Are you kidding me? One of the top songs of the year, nominated for all kinds of Grammys, is called "F*** You"! And you are asking why the music industry is in the toilet? I listen to Underground Garage on XM, a great mix of old surf/garage/rockabilly/frat rock along with the newer bands that continue the tradition. I also love the "Oldies Videos" page on Facebook, which brings back all the great music of the '50s and '60s, along with its sister page,
"Oldies Videos, '70s". That is enough for me.
I ran home from school every afternoon to watch a show on ABC - but it wasn't "Dark Shadows". Never had an interest in it (nor in "True Blood", for that matter). No, I ran home to catch the show that came on after "Dark Shadows" - "Where the Action Is"! Loved, Loved, Loved Paul Revere and the Raiders - especially Mark Lindsay! It had all the great bands and performers from that era on every afternoon. I wish I knew why Dick Clark has never released any DVDs of the shows, unless they were erased or were not saved for some reason. Great memories!
I am not a huge fan of this movie genre, but it has been done much better many in many other films. This movie was just plain BORING!!
Agreed, Jack. His performance in "Lonesome Dove" is mesmerizing. I would watch him read the phone book.
Loved Nick on Louis CK's new show - he is hilarious!
Mr. Selleck has a new show this fall on CBS called "Blue Bloods", playing the NYC police chief. There is a strong cast co-starring with him. This one sounds promising.
LOL! It leaks out of all his orifices!
Bill Press - the oil just oozes out of him. He is a one-man BP oil platform!
I am incredibly proud that once my three kids (2 of whom are already college graduates) moved out to go to school, they did not come back. I believe they would rather live in a cardboard refrigerator box under an overpass on the Schuykill Expressway in Philly than move back home with my husband and me. The youngest of the two grads is working his butt off as a waiter, but its a job and he's not too proud to earn a living, rather than mooch off us. He is ready to move on to something more "adult", but even if he doesn't find the ideal job right away, he will keep at it. That is something that we have instilled in him: that while he is "special" to us as our son, he is just another college punk to potential bosses, until he proves himself.
I did not get this movie's popularity at all. It was cinematically beautiful, but I guess I just don't appreciate martial arts films in general.
