Re: Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi
I enjoyed it, but wasn't blown away. It had too much cute in it for my taste. I liked how Force Awakens avoided any silliness.

Re: U2
Thanks for the review, Panda. I have a love/hate relationship with this band. I remember the exact moment I heard U2 War. I might have been in 8th or 9th grade. Joshua Tree was the album my high school class ranked as #1, but it wasn't to my taste at the time. When Bono tried to convince us they wer...

Re: RIP Sam Shepard
Am not a theater person, but read his poetry and prose when I was in my twenties and it did a lot to inform some of my earlier sensibilities about writing and the world. Two of the books were the Motel Chronicles and later, Cruising Paradise.

I love hearing Janes on tv and in trailers. Love it! However, what asshole decided to remake that movie! PLEASE for the love of god can Hollywood come up with new ideas. Stop making bad remakes.

Re: Worst/Best Hit Songs to Represent a Band
Is this a weird question. Has anybody ever listened to/ watched a band for a period of time that they really don't like? And although you may still not like them, or the music, you've found the whole experience very interesting and worthwhile? Not so much a band, but there have been songs by bands ...

Re: Joanie Cunningham is dead
I watched Happy Days as a kid. Likely both when it was one weekly and after in syndication. I vaguely remember anticipating what this Joanie Loves Chachi thing might be. Did they own a restaurant, or a bar? I was young, but was struck that the show didn't seem grounded in the late 50s as Happy Days ...

The Gorillaz show is definitely improved. I saw them in Seattle during the Plastic Beach tour. Front row. A few feet from Mick Jones. Likely one of my favorite shows of all time.

This is my most precious ticket stub. The art work on the ticket is by a company called Timorous Beasties out of Glasgow. On the on-sale date I was unsuccessful to get a ticket for any of the 22 dates. Actually, they had "hospitality tickets" for £425 that included a dinner before the show, glass o...

Re: Thousands Of Shows And I Still Can't Hear You!
Bandit! Cool collection of shows. Definitely more of a British slice of pop culture. And to have seen Happy Mondays or Black Grape when you did. Wow. Also noticed Catatonia. I was in Cardiff when their x files song was on the radio. Would love a story about either Happy Mondays or Black Grape.

Don't totally disagree, but for me the first 3 were magic, thereafter magic tricks. I agree those first three albums are excellent. And to be clear, I'm not knocking the production on War, it has a very unique sound that suits that batch of songs. I have a soft spot for October, one song in particu...
