When I bought a used copy of Kick at a Hastings, it came with a copy of Listen Like Thieves in the case.  And, there was no sticker or label on the cover that said I was getting 2 CDs.  It was such a pleasant surprise.  

1. INXS were a major BAND, and well respected, with an iconic, talented front-man.

You could argue INXS was the Maroon 5 of its era—a massively popular act that few appeared eager to defend or even admit to liking outside of a few catchy singles. (It’s not exactly surprising to learn that Maroon 5 cites the group as an influence.)

Fantastic band and all of these songs are great. “This Time” and “What You Need” are two of the best rock and roll songs ever. They should absolutely be in a Hall of Fame if not in Jan Wenner’s private club house.

Glad two songs from “Welcome to Wherever You Are” are here. That, to me, is a vastly underrated album, and ofen left off of “Best of the ‘90s” considerations. I can remember a review of it back-handedly complimented it as “Achtung Maybe,” but I do think it stands (admittedly off to the side ...) of U2's best ‘90s…

This is a very long post, but I have a funny story about the making of this movie that has to do with Susan Sarandon and another big movie star:

and Ron Glass was the TV repairman! (well, his apprentice)

“another Marvel project, yawn, they’re all the same anyways - I don’t see why anyone likes them anymore. They don’t do anything creative and the directors don’t matter, it’s all just Marvel-house style anyway.”

Im sure they'll be devastated. 

The only thing Orangefinger ever drained was fools’ pockets.

Honestly if the worst we get is old man tries to me hip and cool with bland likable music, then I'm fine with it.  I say this as a big Steely Dan fan.

Too bad it only took until 12 days left of his lame duck presidency for social media to finally grow a backbone, or at least the semblance of one. 

Hello there, toxic masculinity.

Lil Wayne ~ “Pardon?”

Fucking hell do I miss Alan Rickman.

Hahaa! Really loving this take.

Fun-fact, around the time of the third or fourth film, my wife attended a party, which she knew would include Rickman. The kids begged her for autographs, so she took along a couple of photos of him as Snape, and shyly presented them to him.

This. Depp was always a party kid but I really feel like hanging out with HST was just about the worst possible decision that he could have made. Thompson, frankly, skated by on a ton of remarkably shitty behavior mostly by dint of mostly doing it with and to a small circle of people who seemed determined to put up…

Depp’s flame-out has been so wildly chaotic, they’ll have to get Nicholas Cage to play him in his biopic.

This movie is number 2 on my list of shit I'm completely fucking sick of hearing about, right behind Donald Trump's month long temper tantrum over being a loser.
