I haven't been able to follow the classified Signal chat debacle without thinking of Airplane.

Cloak and Dagger was cool, but way more of a Saturday night rental.

Pretty major deal in Cleveland comics. Great guy; around long enough for both me and my kids to have met him as teenagers!

At that age I wouldn’t have taken that off for a week or two.

One of my favorites!

Looks like the 4am listening is settled for May, then.

Same. I think none of us were old enough to realize any of it. It was just good family entertainment with some really altruistic protagonists and cartoonish bad guys. I’m not sure of any pieces at the time that pointed out the symbolism but there must be, and I’m actually curious to look now.

Just last week I played Child In Time for a younger coworker whose far more early 2000’s metal…absolutely loved it!

The only thing that keeps me grounded to begin with.

Thinking about the enduring power of music, when two guys who we haven’t really heard from in decades (Jamie Muir and Mike Ratledge) still evoke such wonderful tributes after they’ve passed on.

The annual tradition of angry boomers taking to Facebook threatening to boycott the Rock Hall until Three Dog Night gets in.

They’re gonna squeeze every living SCTV cast member into Super Bowl ads, aren’t they?

I want to say that whole thing was sort of post-Empire, pre-Jedi, beginning of GI Joe, so a lot of us must have gotten those for Xmas or birthdays that year instead.

It was!

The action figures were great tho.

Wow yeah thanks, totally new to me!

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Take all my money, Target.

Was really pulling for the Fleischer angle.

Needed ibuprofen after wrapping Xmas gifts on the floor last year.

Rough week, I believe they were also trying to navigate the region during the blizzard.

Spent way too much time on some of these in high school instead of, I dunno, dating.

We should all have a friend who gives us a Colosseum album.

Robert Urich as Dan Tanna in Vega$ is a level of cool I’ve never reached, despite parking the car in the living room.
