You noticed that too, huh?

He was getting in the mood for mating. Told him to keep looking.

For weeks I kept seeing "news" about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez getting married, and now am treated to headlines about them honeymooning in Italy. I could not possibly care less (other than all the jet fuel), but thought maybe this must be really important to somebody (probably no one here) so I'm just passing this on.
Thanks for the news. I'll sleep better now.
 
I was never a huge Beatles fan. Liked a number of their songs but never went out of my way to buy many of their albums.
One thing I have to acknowledge about the Beatles though is they were very good at evolving their music and style over the years. Unlike, let's say - Boston, who had a dynamite first album and unfortunately every album after that sounded exactly the same, it got old quick. The Beatles were never really like that. It seems like every album they put out was a slight departure from the previous but still unmistakably the Beatles. Probably my favorite of their albums was Abby Road.

I can still sing along to every song. And the song order on the US Capitol albums is deeply ingrained in my brain. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've listened to their albums thousands of times.

And yet, that strategy has worked so well for AC/DC...

The bands I like tend to be those that evolve over time while remaining true to themselves.

I have never been a huge Beatles fan, however I do like an awful lot of their songs. I do think that Lennon-McCartney dominated the Beatles and am kind of glad they broke up in that it unleashed a lot of great George Harrison music.

Well, someone is a fan...


Well, "entertainers" might be a kind description. A better description might be what Anthony Bourdain would have called them - celebutards. I can recall that she was one of the "dance pack" on Living Color, which brought us some great entertainment in the form of Homie Da Clown.
There is only one Aflake movie I thought was good. I can't recall the name, but it's the one where his character scammed Iran.
 
Either one. If they made it to the US, I didn't run across them, or even references to them. They may have stayed in your hemisphere. I hear the electrons rotate in the opposite direction between hemispheres. They probably never bothered to do a reverse spin version.
I believe the sets in those days were completely different technologies and not compatible with US NTSC transmissions.
