I've read that it's played with the capo on the first fret with an open E shape.

I had a moment yesterday where I thought I'd love to write a half fact, half fiction account of The Boss working with Brian DePalma on the "Dancing In The Dark" video.

About 45 minutes.

I wasn't worried for a microsecond.

Starscreams coronation may be my favorite sequence in the film, also the Decepticons on AstroTrain.

I can't get enough TFTM, its a great piece. Check out my column at Dail Grindhouse on the deleted scene from the film.

Man, I've seen this one and almost completely forgot about it. Thanks for jogging my memory.

To be fair, I wasn't on the queue on Wendesday and was surprised when my news editor mentioned that nobody has done an obit yet.

I don't think some folks are giving me credit for absolutely understanding that each film just simplifies the previous one. I love the idea that Ash would be that dumb to go back, though.

I wrote the story for AV Club. What an interesting tale…

I've been getting motherfucker's hopes up since 1980…starting with my dad.

The Knack are power pop; catchy songs like The Killers, but I wouldn't say extremely similar. "Good Girls Don't" was a great single.

Do you remember hearing a rumor that there was going to be a trilogy of videos beginning with "Everything Will Be Alright" leading into "Leave The Bourbon On The Shelf" (which was supposed to lead off SAMs TOWN) and then a third single? I also remember Ric Ocasek Being rumored to produce.

I never understood why "The Way It Was" wasn't a single…and apparently neither does Flowers who said "The Way It Was should have been a single" will be on his tombstone.

Most people I know list SAM'S TOWN as their favorite Killers album.

I'd argue better than the U2 original.

I think he's just become a better singer (it's bound to happen when you're constantly touring and recording).
