ELVIS PRESLEY!!! HOUND DOG!!! LOOK IT UP, KIDDIES!!!

Now “Until You Come Back to Me (That’s What I’m Gonna Do),” there’s a song that lived in the vaults after Stevie Wonder shelved his original recording. One week ago today I told a family friend that “Until...” is my favorite song by anybody, ever. Let’s leave aside the plaintive piano opening, the phenomenal drumming,

He even looked like that guy in the movies, Ralph Bellamy.

Excellent write-up, Caroline. I resisted this movie for a long time, but now I realize that, besides having very funny and/or touching scenes, the central trick of having Ryan and Hanks not meet each other throughout the movie is one heck of a feat to pull off. There’s no denying Ryan’s acting chops as she listens to

Forgot to mention - the opening of “My Best Friend’s Girl” is lifted from “Wild Weekend.”

This write-up is so spot-on, and so thorough, right down to the Orr partnership, Easton’s guitar work and the layered vocals. But there’s ONE THING Erik left out of the otherwise perfect article...

I was in high school, a little more square in my tastes. Didn’t care for Van Halen, but damn, the radio was hot in those years. The Cars were definitely a highlight.

“Straight Up” is a fine song, and the video is swell.

Now playing

I played along with his records for many hours, trying to sound like him. He was a big talent - a lot of the guitar which people think is by Peter Green is, in fact, Danny Kirwan.

Counterpoint: The Stranger is a strong album which became a phenomenon, but Joel followed it up with the ham-handed 52nd Street, which was just as popular but many times more tiresome.

I don’t even like Zep all that much, but “Stairway,” “Black Dog,” “Good Times Bad Times,” “Immigrant Song” - those are freakin’ cannon balls, undeniable.

I was just about to write this. His music doesn’t swing worth a damn, and he has no range as a vocalist. Every record is hermetically sealed. I always turn him off when he comes on the radio to over-compensate for the rabid love he inspires among others.

Whither Garp and Gump?

Nice write-up. I might actually On Demand it.

Anything you would put ketchup on would do much better with salsa instead.

Ahhhh....Had....the time of my life, and I’d do it all again...

This will go much better if you recognize Lincoln was a RINO.

I’m surprised not to see any mention of You Know Hoo.

Pfft. You need a boat, not a rocket, to prove the earth is flat.

I can only guess what $399 gest you.
