Re: this "Hear This", I'll quote Greil Marcus: "What is this shit?"

One of my earliest television memories were of a show called T.H.E. Cat. For a long time I thought that perhaps I imagined it, because I was only about 4 or 5 when I saw it, I never saw it in reruns or heard any kind of reference to it. Maybe two years ago I see episodes on Youtube and find out that it's star is a…

I remember ads for Comics Only, though I never watched it. The two shows that really got me watching Comedy Central were MST3K and Night After Night With Allan Havey.

The first time saw him was in A Soldier's Story. Before that, I had heard of him because he'd been nominated for a Tony in a musical about Jackie Robinson.

Good, I loved Ben and Kate. But I'm sure Dakota's tied up for the time being….

Here's the excerpt from that Rolling Stone article from 1986: ''Left of the Dial'' [from Tim] is the story of this girl, a
guitar player, Lynn Blakey, who toured with Mitch Easter's Let's Active.
We got to be friends. She wanted me to write her a letter, but I never
write letters. I figured the only way I'd hear her…

Gone is my favorite song on this album, followed by Late. Gone is also my favorite Kanye song using an Otis Redding sample.

Well, Lee Marvin wasn't afraid of getting sued……

Well, it has a beat and you can't dance to it.

Glad that he was asked about The Animal Speaks. I was a big Golden Palominos fan in the 80's and that was one of my favorite tracks.

He was quite good in that, but it was a supporting role.

Yeah, I had to learn that "return to sender" trick. I remember calling Columbia House because they wanted to bill me for a Natalie Merchant CD.

I loved the Columbia House and BMG clubs. It was a great way to not only get single CDs at a low price but also box sets. It was a good way to sample new bands or older artists that I was learning about. To add to it's appeal was that I would take any of those CDs that I didn't want to keep and sell them to the used…

Ain't no thing.

I first saw this movie on the local PBS station when I was in high school back in the late 70's. In college, whilst majoring in political science, I watched it again with a bit more background. Outstanding, well paced movie. And the final minutes of the movie, with the reporters epilogue, is an appropriate gut punch.

"Hey kid. What did the five fingers say to the face"?

Sgt. Pepper was certainly the most significant album ever but Revolver is the best imo. But I love, love, love, Forever Changes.

When I heard that Sabol was being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011, I thought that I'd misheard and that it was his son Steve who was going in. Surely Ed Sabol, had already been in for years. And when I found I was wrong, I thought, WTF?!? The primary reason that the game garnered such mainstream appeal was…

Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones and Buffalo Springfield's Mr. Soul.
