Actually, if you think about it, it's a great question. My husband and I, Jeopardy addicts both, have often talked about our belief that the ideal Final Jeopardy question should not be either ridiculously hard or easy, but one of those things that you can get right if you just think about it a little, and use the

The answer was January 1, 2001. All three stated it as January 1, 2000, which is incorrect not as a matter of politics, but of fact. The first century started on January 1, 1 (or whatever the equivalent of that date was called then). There was no year zero. Therefore, every subsequent century also starts with a

I saw this happen once in the '80s, shortly after the Jeopardy reboot began. I'll never forget the question - "This date will be the first day of the 21st century." All 3 got it wrong, all had bet the house, and all got the boot. I was watching this as a late-night rerun, in bed, in the dark, and I cried out so

Actually, Moxie is Penn Jillette's daughter. Moxie Crimefighter, to be exact.

I always thought it was "this mellow-backed chick." I was wrong.

According to Lyrics.com, it's "this mellow-thighed chick." Don't know what that means at all. But it's still my favorite Bowie song.

Let me put this another way. This guy obviously knows little to nothing about music. Let's say it was sports. To be more specific, let's say this was an article about the death of Frank Gifford. And some clown who knows nothing about football comes on and says, "Well, I can't think of five important plays Frank

I think you missed the point. HipsterDoucheBag made a point of commenting on an article about David Bowie, filled with people who were mourning his death and feeling pretty emotional about it, and boasting that he knew little of his music and cared even less. Why bother doing that? He was asking to be castigated

Maybe you should have picked up on the fact that it was not a compliment.

That movie devastated me. Not least because it showed Campbell warts and all.

Well, your mind is just wrong. Because all those you mentioned, while great in their own right, are nowhere near as influential and important as Bowie was. Put down your phone and go listen to some music. Bowie played with everybody - everybody. And while I love me some Joey Ramone, he never made a record with

Get a grip. Most young people are not like you. I found out about Bowie's death via a 4 am Facebook post from my best friend's 19-year-old daughter. She stated that she was too depressed to get out of bed. All day, my friends' children (all in their late teens-early 20s) have been posting Facebook tributes. Don't

Yeah, and Cole Porter and George Gershwin died way before I was born, but I still know a fuckton of their music. Because I'm not, like, a hipster douchebag. And I don't think culture began when I turned 13.

You're not even middle-aged. Go home and drink some milk.

Then you've missed the magic that is "Sufragette City." I'm sad for you. Here. Enjoy. Wham bam, thank you, ma'am indeed. http://youtu.be/csxXXWvBwso

You took the words right out of my iPad. I will never forget that show. G-d bless David Letterman for devoting an entire show to Zevon's farewell. An amazing thing.

And why wouldn't you consider yourself a Glen Campbell fan? That guy is awesome. Amazing voice, and one of the best guitarists in the biz. Played with the Beach Boys in their early days. Was so in demand as a session guitarist that people used to schedule recording sessions around his golf games, just so he'd play

See my comment about Mick, above. Satan liked the song they wrote about him so much that he granted them eternal life.

Mick has all his internal body parts replaced every five years. He. Will. Never. Die.

Nowadays, 69 is not a longish life. Maybe it is to you younguns, but certainly not to us olds. Hell, he didn't even get the promised by the Bible 70 years. No, dying at 69 is considered dying fairly young, nowadays. Maybe not young for a rock star, but youngish, nonetheless.
