You forgot Lee Merriwether.

I think it's the songwriting collaboration with Elvis Costello that made FITD so good, and was easily the most fruitful musical partnership Paul has after the one with John Lennon, too bad it as so short-lived. All their cowritten tracks here are stellar, and they also shared a couple good ones on Paul's next album,…

For me "My Brave Face", "Figure of Eight" and "No More Lonely Nights" would be contenders. Flowers in the Dirt is a really great album.

Agree, underrated. "Beware My Love" is one of my very favorite Wings songs, and "Warm and Beautiful," "Must Do Something About It," "Time To Hide," "Wino Junko" and "She's My Baby" are all really good listens. Probably an understandable desire no to ever have to hear "Silly Love Songs" (although that is actually a…

I knew going in that this would be an inventory of songs I didn't know, because I don't know any songs about sweaters. I remember Adam Sandler sang one on SNL, Red Hooded Sweater I think?, but it doesn't seem to have made the list.

> Also, how is it that Frank knows the words rhetoric and recompense?

When I read the question in the article, why is it so important to her father that Jimmy, as opposed to someone else, be her husband for immigration purposes. Isn't the answer that they are already married, he actually *is* her husband? Or maybe that's out the window because Jimmy gave Marco his fake Steve-identity…

Way late too this discussion, I am catching up on this show and saw this episode last night. I feel differently about the show than almost all the commenters here, enjoy it consistently and Frank is my favorite character to see. William H. Macy has long been one of my absolute favorite movie actors and that doesn't…

I wondered too, looked like hash the way they held a little chunk of it on a pin and lit it.

I always thought it was a cover of the Munsters theme.

Six months does not seem like enough time to learn to sing and play drums and piano.

"Sting, who in 1987 was in Serious Solo Artist mode…" Hasn't this mode turned out to be more of an endless loop?

Didn't 13-year old Dennis notice that the Christmas records were played at holiday time by FM rock stations in the 70's/80's? At least where I grew up and I'm imagining they still are (unless they've stopped playing "Alice's Restaurant" at Thanksgiving and counting down the top classic rock songs on Labor Day!) …

Trans - splendent!

I was surprised that the entry on Elvis Costello didn't mention hat he also teamed with Paul McCartney to co-write hits for both of them - Elvis' "Vernoica" and Macca's "My Brave Face" (imo, one of the best songs of Paul's post-Beatles career) - and album tracks for both of them as well.

Yes that was a hilarious classic. I always loved the idea that they thought of the brilliant idea of having a 4th of July costume party and fail to realize that all the men will show up in identical Uncle Sam getups. Just inspired low-key silliness.

For pure being-funny-ness - as opposed to less important factors like ground-breakingness, artsiness, social commentary, historic significance, etc - imvho, the Bob Newhart Show easily trumps MASH, All in the Family, Taxi, Barney Miller and even I'd say gets an ever-so-slight edge over the also-great Mary Tyler…

If I understand correctly and the point of this article is that Andie McDowell is pretty, then I must agree.

Of course but you know what I mean. Taking me too literally. In fact I'm a keyboard/synth player myself so yes I certainly know that they're real instruments. But you know the difference I meant between the studio vs. the live version of "Coming Up."
