The Music Box is apparently a killer theater. They’re always showing awesome old and new stuff.

I’m like, don’t give him any ideas!

This is a fun prompt. That said, I wish I could take everyone to their first Radiohead concert. I’ve gotten to do it a few times, and it’s so fun to watch them turn into a superfan after the band plays for like 30 seconds.

Fuck it all, give me the $30k and I'll make you three movies free of slop.

But I do recall the snare drum sounding real good when you hit the tape with it a little extra hard!

That said, a $300 iPad with GarageBand is an incredible recording tool.

Oh wow. Perfect. 10/10.

Forever begging everyone, on behalf of all people named AL, to use punctuation when posting about A.I. so that it doesn't look like you're taking swipes at us.

Please, think of the ALs in your life.

It was a Fostex. 1/2" I think. Yeah, tracks 1 and 8 were always used for less critical sounds.

Real jealous of Chicago right now.

Preach!

Quick note to all screenwriters: the more you “polish” and “structure” your script to fit the needs of script courses and gurus, the easier you make your job replaceable by AI.

It’s your weird, idiosyncratic, fucked-up, unconventional stories that machines can’t easily duplicate.

Only fast food place I frequent is Taco Bell, and those are also hit and miss.

Jesse Jackson Jr. also had an under appreciated sense of comedic timing. Watch his fake sermon on SNL.😂

“Lola” is possibly the greatest rock song of all time.

I remember saving up for my first DAT! I had an eight-track reel-to-reel at the time, and the DAT let me create digital stereo mixdowns!

I am old enough to remember saving up for a 4-track cassette recorder so I could produce middle-class music.

Based on the weather and the pollen, I’m thinking the groundhog might have been wrong about us getting six more weeks of winter.

Humanity hit its peak the first time Tina Turner sang Proud Mary

What a jam.

Something like this apparently happened to Dennis Miller, too.

Food: "American food" is the punchline to a joke. And it's not like there isn't a lot of excellent food in America, but it is literally a PUNCHLINE.
Oh, but there's a culture where it's even more a punchline: English-Scots-Irish.

Name two American composers. Who are the first two that come to mind?
Probably Scott Joplin and Aaron Copland. An African-American who studied Bach and a Jew who studied with Boulanger in France (and was heavily influenced by jazz.)
This idea of an English-Scots-Irish culture is absolutely absurd.

Don’t forget who invented modern comic books. (It wasn’t white guys. White guys wouldn’t work in comics because it wasn’t real art.)

There's Shakespeare and Milton. Those are culturally incredibly important. But let me tell you something, these White Nationalists ain't talkin' 'bout Shakespeare and Milton. They aren't talking about Purcell or Wordsworth.
They're just talking.

We fought both world wars as a multi-ethnic and multi-culture society (even WITH the segregation of the armed forces.)
The greatest cultural achievements of the US are West African music and an Eastern European Jewish theater tradition mixed with modern technology.

English-Scotts-Irish culture is worth fighting for? What is that culture? Is it music? I mean, how much do you listen to traditional music of the British Isles rather than (say) rock and roll or Viennese music?
Musical theater? That was pretty much invented by Jews on 2nd Ave.
Food? LOL. No.
