Yep. Gaga Ball was a huge hit at my daughter’s elementary school, so she was able to provide much needed context to her head-scratching parents.

I’m just glad I’m not the only one who thinks Common gets high off his own fart fumes.

It’s carhold.

Agreed. I would have made Full Metal Jacket my 1987 choice.

At least I know where to go for my High Sierra fix.

I could claim that, but I just haven’t tried Culvers yet. It is now on my list.

I played Emily’s dad in “Our Town” during my sophomore year. My greatest contribution was knowing all the lines in the play and offering helpful ad libs to a couple cast mates who were struggling. Otherwise, I just tried to sound like my uncle from Massachusetts and the old man from the Pepperidge Farm ads. A couple…

BTW, I meant Steve Gadd. Unable to edit for some reason.

Jones should apologize to Ringo if no one else. The notion that he can’t drum for shit is ridiculous, and the story that he and George Martin duped Ringo into thinking a different drummer’s work was his own is not only bullshit, it’s just a hostile thing to claim. No one thinks Ringo is as great as Tony Williams or…

Don Jr. isn’t fit to serve Fredo his banana daquiri. The Trumps are Tataglias.

That’s one epic trend, considering I’ve enjoyed In-and-Out burgers since the mid-’80s. Now if you’ll pardon me, there’s a Three-card Monte game I know I can win.

I don’t know about that. I love Shake Shack and have tried Five Brothers. Plus burgers from countless small chains and standalone gold mines. But there’s something about the taste and texture of an In-and-Out burger that stands apart from the others. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean those of us who do are…

I was hoping for stories about the Columbo episode “Troubled Waters”, directed by Ben Gazzara and filmed during an actual ocean cruise. That and “Carnal Knowledge.” But still a great interview.

Yep. But I just ate a double-meat at their Gardena restaurant on Artesia Blvd. Sublime. Can’t help but look the other way.

Never thought I’d miss the days when Carl’s was run by right-wing Orange County entrepreneur Carl Karcher from his HQ in Anaheim CA. The American flag flying outside his offices was the largest west of the Mississippi and would always tempt distraction-related accidents on the 91. The placemats in his restaurant…

My best guess is that Jagger, Townshend or McCartney asked Jann to throw some old friends a bone. Remember Moody alumnus Denny Laine was also in Wings.

It’s all about Jann Wenner. If a band didn’t impact him, his ex-wife, his sons or his lovers in any way they may get the nomination but not the votes. And Depeche Mode emerged at a time when Wenner was more interested in movie stars and devoting money, time and cocaine to movies like Perfect.

Thanks for the perspective, comrade.

Probably won’t see. I was hoping Hamm’s character would introduce the others to the problem-solving expertise of IBM Watson and intone “Get your attempts to cling to permanence amidst random tragedy, won!”

He brought the same to “The Mummy” and “The Black Cat.” During the early years of Universal’s monster era, Manners was the go-to for non-threatening, slightly heroic romantic leads. But even then it made sense he wasn’t cast in truly edgy stuff like “Murders In The Rue Morgue” or James Whales’ wittier films…
