Just heard it, too. Glad I finally saw the Eagles last year. RIP.

I visited family a couple weeks ago who recently moved to Chanhassen, and we drove by the studio. I was extremely disappointed in the facility's lack of funkiness. The only indication that it's not a generic corporate headquarters is a couple of purple landscape lights highlighting the entrance.

You do love to bring up Felch, don't you?

Oh, God. Really getting into Mad Men practically turned me into an alcoholic.

This is the most perfect coming together of AV Club passions in the history of the site.

"Jerusalem" could be problematic, as it's usually sung to someone with a bag on his head, whilst standing in a tea chest.

I mostly listen to "The Spectrum" on SiriusXM, and not only were they playing a ton of Bowie today, they were having long conversations on air with those who knew him and worked with him, as well as taking calls from fans who shared their memories. Mark Goodman was the mid-day DJ, and you could tell just by his voice

Check out Goggins' Fresh Air interview about the role. He talks a lot about his accent and how he developed his portrayal of southern miscreants and ne'er-do-wells.

Upvote for Service Merchandise!

Don't many of us have an old Super-8 in the basement that was passed down from Mom and Dad (or Grandpa)? I'm pretty sure we have one from each side of the family, AND a projector!

As one who grew up Catholic, I have a vivid memory of being about 12 and trying to argue a religious point with my CCD teacher based on JCS, after seeing the movie on TV. I was very firmly told that it was only a movie and had nothing to do with the REAL story of Jesus. I'm lucky the class wasn't taught by a nun or I

…and the show seems to be on 24/7, so I find myself asking that same question a lot!

Here's some timely trivia: Edison held the record for most US patents until just a few months (maybe even weeks?) ago, when a guy whose name I'm not going to bother to look up overtook him.

You have to remember though, that a big percentage of his supporters believe in a coming literal apocalypse, so to them a little bad weather is no biggie.

Dildos over deringers?

Even as someone whose fingers currently smell of black powder and bore cleaner from sighting in my muzzleloader, I find these pretty funny. It's a nice visual to go along with my frequent thought, "What a bunch of wankers." On the other hand, I actually might be more likely to vote for a candidate who posted a picture

The Rural Juror?

Yeah, I let out an audible "Ooo!" at that!

I watched Quick Change for the first time last month, based on recommendations from AV Clubbers. Fun movie with a great cast!

My middle school home room/English teacher was a huge Stephen King fan, so when I would bring those in she not only didn't object, she sort of gave the "wink and nod" of approval. My mom would let me read anything; thinking back I am shocked at the violence and smut I consumed as a 7th grader.
