I've posted this before on the AV Club, but damn if early SNL didn't inform and influence my musical tastes. During that time in the 70's I would end up sleeping over at my grandma's house on Saturday nights fairly often. She would of course indulge me and let me stay up late to watch SNL. I can still remember seeing…

A song he actually wrote for Adrian Belew.

There's no way in hell I could watch this right now without curling up under my desk for the rest of the day.

Life on Mars can make me well up on a normal, regular day. It's going to be a while before I can listen to that song again without losing it.

Monday mornings suck enough without this sad news. There aren't a lot of artists that could make me tear up with their passing, Bowie is definitely one of those artists. Sad, sad, day.

I want a business card with the title "recovering cocaine addict Krautrock appropriator" on it.

The Stars are out Tonight stands tall with classic Bowie tunes, but there were a few clunker tracks on the album.

The Name of this Band is Talking Heads > Stop Making Sense. I was absolutely in love with Stop Making Sense when it came out, but I now find it very sterile-sounding…to clean and cold.

So a fictional sit-com character is a "fascist" and those camo-covered, assault-rifle toting welfare queens in Oregon are "freedom fighters." Yeeaaaaahhh…

Agreed and agreed! It would completely derail the momentum.

You confirmed my suspicions. I was so stoked when I saw this was going to be a miniseries, and then immediately thought about how the novel would get compromised. I'll record the show, watch the first episode and see how I feel about things. Why do I get the feeling I might be deleting everything within 45 minutes?

I'll hit you up for legal consul when I become a vigilante.

That's the way I feel about We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Bring that damn figgy pudding already, will ya?

I'll raise you a Maroon 5.

Borg ship vs. Death Star?

That's what prompted me to switch over to the BBC.

Get out!

Another movie that HBO showed non-stop back in the day. And though I never really loved it, it had a strange allure and I wound up watching it all the time.

I once won a panda from Bowie.

Look out for the kitchen table, David Bowie!
