Folks, always have a trusted friend or a seasoned professional glance at your album cover before it's too late to make sure you're not doing anything inadvertently embarrassing....

My daughter is a HS senior. She and a number of her friends are avowed CD fans. She has a CD boombox on her holiday wishlist. Great to see!

RIP, Diane Keaton.

I'm going to rewatch Reds, Love & Death, and season 2 episode 15 of Twin Peaks in her honor.

I've always enjoyed their singles, as well as the one time I saw them live.

I've heard people over the years criticize them for sounding derivative right before that same person mentions bands they like that are just as derivative. C'est la vie!

In 2003, after Caitlin Cary released her "I'm Staying Out" album, I had a chance to talk to her and I mentioned Mitch Easter playing on it, she said, Yeah, every radio guy wants to bring him up.

My 10th grade history teacher brought up the Paul Newman film The Verdict in class once and appeared to drop a spoiler about who won the case. I didn't watch the movie for years because I assumed I knew the ending. But he fake-spoilered it! When I saw it & the ending hit, it was truly a twist for me

I think Next Gen Stats told him there was only an 8 comprehension percentage among the audience on that reference.
