Also the way she said "shrub"

Fox News commentators HATE this one weird trick!

I was so bummed out when I found out that Stan Mikita's doughnuts did not exist. Damn you, Mike Meyers!

The weird thing about Reagan, there was Iran -Contra, but his only war was Grenada-keeping the world safe for medical students that couldn't make it into universities here. Democrats have to look tough, and drones have few casualties on our side and keep a lot of people employed. Is it bad? Definitely yes. My friend

That's the one! I remember this from daytime movie TV from the '70s in LA.

Ya, Terry-Thomas is also great in the Mouse that Roared. I'll have to see that one again.

For me, has to be watching Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip in a theater in San Bernardino in the '80s. It was on Highland near Del Rosa IIRC, which if you've ever been to the IE… Easily the most laughter I've ever seen or heard in any theater, before or since - and by seen, I mean literally doubled over. It was

Why you almost get the idea he hides behind manufactured characters!

Hey, we're embarrassed about drones and Trump too. It kind of reminds me of when I went to Europe in '86. "No, I can't really tell you why Reagan was elected…twice."

Florida…the farther North you go, the farther South it gets.

That song on the sound check is good, I think it's called Diggin' the Boogie. BTW if you want to read a great book about artists of his time, read Honkers and Shouters by Arnold Shaw. It also doesn't sugar coat how much all of them, and I mean all of them, got screwed. If you can't get it at the library, just buy it!

one of those sound checks turned me on to Piano Red, 70 years after it was played. I've been listening to him a lot lately. Good stuff!

Yeah, those sound checks on YouTube are great! He'd play anything, but was partial to honkers and shouters.

It's been a while since I've seen this too, but I always thought the Yamagita scene isn't really where she sees how great her life is (which I can see that too). It's more where she sees what liars people can be, especially where she finds out afterwards how blatant that Yamagita was making stuff up. For a cop, she

Kiss were Knights in Satan's Service!

Memphis is an interesting place and a lot of people traveling through. Good music is good music, be it Big Boy Crudup or Bill Monroe. When you steal, steal from the best.

The best way to do him justice is to visit Graceland, which is something I wasn't going to do when I went to Memphis, but I'm so glad I did now. Start with the classy living room and surveillance cameras, end with the family plot, literally, because that's the last thing you see on the tour, including a marker for his

I liked this, because I know what you mean, but still, if somebody asks me I'll tell them, or if we're at a bar and I order a Coke or something, but otherwise, no. I usually make a joke that I stole from Conan when he had that Clutch Cargo mouth thing, with Geoge W. Bush: "I realized that drinking was a problem in my

Did he wear a Stryper t-shirt and ask "hey can I hang out with you guys"? Because he sounds like Stewart from Beavis and Butthead.

No, he would have said "morally straight", which is….oh crap. Do they still say that?
