Is this supposed to be actual awesomeness or the equivalent awfulness of Korlexoy thread?

A little bit of both.

A couple further notes. I was curious about the dude playing the tambourine in both videos. That's Ray Thomas, credited as the band's flute player. I guess flute playing didn't make the transition from 70's symphonic rock to 80s synth pop. You just got to hang out on stage with a tambourine until it...

God bless the 80s! A time when I was still a naive kid and not the jaded teen I was in the 90s. I heard this song in the grocery store today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmmPFrkuPq0 It got me thinking about 60s and 70s bands that got a renewed lease in the 80s. I remember this song being all ove...

Carl Erskine, one of key pitchers for the Brooklyn Dodgers on their Boys of Summer teams. I just saw this. I'd long thought it was cool that one of the Boys of Summer was still alive. I'm curious if any Brooklyn Dodgers are still alive? I just looked it up: Bob Aspromonte - 85 years old - played wi...

Weezer is interesting to me. I honestly liked the Blue Album and Pinkerton and the Green Album was solid, as well. At some point, however, I just stopped caring about them ... to the point of total indifference and I'm not sure why. Was it just too much of the same thing? I can think of plenty of ba...

I'm outing myself as the resident DD expert/fan of the group. That's been well understood for awhile, I think. They're not a band that has aged well for me. Stuff that I moderately liked once is mostly a shrug now. Tho I do dig that early disco-ish version of "Girls on Film." I actually find myself...

Whitey Herzog dies a 92.

He broke my heart as a kid when his Cards beat my Brewers in the 1982 Series.

Well in the sense that they all sound terrible yes tbey do sound the same. And TBH I could have swore more of their catalog was littered with camera sounds. I've not heard much more of their catalog beyond the first couple of albums and some hit singles. I think Doc is the resident DD expert, alt l...

You tell me. I expect one Duran Duran song sounds like the next to those revbob ears . However it's "Girls on Film" that has the camera sounds not "Rio". Well in the sense that they all sound terrible yes tbey do sound the same. And TBH I could have swore more of their catalog was littered with cam...

Sure, good on her—lids finding pots and all that. My criticism, explicit or implicit, is always on the audiences that exist to keep it going. It's just the antithesis of a demanding audience. Hello, I'm not sure what the criticism of the audience is. They want a memory/greatest hits set; she provid...

Former pitcher Ken Holtzman

Hello,

I remember him as being pretty good for the Cubs - I had his baseball card. RIP, Ken.

Won a couple of titles with the soon to be defunct Oakland Athletics.
