See i would say Buscemi, because you get him singing the song at the end as the stand in wedding singer.

I saw that same tour at the Pontiac Silver Dome. To be honest, Money’s performance was very by-the-numbers scticky with every cliche rock star gesture and pose you could imagine but he seemed to enjoy himself like a kid singing into his hairbrush in front of the mirror. The Clash (whom I personally consider bigger…
Of the two:
Apollonia!
But that’s the point. I remember thinking in the early 2000s that the 90s really didn’t have a distinctive style and would be hard to distinguish it from the “now” of my vantage point. 20 years later, and with the cultural representation of the era solidifying around a few prominent signifiers, and now the 90s look…
He looks so much like Chris Penn in ‘Reservoir Dogs’ in that pic.
Shakin’ still holds up today.
One ticket to paradise is still available. RIP.
Yeah, but moving through pretty much all of the 20th century you could pretty much tell what decade you’re looking at by clothes, hair, music, etc (even though those trends don’t exactly match up with the decade we associate them with). The 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, were all pretty distinctive. The 00s? The 10s?…

Dammit. Here’s to that Daniel Johnston/Eddie Money collaboration we never got here on Earth taking off in the afterlife.
I saw Eddie Money on a bill with the Clash and the Who. Sandwiched right between the two. Talk about one of these things is not like the others. It was the only time I saw the Clash. Oh yeah.....Eddie Money was there, too.
I’ll always remember him for playing himself as Mimi’s ex-husband on the Drew Carey Show.
“It argues you don’t need to be professionally ambitious to have a fulfilling life—which isn’t something Americans are used to hearing, even outside of the “greed is good” ethos of the 1980s. The Wedding Singer suggests that “having it all” can mean surrounding yourself with people you love, doing good deeds for…
It is remarkable how much she has straightened herself out as an adult (aside from the multiple divorces) and that she has continued to have a good career. So many child star stories don’t end so well.
You mean like PEN15 and Lady Bird?
I find that as we age we tend to stop being so sensitive to those changes in fashion and aesthetics—generally because we grow out of being status-obsessed teenagers and twentysomethings who are socially required to care about those things. My Baby Boomer father claims he can’t distinguish between movies set in the 80s…
Perhaps 20 years from now, if you see a movie where a bunch of young guys sport Taliban-style beards, we’ll use that as a visual short-hand for “the 2010s”.
I think if I could spend a day watching The Wedding Singer, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally and Shakespeare in Love, I’d consider that a pretty good day. Hey, wait... I’m not working today... today could be a pretty good day!
Also, of course this movie was set 13 years before its release. If that were done today we’d be seeing a loving tribute to 2006.
