Well...this likely doesn’t help, but if you asked me this question yesterday, my answer actually would have been Raspberry Beret.

My wife, who works at a high school in Michigan, played Purple Rain over the P.A. I’m sure the kids had no idea what was going on, with all the teachers weeping and such.

Wow...not that she’s my favorite, but we need to get a team of doctors, 24/7, around Madonna. With Michael and now Prince dead, 2 of the big 3 pop stars from the 1980s are now gone way too soon.

And with Bowie also dead—-her idol whom she in no small part modeled her career after...she’s got to have her head on a…

Coincidentally, I literally bought “The Batman Soundtrack” on CD, on a whim, a month ago b/c I found it for $3.99.

A few (most) of the songs are dated, and it’s not something I’m going to put in my regular rotation, but Batdance is so wonderfully goofy, it’s timeless. Beyond that, the “Vicki Vale / bust that body”…

I don’t believe that is correct — you are thinking of trademark, which is quite different.

This is correct. This is an advertisement — just b/c it is funny, doesn’t make it exempt for copyright.

I’ve been doing this the past two days. Those guys seem like members of an apocalyptic cult — the main event is always j-u-s-t over the horizon, and if people just stick to the plan, they all reach nirvana together.

Steve Stone is used to working with play by play men who have trouble following the action. But Hawk is not as much fun as Harry Caray was.

Bieber sounds simultaneously out of tune, yet like he is using auto tune (e.g., his “let’s go-o!” seems to have unnatural modulation). That has to be tough to pull off.

The beat of that song is catchy, and I was close to putting it on my 3rd graders vacation mix playlist a couple months ago, but then I remembered to look at the lyrics.

This gives UNC basketball far, far too much credit. They weren’t focused on the hypocrisy that foolishly requires a handful of athletes each year, who don’t need book learnin’ to get into their chosen field, to “attend” school for a year or two.

This scandal involved over 3000 students — half of whom were NOT even…

As someone who also went to college in the 90s, the amount of time I spent playing Sega Hockey with my hallmates while listening to “Low End Theory” is incalculable.

Oh man, I hope these fans win. As I’ve posted in response to the Yankees’ stories (though that is a bit different situation), the *exact* bullcrap was pulled on me last year by the Lions, causing me to eat over $300 in tix to a Lions-Bears game. The only difference btw the Lions and the T-Wolves is the price floor was…

From the complaint: Erin Andrews“has suffered and continues to suffer from, including but not limited to, severe and permanent emotional distress, embarrassment, past and future medical expenses, and has incurred expenses and damages relating to the unauthorized use of her image and likeness.”

So unless someone has…

I commented in longer form on a previous story about this, but yes: the Detroit Lions require any single-game tickets be purchased through FlashSeats and the only way to post them online and sell them is through nflticketexchange.com (the Ticketmaster site) — and it has a price floor of 90% (or maybe 85%) of the…

Didn’t know about the podcast...will check it out.

...and I just did. It’s excellent, but it shows the (unfortunate, in my view) lack of popularity these guys have.
- Their Soundcloud streams of the podcast average only about 2,000
- Their YouTube streams of the podcast average only about 5-10,000

Great video.

To put Ms. McLaurin in perspective: when she in elementary school (i.e., old enough to know what’s going on in the world and to make lasting memories), women — of any color — could not vote.

And then to live long enough to see a black president and first lady, in-person, who I assume she voted for? Whoo,…

Man, this is such a bummer. I attended a game or two a year when they were the Plymouth Whalers (about an hour south of Flint) and it was decent franchise. When Peter Karmanos sold them and then they got moved to Flint, I hoped they would take hold there (as Flint has had successful minor league hockey before) and be…

Yep, it is tone-deaf that sports teams are (allegedly) worried about how to keep attendance up at their stadiums, when the creature comforts of home are beckoning, are instead creating barriers for people to attend. All this under the guise of convenience.

They try to make things easier and go part of the way, but…

Well, the Ann Arbor News essentially folded about 5-6 years ago. The name kinda/sorta still exists as a brand under the MLive Media group, but not really. There is no “newspaper” of note, just MLive reporters who focus on the Ann Arbor-area.

So my guess is he got laid off, just like scores of other people did at that…
