The Two of Us!

It's the ultimate punk solo. Pick any live version and it works.

Too bad they were a club band and really stunk in arena venues. I saw them in Toronto after the third album was released and couldn't help but empathize with the guy in the trolley on the way out from Exhibition Stadium saying that they should have just burned the tickets.

Not an asshole answer at all, it's excellent. The guitar solos on "The Big Swifty" as well as "Zombie Woof" (or Wolf?) on the first posthumous double CD collection (You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore) are worthwhile of praise. I'm also a fan of any version of Black (sometimes Pink) Napkins.

Even better: the outro solo on "Tonight". Since it fades out (booo!!), you have to crank it up as the song recedes, and then slam down the volume as the next tune starts at normal loud, but it's surely worth the effort.

If you never heard his hard-to-find solo album, run don't walk to the nearest outlet and get. "Deafinitely" and a few other tunes put a lot of his Floyd work to shame.

lol if you're that thin-skinned while commenting on comedy you're probably better off in a different genre or field of work.

lol @deleting my reply. Thin-skinned much?

Years ago—before Obama got elected in 2008—in a side interview Colbert interviewed some female author who wrote "The End of Blackness", and her main issue was that Obama was—and I quote—"an African African-American [while most black people are] American African-American". Colbert was able to make her head spin 720…

"A fair amount"? Lukewarm praise indeed.

(laughing my ass off til I pee in my pants)

Lackluster? I guess you missed Brian Williams doing Rapper's Delight, or the evolution of hip-hop dancing.

+1 and lmaotipimp

Sadly, "Why We Fight" is the most ahistorical episode of Band of Brothers, an otherwise excellent miniseries. It can be safely excised from a binge-watching of the production.

What about Fox' foray into the genre with Studs?

This thesis just sucked many many minutes from my soul, time wasted.

re: Golden Standard: what you said.

Good catch. For about 4-5 months at the turn of the century I liked Kilborn(e?), but it was clear his monologue would never grow and, while I thought he was a better interviewer than his competition, I understood why he had to be let go.

Look, Leno's monologues were chock-full of jokes—many of them lame—but almost always the last one was a keeper. I'm no big fan, and haven't watched him since the end of his first run, but he was better than Letterman shortly after they went head-to-head in 1992—just a bit—and the ratings reflected that.

It's a great show. The casting makes it so.
