Wasn’t it 2015 when he came down the escalator at Trump Tower to announce his candidacy? Or is he talking about another Simpsons-predicted moment of self aggrandizing stupidity?

Honestly...without having seen a photo of him, and only knowing his name as someone from TV(?) from the 70s, I just assumed it was Grizzly Adams.

I see no problem with permanently squashing the media propagation of the Casting Couch as a necessary evil we accept by default.

Disco Stu, or Gil.

Yeah, I was mostly just being dumb. And it truly is a shame.

On the plus side, these masters we’re unable to recover have been gone for 11 years and we only just now noticed, so...

Oh man,…

Never noticed it before but...President Jon Voight?

I’ve just been assuming we’re in a 2-year old version of The SIMS that a 13 bored year old boy is trying to extend the lifetime of...

I am not talking about pays per stream/listen. I am talking about music licensing for use in television, film, and commercials. 

I am curious how individual artist payments have changed. “The industry” generally refers to the big companies. But I’d think that with more media outlets in which to license music, composers (ie, the musicians) are probably getting more money now than 30 years ago. Which is how it should be. 

He...uh...knows what happened to Prometheus, right?

Oh man, I spent a week in Japan a few years ago and just the still from the video made me scream “COFFEE BOSS!!”
