I'm adapting to this extreme makeover. You know I'm an spasmodic poster, only a "flounder". I'll risk adding my two cents when I have jewels to spare.

Here's a (>) recent AP article about the enduring influence of the 1980 Blues Brothers movie, and a plug for the new director's cut DVD.(<)

Batman is not a dork at all.

I'm like the Eddie Van Halen of data accumulation.

Oh, I've been gathering more information about all of the green words with double underlines . :happybanana:

Just wanted to applaud the genius who devised the brilliant ^ Dork identification concept.

From just past the 70s. Jack Mack & the Heart Attack's Cardiac Party is arguably the best original Soul music ever created by white folks. This album from 1982 is on CD, but hard to find -- it's not currently available from Amazon but read the rave reviews.

Frank Zappa was involved in celebrated encounters with Tipper Gore and the P.M.R.C. a few months before they testified in separate appearances before a Senate panel about government regulation of objectionable music lyrics in 1985. Here's Playboy's 1993 interview with Zappa And a updated censorship news source.

They're OK, but some of us think Cream is even better.

While looking for information about the late great Freddie (Freddy) King, I encountered this The Essential Blues Album List. It was compiled "in response to requests from listeners to ... Blues from the Red Rooster Lounge radio show". According to the Rooster: "Narrowing this list down to a workable number was quite a task, and we've decided (for now, at least) to pass over such first-rate modern blues revivalists as Mike Bloomfield, Paul Butterfield, Johnny Winter, Bonnie Raitt, John Mayall, Robert Cray, Eric Clapton, Roy Buchanan, etc., in favor of the musicians who influenced them". Incidentally, Freddy King made the list of 'A Dozen Essential Guitarists'.

Several more to look for: Robot Jox (1990). Rock-em, sock-em action on a giant scale. The heroic score composed by Frederic Talgorn is performed by the Paris Philharmonic Orchestra. Puppetmaster (1989). Creepy killer dolls. There are by several sequels/prequels involving ancient Egyptian magic and the Gestapo. The Philadephia Experiment (1984) Secret tests end up with sailors from 1943 getting time-warped into '84. Fast paced. Time Rider (1983) More time travel action. a motocross racer winds up in the 1870s. -------------------------------- Vanishing Point (1971). A Radio DJ (Cleavon Little) makes a hero out of speed-crazed Kowalski (Barry Newman) out-smarting and out-stunting the cops, trying to get a Dodge Challenger from Denver to San Francisco in 15 hours. Hot Rods to Hell (1967) and The Frozen Dead (1966). Dana Andrews (President of the screen Actors Guild from 1963-1965) stars in both these B-movie favorites. In Hot Rods..., he's a family man harassed by old-looking teen-aged badboys. In Frozen Dead, he's a mad scientist planning to thaw out the WWII Nazi leadership. ------------------------- High School Confidential (1958). Russ Tamblyn as an undercover narc. Co-stars John Drew Barrymore (Drew's Dad) and Mamie Van Doren. Jerry Lee Lewis performs the theme song. Kiss Me Deadly (1955) Ralph Meeker is a mean Mike Hammer, and he's not keeping out of Cold War-era trouble. With Jack Elam and a young Cloris Leachman.

X-Ray is the "unauthorized autobiograhy" of Ray Davies of the Kinks. It's written in an unusual way. Ray relates true stories and some fabrications to a fictional interviewer. Davies is a fantastic storyteller.

IMO, not really. There is such lack of civility in society today. Would this woman's feelings be more valid if she was better looking? We can find plenty of unquestionably laughable stuff. If you have to ask, then maybe you should let it slide.
