That cracked me up. I guess I don't have what it takes to use drugs save alcohol.

I always wondered if anyone like me who suffers from chronic hay fever tried cocaine. The thought of putting anything up my nose repulses me.

This movie is how I picture hell. With Auburn football on all day long.

Male fandom is a bad thing? Does that mean I have to give up rooting for the Blackhawks?

What the fuck? The list starts with a great album. And then includes among others:
Pearl Jam, No Code.
The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
U2, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb
Wilco, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Steve Miller Band, The Joker
James Taylor, Greatest Hits
U2, Songs of Innocence

Good lord, Breaking Away is 39 years old? I must have seen it a 100 times because Dad became obsessed by it because he was into cycling.

Who would be so stupid to use a product like this? Its the same thing when the whole snorting bath salts became public. Who are these fucking morons?

I bought last month his Kickin' Child album, a "lost" album from 1965 that finally saw the light day from Norton records. I thought it kicked ass. I always thought that he and Johnny Rivers are the two most underrated artists from the 1960s. Along of course with John Mayall.

Who are these people?

Eat shit Bob.

I could do the Glenside, PA show. I thought of taking my daughter to expose to the glory that is MT3K.

"Groan-worthy professor-dad humor." As a middle aged father and professor of history, I kinda take exception to this. I prefer the term sophisticated. And I cannot see any connection between the two books other then the AV Club is too lazy to do separate reviews.

I remember an interview I had at Montana Tech up in Butte, and one of the sights my host insisted I see was the great Berkeley pit which maybe one of the most polluted places not in the former Soviet Union or China. That probably is the extreme of strip mining.
Ironically, would have taken that job in a heartbeat.…

My grandfather (still the greatest man I ever knew), left high school in the Depression to work in the coal mines of Central Illinois to help support his large family (we're Catholic after all). He was able to escape that in two years with a job with the CCC in Wisconsin. But those two years (and to be fair, a pack a…

Alex Jones is more parasitic then the alien that burst out of John Hurd's chest in Alien.
Yet, the dirty secret is that American politics have always been full of nutjobs on the fringe. Father Charles Coughlin in the 1930s sprouted antisemitic, anti-Wall Street rants to millions of the radio. Joseph McCarthy bullied…

Jesus. First I am sorry for his family's loss. But Flounder was 62? God, I am getting old.

8 Seconds is a damn good rodeo movie, a very underrated genre (I am excited Junior Bonner is finally coming to Blu Ray).

Whatever the hell happened to just going on tour and fucking groupies? I literally don't understand the millennial generation.

I am late to this as I just saw this post. But its been a subject I have been thinking a lot about because my newest research project involves the Nixon years. Its easy to compare Trump to Nixon. But its far too simplistic in my opinion. Nixon is an American tragedy. He had the elements of greatness in him. As a young…

I have owned this album on cassette, 2 different vinyl copies, CD, SACD and now on Blu Ray audio. Sometimes, you need to unwind to some good jam music.
