A couple of days ago, I was watching Mr. Ed—and a commercial for a local pot store (yes I live in Washington State popped up). Never knew the Venn diagram of Mr. Ed fans and stoners overlapped.

Oh absolutely. Check out the episode "Do You Trust Your Daughter" from season three; Dad thinks Patty is lying, she's mad at him when he finds out she was telling the truth, Dad plays her favorite song as a kid, Patty breaks down crying and tells him how she loves him. It's one of the most powerful things you'll…

Oddly enough, the only time I eat breakfast at Jack in the Box is after 7pm.

You ever heard of King Crimson?

It came out the year after Gorbachev took over, and by 1987 pop culture was already in full "the Russians are just like us, but different" mode by then. So this was culturally outdated even when it came out.

Yep the one where one character wore those aviator goggles all the time (why?) and the fat Dickensian looking guy with huge eyebrows.

Well the "Ken Boothe UK pop reggae" is definately a slam (Boothe topped the charts in England with a Bread cover, enough said) and you could also include the mention of the Four Tops.

The "losers" who didn't have much money. Two CDs cost as much as three tapes.

Tube: The Invention of Television by David Fisher. It'll fascinate you how many false starts were needed to creative, and how no-holds-barred the fights to create electronic TV and color were. Nobody could write characters like John Logie Baird or Philo Farnsworth, and it's begging to be made into a miniseries.
Same…

Read an interview with Brooks and Marsh that pointed out
—in the cable era, just picking shows to list was a major task (and now with Netflix and TiVo, the very idea of "prime time" is dying)
—basically they're the whole research staff, and they can't find anyone else to take over the project.

Weirdest thing about this song is that it never made the top 40—for that matter neither did other era defining songs "Once In a Lifetime" or "I Melt With You". "How Soon is Now" for that matter didn't even chart.

He's also a multimillionare industrialist, member of the Swiss golf team, and conceptual artist.

Gotta take issue with the "traditionally 100 episodes made syndication" idea. Before the late 70s, shows almost always waited to their cancellation to be syndied. They though back then airing reruns would kill viewings of the original show..and then MASH actually revived its ratings in the final season due to reruns.

Lucille Ball laughs at your notion that people won't see the same show again and again.

Which were Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley. Staley changed the name from Diamond Lie to Alice N Chainz after an old band of his; so I can see both viewpoints.

Actually Alice in Chains started as a glam band:

To be fair, every major award (Emmy, Grammy, Tony etc,) has gender seperate categories for performers. Asking a award ceremony to chop the number of awards they give in half isn't happening.

Back in college (mid 90s), it seemed everyone showed off that track. In case you haven't heard this weird concoction:

Even better, they sold the double lp at single lp prices, and gave up royalties in the process.

Fun facts..
—Cher, not Ann Reinking, was the original choice but she was making a movie at the time
—When the Oscar producer turned down Collins to sing the song in a letter, he referred to him as "Phil Collen"
