If Music Could Talk

I remember a programme called MT USA which was basically just a guy in New York introducing music videos for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoons and every week, without fail as i recall it, they would play Love is a Battlefield and nothing evokes the 80s quite like it for me. There were three vi...

Pet Benatar is still performing. Casinos and fairs, fairs and casinos. https://www.benatargiraldo.com/tour Hello, I saw her a long time ago (1979? 1980?) when Heartbreaker just broke on the radio (radio?) at JB Scott's in Albany, NY opening for someone. Good on her - still married to her guitar pla...

I suppose I should be more honest and admit that I don't immediately go looking for something else, but that's because I'm not a major consumer of new television. Hell, I'm rather averse to even trying new things. Either the Boss finds something—because she's always hunting for new things—or people ...

Pet Benatar is still performing. Casinos and fairs, fairs and casinos. https://www.benatargiraldo.com/tour I remember once many years ago when I was working at the record shop, someone was rifling through the used CD racks and was beyond stoked to find, like, 5 used pat benatar CDs for a buck or tw...

Remember when we'd get, like, 24 episode seasons on the reg? Are you really pining for Enterprise ? (I prefer few episodes in a season as the new norm. There seems to be less filler.) I think it depends. 13 is typically a pretty good number of episodes for a season these days imho. Anything under 1...

Doc I hope you're sitting down. John Serling announces retirement effective immediately. https://www.mlb.com/news/john-sterling-retires?partnerID=mlbapp-android_article-share A Stantonian decision! Sterlingtonian! Is Waldman obliged to follow him into that perpetual night of confusion?

A Stantonian decision!

Just read the other day that he has the record for most wins by a Jewish pitcher—more than Koufax.

Is that because he's generally higher profile and more vocal as well as continuing to make crappy music vs Geldof being lesser profile and not still making crappy music (that I know of, and prefer not knowing)? Mostly, but I also give Geldof some humanitarian credit for Live Aid that Bono doesn't h...

Funny how all references to this "stunt" seem to come from sir Bob himself. Not sure which one I cant stand more him or Bono. Bono. Every day of the week, Bono is worse. Is that because he's generally higher profile and more vocal as well as continuing to make crappy music vs Geldof being lesser pr...

Could have sworn Mondays was a huge hit in the States but upon checking, I'm stunned to see it didn't even break the billboard top 70!! I think they'd a lot better songs tbh. I recall Geldof telling some yarn about the time they sent dead rats (actual dead rats) to radio stations across the country...

Never heard of this bit of Simpsons lore: https://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/r ... house.html

Those ungrateful swine.

Well, Nevada.

I'll be there in two weeks, anything you want me to tell them?

Tell them that all those Oceans movies are dumb.

Credit for Live Aid and all that, but does anyone remember/respect Geldof as a musician? It's fine to like a few songs and whatever, but nobody is ever speaking about him and Joe in the same breath. I guess it was good to bring awareness to the famine and general awareness of a very overlooked cont...
