The Last Sunny Day For A While

The Last Sunny Day For A While
Don't be a stubborn old fart. Get the damn tests. There's nothing more inconsiderate to the loved ones than some geezer dropping dead from something that could have been spotted and making them deal with his old dead ass. I speak from very recent experience, here. Somebody's in for a ration of s*** when I meet him on the other side.— January 19, 2010 6:52 p.m.

Re #36: Nope. It's this, Daniels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsv2LrdXf1Y Just imagine Fallon's Neil Young doing those lyrics. :)— January 18, 2010 7:57 p.m.
Sorry, Citizen Journalist
Re 55/57/63: So basically, it's the San Diego equivalent of the National Enquirer? SOME of what's in it MIGHT be true, just accidentally? But accuracy is just incidental, and not seen as a goal, requirement, or responsibility? That's pretty much what it's sounding like, to me. Specifically, from post 55: "What's not to like about a thriving writer's market?" What's not to like is when it's fiction presented as fact, lies presented as truth, etc. If I'm not mistaken, the Reader has recently discovered that this is not appreciated by the subjects of such lies and misrepresentations, and a staff departure seems to have resulted. "In the best of journalistic tradition, more people writing = more people reading." I think the only thing quality has to do with quantity is that they're often found in inverse proportion to each other, and that "best" seldom equates to "more."— January 18, 2010 2:45 p.m.

Re #28: L-O-freakin'-L, Duhbya! Hadn't seen that one. Fallon's Neil Young is the only funny thing I've seen from him on that show (which I've only bothered to watch a couple of times as a result). Here's another excellent cover by "Mr. Young." ;) http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/video/cli…— January 18, 2010 2:20 p.m.

Yeah, I remember that. But those two were always snoggin' it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nhd1S_15HXk&featur… And probably will be again, when he gets her to join him on X Factor.— January 18, 2010 11:27 a.m.

I was mistaken in the earlier thread when I said Ewan stage dives nekkid. His pants are actually up pre-dive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HHUbFHInuE Here's early Iggy doing TV Eye: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K8S-1BwoJ0 And here's Ewan later in the film, tragically rockboy beautiful and hopelessly effed up. Yeah, I know. Redundant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlvxGi4FojY&featur… And now, for something unfortunately different, and yet the same. (Warning: hardy buzzkill ahead.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl9ojORz39M LOL. Ya can't say I didn't warn ya. :)— January 18, 2010 10:41 a.m.

Well, Velvet Goldmine is the name of a David Bowie song. The film is supposed to be based on his relationship with Iggy Pop, during the glam rock/Ziggy Stardust era. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvpUC1PNaIQ When I saw Adam do "Satisfaction," I thought he was a reincarnation of Elvis. As the competition progressed, I decided he was more a combination of Elvis and Bowie. Not sure what he's up to, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMo8JuPPb0M WTF is VEVO? <sigh> So much to keep up with.— January 18, 2010 9:07 a.m.
