Trust me, if the rest of the article hadn't been so well written, I'd have roasted his balls over a burning Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster for screwing up something so basic.

To be honest, some guy named Paul Butter playing something called Field Blues sounds pretty cool to me.

Neutral Milk Hotel isn't eligible for another 5 years or something. Not that it'll make a difference. These guys don't think the cultural impact of The Smiths is worth putting in the hall. You'll see Jeff Mangum give a speech at the Rock Hall when he's, like, old enough to be one of those disembodied heads from…

Song's called "I Wanna Be Your Man". Change it, before all the fires of scorned Beatlefan Hell descend upon the AV Club.

I'd drop the "Marty wants a jeep" subplot, but even that's pretty minor - evidenced by the fact most everyone reading this right now just went, "Ooooooh yeah. I forgot Marty wanted a jeep."

Eh, Norah Jones is debatable. There were no more big hit singles that your grandparents liked to slow-dance to, but she's still a pretty reliable album artist. Basically she ended up with the career she should have had from the start. The Grammys and ballyhoo over the first album were more of an aberration.

I'll bite. The Vines were a band out of Australia that a lot of people thought were going to be the much-prophesied Next Nirvana. Cover of Rolling Stone and all that. Sunk like… well, Macy Gray. Primarily remembered for the sheer amount of hype they got and for totally not living up to it.

I'll agree to a point. The whole story shows that no one except Leno's audience actually believed in Leno. When they gave Conan the Tonight Show, clearly the network thought Leno would be over in 5 years, not still rocking the top of the charts with a hunger to continue. And that's his own network, the one that…

If you were over the age of 10 in 1992, you knew most of that story about Leno and Letterman, though. It was hugely reported as part of the enormous "Carson is retiring" entertainment news story.

Personally, I thought he had the funniest 11:30 network talk show since Dave's Late Show heyday in the 90s.

It should be changed to the Conan News Network. And only report Conan news. Like, hey, did you hear he had a talk with Jeff Zucker?

The first movie is clearly the best - maybe my favorite blockbuster movie of the 80s - but I think the second and third are both pretty evenly good. As a kid, I much preferred part 3, though.

Went to the Austin Record Show and picked up a bunch of records while still coming in under budget. I'm most excited about finding a deal on Sleater-Kinney records - picked up everything but the latest for 12 dollars a piece. Also got Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven by Love and Rockets, Blood and Chocolate by Elvis…

The guy just made a note that he went to bed without thinking this would go viral. He's working on more annotations now, presumably.

Your first guest: R2-D2

Ladies and Gentlemen: The "Greedy Fly" of the 2010s.

Generation Jones is, of course, Quincy Jones's experimental punk album from 1978.

"Is that a toupee?"
"Well, is that a swim cap?"

Yeah, I've always said that that's the best way to celebrate the retirement of a legend of broadcasting: Emphatically point out how the kids today just don't get him.

Check out some old 80s Late Night clips some time. Late night talk shows are generally harder to appreciate out of the context of their times, but Dave's best work still holds up.
