What part of Redlands did you grow up in?

I was just reading Dance of Death, a biography of John Fahey. He mentions the Family showing up at Takoma records. John was the only one who declined, and also the only one who didn't get the clap.

The Tubes' Now was the one that did it for me.

I just thought it was weird that he doesn't like this "the world owes them a living" type of thinking, and he was there to plug something his son was doing. So getting mad about specialness, while giving his son a leg up. Which is fine, and he should, but…it just seemed hypocritical, in a way.

Changeling! Why has nobody mentioned this yet? Based on a true story, with the LAPD being unable to find a woman's child (he'd been murdered), and then trying to pawn off some kid who needed a home as the son. Telling the mom he was her son, and then, when the mom said he wasn't, trying to have her committed. Did I…

In this case, I'll go with what Chief said in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest (the book): It's the truth, even if it didn't happen.

Came here to say the same thing, I can identify with those lyrics. Or did, as I've been on the wagon for a while now.

It was lasagna poisoning.

Clerks 2 was like a new album by a group I really liked. You listen to it a few times, trying to like it, because you liked their other stuff, and finally you just lose interest. Hard to get that kind of fan back.

Maybe he'll start to use one of the lesser Baldwins as a stock character, like Eddie and Bela

Do some acting?

Leo Bloom: Let's assume, just for the moment, that you are a dishonest man.
Max Bialystock: Assume away.

I'm going with Zero Mostel, although Gene was great in The Producers too, just for that line "You have exactly ten seconds to change that look of disgusting pity into one of enormous respect!"

I was waiting for this. Don't go changing, AV club.

Jonathan and Linda?

As W.C. Fields said, "Drowned in a vat of beer. Death, where is thy sting?"

I'm reading this picturing a mouth full of meat and bread, and the food spraying all over the place, while doing a fist bump.

Pho 54 on Alum Rock is my fave. I'm more of a crispy brisket and rare steak guy though.

Baby's in Black is such a psycho song. The woman's beau just died, and the singer is getting mad because she's in mourning, instead of doing the do with him.

And a distracting cameo of Michael Richards slicing meat at a deli.
