I too prefer Elton John's version of 'Lucy' over The Beatles version. It's more robust and satisfying. The Beatles version sounds like a demo by comparison.
I don't think it's a matter of impact but rather of importance, quality and longevity of the music(keyword being 'music' and not how recently the artist has released a record). The Cure and Sabbath should be inducted as much as Mott The Hoople and the Strawberry Alarm Clock, or Human League...
Don't the groups submitted into the RHOF have to at least be good? I mean some of you are rattling off group names like The Cure, New York Dolls and Black Sabbath like they're in the same league as Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Steely Dan, The Police and so on. Heart? The Jam? C'mon folks. There's music...
The Tabitha theme song is terrible. The lyrics, the melody, and the choice of singer. I'm often a fan of 70's TV theme shows but the one for Tabitha is probably the worst I've ever heard compared to say themes from Alice, Angie, Chico and the Man, Welcome Back Kotter and so on.
Yeah I'm moving right after Episode 3 comes out(don't want to see it dubbed or with subtitles!). But it's not 100% until I get my passport back from the Swedish government, hopefully with a residential permit stamp included. If not Sweden then France, or maybe Australia. Or Mars.
Since punk rockers declared rock'n roll to be dead back in the 70's, but I guess that's beside the point when groups like Earth, Wind & Fire and The Bee Gees are also in the RnRHoF.
We have a winna! Good one, Mark. :D Wasn't there a character named in Cheetah in the Ron Ely series? I sometimes confuse Jai's character with someone or something named Cheetah.
Wow I was JUST thinking about the show the other day. But then again I was watching American Graffiti on TCM so that could explain the reason why. ;) (the first person that makes the connection between the two wins a smart pants awards)
Having grown up in the 70's(and considering it the best decade) this series slipped under my radar until I saw it on TV Land last year. I probably didn't know about it because I was still living in Australia in 1977 and perhaps Tabatha didn't reach down unda. It wasn't shown in reruns either...
Huh, that's a 180 degree difference from the US. In American it's all about money, image and fame. I don't want to generalize too much because obviously not everyone thinks the same way, but I'm pretty disgusted with the skewed perspective on priorities and life in the country where I've lived...
My impression is that the US is much more money-orientated than Europe and probably the rest of the world, whether it's people, businesses and the government. People are overly materialistic which is spurned on by the media. Businesses are all too eager to feed the populations lustful passions...
Dammit this is a blow to cinema. To me Debra Hill will always be synonymous with John Carpenter. I still have a few issues of Starlog and Fangoria from the early 80's with Debra's beautiful face in it. Whether it was an article about Escape from New York, Halloween 2, or The Fog. Fuck now I'm...
I'm not sure if this is aleady available in perhaps another OS, but I think a future version of Windows should utilize the use of transparent and fading windows. What I mean by this is that say for example you've got a few things open on your desktop, as often is the case. Whether it's internet...
I bought a really cool pair of aviator style sunglasses from Jeff Gordon's line of sunglasses. Only cost about $12 or so at Rite Aide. I often get compliments from people about them. When the sun is shining directly onto them the lenses appear dark red like the color of wine. Years ago I...
Ah yes...Colon Blow... Announcer: Hold it! Is that what you’re having for breakfast? Man: Sure, haven't you heard? Fiber is really good for you. Announcer: Well, there's fiber, and then there's high fiber. Try this. [ offstage hands replace cereal box with Colon Blow cereal box ]...
Well either my mind was playing tricks on me all the times I thought I heard a woman's verse or they had two versions of the song. ;) That would have been cool to see them on Bandstand though!
It's a rather obscure song from a group called Starbuck that came out in the late 70's. It has somewhat of a Steely Dan sound to it. Ok here's the situation that I've been racking my brains about: I remember this song when it first came out. I liked it back then and I had been trying to...
Ah well my knowledge of the ancient cult of socialites is rather limited. ;) But while we're on the subject of socialites and Nazis; that red-headed royal kid(can't remember his name) made a rather big error recently with his swachtika arm band at the party. Back to Paris, I wonder what...
Huh, I would have figured that HST would want his remains cremated so his friends could snort and/or smoke him. With as much shit as he did he'd probably be pretty potent.
As long as there are rich families with famous last names there will be rich sons and daughters that get a lot of attention even though they might not do much. I don't care for Paris Hilton either, but she's a socialite and a camera whore so she gets a lot of media coverage. Every generation...
Man, Paris' info is circling the globe as we speak at record speeds. I didn't realize how much info is on there, which is a lot and that must suck for a lot of people. Seems to me that the T-Mobile commercials with all those celebs are about to be played out in real life. "Hey Lindsay...
