Well put, Mr. Snake.

"I think the line is at the death of Cliff Burton."

Yeah, it is a fun cover, actually.

That album, Resigned [57 Records-1997], is well-worth revisiting. Probably the best thing Sean's older brother has ever done.

He believed in helping poor people. That's why.

Only Dylan and Woody know what truly happened. But his non-conviction and having been permitted to subsequently adopt 2 children certainly bolsters his side of the story.

Close enough and lame enough to be confused with the real thing.

Didn't Charlie Daniels perform at President Carter's inauguration?

The In Memoriam section had as much sensitivity as a used car auction. Kirk Hammett was the one wearing the Lou Reed t-shirt.

Or how about on The Queen Latifah Show, fer chrissakes? If she wants to marry 50 couples on her show with Macklemore as the wedding singer, then yay.

Ha!

I hear ya.
And maybe it's revisionism, but I only knew of Gus as a low-rent, bullshit movie that Crane was lucky to get. That's how it was portrayed in articles I've read about him. Hence my surprise at the rest of the cast.

Not cool but why is anyone surprised? Also, booking 2 full performances for the finale of a show that runs notoriously late is tempting fate. Nah, it's giving fate the finger.

Bob Crane's career was in the toilet, but why were Ed Asner, Don Knotts, Tim Conway, Dick Van Patten, Tom Bosley, Dick Enberg, and Johnny Unitas in Gus?

I'm not a fan but TONS of folks STILL dig Sinatra. Hell, Michael Bublé has made a lucrative career of being a Sinatra wannabe, so…

Yeah, but imagine if the Emmys had dissed I Love Lucy back in the day and in the last 20 years decided to make it up to that show and those of its level that they failed to properly recognize. There are musical giants who NEVER won a Grammy, and so that's what those Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awards to Dylan,…

Don't worry: that circus will never come close to the Oscars, which might be boring and pretentious but they're not a joke like the Grammys.

French robots. That is all.

"I think his 'punk' ethos have taken precedent over their 'classic rock' leanings and the results have mostly been mediocre."

I think once they gave Vedder the reigns of the band—which, led to the firing of Abbruzzeze—the songwriting lost the nuance of their earlier tunes and became a bit less interesting.
