll believe the less famous artists who actually have a lot to lose. She abuses her position, one she did earn but damn was it long ago, with her bands, people who need

First, I think it would have been dope if she had spent the time writing new music instead of Medium posts, but its her life. Her fans have been riding for her for 20 years on the strength of ONE full studio album - she has made her entire living touring off that one project. Quite an accomplishment. Arriving late to

There is no universe that exists where Ms. Hill equals Prince. She has ONE (that would singular) full studio album. That is ONE album in 20 years. Prince put out like 50-11 albums in his career - Miseducation came out in 1998 - how many albums did Prince release since then? So even if Prince was to make people wait,

One hit album doesn’t entitle you to have airs forever. She has made and released one album and that 20 years ago, the shoddy way she treats her paying audience, they keep turning up even though they aren’t sure that she will. He should have addressed her privately but she is a mess, whether we want to admit it or

Ms. Hill. C’mon now. Your audience is telling you they are being CHEATED when they pay the ticket prices for the shows you can’t seem to make ON TIME, and that you can’t seem stretch longer than an hour. If you really need that much practice before each show, and are habitually late, DON’T. TOUR. Be a studio artist

You may be able to make suggestions, but you can’t write FOR me. I am the architect of my creative expression. No decisions are made without me. I hire master builders and masterful artisans and technicians who play beautifully, lend their technical expertise, and who translate the language that I provide into

Seems like a silly generalization to me. Pretty much all my friends have seen all the MCU movies, and we’re a bunch of college-educated bleeding heart liberals. Half of them are professors with PhDs, like my wife and all of her friends at the university. Just because you like some high-falutin’ Art doesn’t mean you

You think all of the people going to see superhero movies are “Trumpers”? That’s full-on stupidity. They are massively popular movies seen by literally millions of people at both ends of the political spectrum (and all points in between).

And how about some love for John Mahoney as the Faulkneresque screenplay writer?
