  8. There you go! The Twist Let's Twist Again Limbo Rock With a diverse and stellar portfolio pedigree such as that, it's no wonder he sues over an unauthorized penis app (what the heck?) with his name on it, after it is downloaded a whopping 84 times, worldwide. I'd be outraged to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds too. Surprised he isn't trying to sue someone in the medicinal marijuana community for so many calling a joint, "A Chubby."
  9. Not true. He had a minor hit the following year with Let's Twist Again. Let's try to keep this in perspective.

  14. Last summer was Curitiba's coolest on record, but this summer looks to eclipse last year. Diana and I have been in the condo's pool exactly once this entire summer; and then it was only a quick dip and out, because the water is so cold. C'mon global warming, you're not trying!

  16. What is also in Rubik's glass of scotch? Cause and effect
  17. Jimmy Page certainly, but I believe Page learned from the master - Jeff Beck, whose guitar starts to really resent the torture of Jeff's fingers at the 2 minute mark and doesn't calm down for the next minute and half here.
  18. Tim, the above statement was meant to acknowledge the excellent point you make about personal preferences driving source venue choice, but do you really feel that rock promoters and newer fans are satisfied with small and intimate? Perhaps the pendulum will swing away from ostentatious, but for now, I sense things growing more theatrical - again, as a trend. But you didn't give your observation on the roots of the big show; on which the original post is based. Where did the "big rock show" start in your opinion?
  19. After this past weekend's tragic fire in a Brazilian nightclub that cost more than 200 people their lives as a result of a music show fireworks display gone wrong, I found myself reflecting on my own concert experiences as a young person. I remember going to many concerts where the focus was on the band and their music - a simple premise, really. There is a group or singular singer/songwriter up on a stage - perhaps framed with a spotlight - presenting the fruit of their talents for the enjoyment of a thoughtful audience, many of whom could identify with random messages throughout the performance. But today, it seems the "production" must include choreography, dazzling lighting effects, themed backgrounds, various auxiliary sideshow theatrics and yes, pyrotechnics, in order to garner the most notice. Though the simple stage and singer presentation may still available, it seems the trend is for larger, louder and more showy, which begs the question; when and where did rock merge its message to Broadway-like productions? Was it Peter Gabriel's Genesis or Alice Cooper who first wedded craft to camp? Was it The Beatles on a rooftop or Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall tour where the staging upstaged the song? I would be interested in any thoughts on this subject from you lovers of music.
  20. Perhaps you are looking for the most stars to come from among continuous weekly ensemble casts, Carl; which would limit the number of regulars or guests who might be launched to greater endeavors. If that is your criteria, All In The Family comes to mind. That series' characters spawned future series, The Jeffersons and Maude, replete with their own stars and spin-offs. But on a broader scale, as you first worded "TV show", the title holder of TV-series-as-star-maker has to go to The Twilight Zone. In addition to featuring veteran Hollywood stars, the 1959 program that lasted initially for 5 years introduced the world to such future stars as, Ron Howard (his first dramatic appearance, predating Andy Griffith,) Carol Burnett, Dick York, Julie Newmar, Robert Redford, Dennis Hopper, Elizabeth Montgomery, Robert Duvall, Ted Knight, Ted Cassidy and oh, so many more. I've been on a personal TZ reawakening jag lately and find that infant TV show extremely compelling. It is amazing to see the bit parts during certain episodes filled by today's recognized Hollywood veterans.
  21. What was the patient's answer when asked by his physician, "What results do you seek from a prescription to combat erectile dysfunction?" Rubik's cube
  22. What did Buckwheat call Charlie Brown's absurd younger sister? between a rock and a hard place
  23. Recently learned that Netflix added the initial 1959 and three other seasons of The Twilight Zone to its programing. So far have watched half the episodes from that initial season, and have been amazed once again at the quality of writing and acting that was consistently presented through that program week to week. Sets, props and effects were all cheesy and low budget, but the original subject material and its presentation made each story so very significant.
  24. What did the sign over Dad's old woodshed read? Super Duper
