  1. The opening track is such a killer intro to the album. Such a great capture of them just before the Dark Side explosion.
  2. I’m gonna add Contemporary Liberace to the awesome band name list.
  3. Independence Day is awesome. Big budget movie with a big star and delivered. It probably does take blame for influencing about 50 terrible disaster movies since, though.
  4. Agree with all of this. I lived and worked close to the ROT for years, and now live closer your way, but in Atascocita. A ROT night for the wife and I usually included dinner/drinks at Brasserie across the street (or Tony’s place before that) and an after movie coffee/dessert at that French bakery place. The other retail places aren’t special and have never been much of a draw. For whatever reason, music based docs and movies was my draw to ROT. I saw the Pearl Jam PJ20 doc there and the Oasis: Supersonic doc there, as well as Walk The Line, Crazy Heart, and a few other music type movies. Maybe it’s the booze, but it has great ambience for that sort of thing.
  5. I was just about to disagree with you about Curly’s advice until this part. Completely agree. It’s great advice, but it’s more than one thing. The average person would miss out on quite a lot with a hyper, singular focus. The general message holds true, though.
  6. The making of The Godfather is a great story and worthy of being a movie itself, but this trailer is a little underwhelming to me. I’ll definitely watch, though. Coppola was hell bent on making the movie outside of Hollywood with his Northern California production company and the studio honchos were freaked out someone was going to change the framework of the industry. There’s tons of rumors of crew members attempting to sabotage production, including the editor purposely editing scenes terribly so that executives would come in and fire Coppola for poor directing skills, and so on. Carlo being cast to appease the mob and get their blessings, etc.. it’ll be interesting to see how far they go with details and accuracy.
  7. To be fair, Stern is eternally “off for a few days”.
  8. Awesome inclusion of Vicente Fernandez and Fugazi. Two of my favorites. I would add Volver to that list.
  9. Dennis Rodman is being used to sell stuff in 2022!?? Just saw him in a Planet Fitness ad.
  10. I think the left handed belt thing depends on the hemisphere you’re in.
  11. I’m 43 and wanted to work in sports my entire life. I’ve worked for the network that covers my hometown teams for over 20 years and it’s been incredibly fulfilling, though I often wonder what I’ve left on the table streamlining my career focus at such an early age.
