Just mindless, adolescent dick-swatting on blues music, each member competing to see who can make the loudest, most pointless 'look at me' musical gesture (Plant acrobatically shrieking or absentmindedly cooing on the ballads; Page's endless, directionless solos; Bonham's Neanderthal anvil-like tone -whatever the time…

Dinklage may be the greatest actor alive based on that dungeon monologue alone.

Oh, powerful, powerful black actor. Often felt like watching a great theater company when he let loose.

Yeah, Carl, who had Cancer. Never thought about that.

Nope, apparently he blabbed to TV Guide in an interview about backstage fighting and they canned him for it (it was actually the woman who played Florida that complained that Walker was getting too much screen time, and detracting from the family message of the show, and she quit for a season before they begged her…

How about an article about characters killed off in a series because the actors playing them were fired (i.e. John Amos on Good Times being killed in a car accident before a big family move, prompting Florida's immortal 'Damn, damn, damn!", or the actress who played Will Smith's mother on Fresh Prince being replaced…

RO had point, though; the show is remarkably dull, with the usual redemptive 'weird' ending tagged on the end of each episode that's supposed to wow us into critical submission.

Trade Tupac for Scott Weiland and Lawrence for the singer of Sugar Ray and that's about right.

Kiko their masterpiece album. Get it immediately.

Phillips has a successful career on Broadway, Denzel movies and the current A & E show Longmire. Must have been your mistake.

Sure, it was fun for white people like my parents who loved the original song as teenagers (and was an early influence on artists like Mick Jagger, as evidenced by some of his earliest home recordings), but its biggest impact was on the down-and-out…

Agree with the second description, at least.

Timing aside, Zep were shameless thieves from countless blues and folks artists (with the usual 'they made us hear songs we never would have heard' defense from desperate fans) Check out the four-part "Led Zeppelin Plagiarism" post on youtube. Mind-blowing.

After the part set in Iran it turns into a fairly banal 'first zits, first kiss' coming-of-age story. Being from an oppressed country carries a lot of miles in the comics world, but I'd take a dozen lazy Daniel Clowes graphic novels than have to sit through Persepolis again.
