I should get in on this show, where can I catch the first season, is on Comedy Central's web site?

I like Girls because at its best it's very funny, but by the way unlike most people who comment on him, I find Larry Davis' character on Curb completely sympathetic (as well as, obviously, hilarious). His big failing, it's always seemed to me, is that he gives people he meets and talks to the benefit of the doubt in…

(Commenter from the future, chiming in 4 years later.) Fresh didn't know Mimi,when he heard her he asked who was talking, was told by his flunky that it was Davis' "tee" which I figured maybe was short for auntie?, if I even heard the line correctly at all; anyway, he then asks for and gets descriptions of what she…

I can see it - he has been infused with a little more of a Fonzie-like quality over the run of the show.

(Another commenter from even farther in the future, catching up on Treme in Jan '15, chiming in). No one mentioned it here but the opening scene on this episode was the funniest in the series so far I thought - when Antoine was trying desperately to talk the music teacher out of hiring him. "You know about my…

Web Therapy is one of my favorite things, The Comeback is likely more artistically significant but for me WT still gets the slight edge for unadulterated hilarity.

(Commenter from the future, catching up on the show a year later, chiming in.) The girls are beautiful but I'm surprised seeing everyone saying Marty wouldn't be in their league, he seems pretty handsome?, I dunno, certainly looks to be in great physical shape in the '95 scenes with great hair, well groomed and…

I didn't catch "Jeffries is gay" either, can someone remind me what saw that revealed that?

Yeah, and Billy Preston's wailing organ solos through that song, way back in the mix are fantastic too. Another great 'feat' for McCartney on Abbey Road I always thought was the impossibly high note he belts out in the second bridge of Oh Darling - 'when ya told me, WHOOOH' - man, what a voice, what an album.

Not the end of the world but I still don't quite agree about lucky. You're right, Ringo did have other opportunities and commitments; he chose joining the Beatles over all of those because he saw correctly that they were the best, just like they had determined about him. He had been with Rory Storme for years quit to…

I don't think there is any luck involved. Ringo's joining the Beatles was very consciously and intentionally chosen by both sides. They recruited Ringo after having had him sit in and fill in with them a number of times, getting to know him, and after them having several other drummers (mostly Pete Best of course),…

The song has been interpreted that way by some listeners and critics forever. (The line "one and one and one is three" was taken as another "Paul is dead" clue.) There might have been some element of that but I tend to doubt John had a meaning for this one of his kind of stream-of-consciousness tone-poems mapped out…

Not sure if you're making fun of me or empathizing/agreeing!, To me "Come Together" has a sort of stature beyond just being "a song from 1969," but again that may be just because I'm old.

Paul's electric piano is pretty great on the track as well.

Yes yes yes about unexpectedly varying the fill the last time. Similarly I dig how in the same song, Lennon only tops off one of the four verses with that great extra "yeah," singing along you want to then hear it and sing it every time but he withholds! Similarly again in "Eight Days a Week", the simple,…

Ringo's said many times it's the Beatles track where he's most proud of his drumming.

Get your foot off my stage, Tex-Ma'am.

Ever hear McCartney's (actually WIngs' come to think of it) live version from the "Concert for Kampuchea" album? In a really rare move for him, he acknowledges and compliments the hit cover version by using EWF's snazzy horn section riff for the ending.

Wow some of you guys are unimaginably young!

Didn't bother me or anything but you do realize that your response doesn't really address or have anything to do with what I said, it's really a non-sequitor. I was talking about lyrics being good or not, making sense or not. (Just for fun, here's another of my favorite pet-peeve Billy Joel lyrical clunkers: "the…
