Wow, am I old. The only one of those I didn't already know about was Morton Salt. Seems I remember ads better than I thought.

Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash. Two artists I used to be uninspired by. I've since come around. That's why I still hold out hope that I'll figure it out when it comes to Springsteen (see above).

Haven't we had this discussion before? And when we did, I committed the heinous act of admitting to my disinterest in … dah, dah, DUM…. Bruce Springsteen. Not sure why I've never been into him. But then, I can't explain why ANYONE would feel the same way about Zeppelin. Really?!?!?!?

Never thought I'd live long enough to see the Alamogordo Daily News referenced in an AV Club story. Never thought about it period, but at least I wasn't dumb enough to pay $1,000-plus for a piece of actual trash. New Mexico! Land of Enchantment!

So you drove across the USA to see this landfill. I live less than 20 miles away from it and have never felt compelled to visit. Hmmmmmm.

Who knows, but small NM towns will do anything for notoriety. We can't all be Albuquerque. Not that we'd want to.

Did you not see this was New Mexico? One of Our Fifty is Missing indeed.

Wasn't there a made for TV version with Shelly Long playing the mother? Yes, yes there was.

This I've always wanted to see a series like this, to show that songs have a long storied history that most don't know about. Here's a suggestion - "Train 'Kept a-Rollin'"

Blake also spent a very short amount of time at my alma mater, Eastern New Mexico University, in Portales. it was just a blip in time, and he probably hardly remembered it. But after Dances With Wolves got huge, ENMU jumped ALL OVER it.

I found this in the archives at the public TV station where I worked when I was in college. Apparently, someone put the tape in (a 3/4 inch tape, by the way. Only TV geeks understand that reference) and pressed record when they saw it was on.

I still have that "Special Edition." It tells in great detail the construction of this bridge (the crew building the dam mentioned in the video built the bridge), how they created dummies that looked realistic when they fell (pneumatic arms and legs that moved as they fell). I also remember the story of them testing…

From what I read, he was impressed, and a little ticked off that he could never be able to incorporated a rock band with an orchestra like that

TOTALLY forgot about Jesus of Montreal. Yeah, that movie rocks (not music-wise. No music in it)

And I've just read (thank you, Wikipedia) that Dmitri Shostakovich attended a 1972 London production just before his death. For me, that makes all of this even more cool.Yeah, I'm an extreme theater nerd, I guess. But I still hate Phantom of the Opera.

I had the pleasure of watching this at church camp (at CHURCH CAMP), after which we took video cameras and made our own version, at CHURCH CAMP. Needless to say, it was a pretty cool church camp.

(Four hours later)… WHERE THE HELL DID THE TIME GO??!?!?!?

Ah, there we go. Had to use Firefox instead of Safari. Amazingly, my hometown (pop. 9,000) actually works! Problem with my hometown, no cross streets. Pac Man dies almost immediately

Soooo, go to Google Maps and attempt to follow the directions ("click the Pac-Man button in the lower left…"), but no Pac-Man button to be found. Am I missing something or . . . Wait, this is something exclusively for Windows users, isn't it? SO I LIKE USING MACINTOSH. FUCK ALL Y'ALL!

What? No mention of his performance in Eight Men Out? For shame!
