Your daily (or nightly) thought

[Bright Eyes]

Tell me someone else has read or at least skimmed this recent interview with Quincy Jones. He drops some fun Hollywood T about Cyndi Lauper, Michael Jackspon, Marlon Brando and more!

Yeah. That interview was fire, as was his previous GQ interview. He just gives no fùcks.

For decades I've thought she sang "the kids are gone." I thought the song was about a couple moving into middle age and splitting up. I thought, "That's a bit of an insult to Deniece that they think she's a 40-year old, isn't it?" 

 

Only today did I realize she's singing "the kicks are gone."

 

I feel very stupid.

There have been a couple of biographies written about him, but they're nothing special. I'd love to see a definite and GOOD documentary and book created about him.

A lengthy, depressing article on how the guardianship system in Nevada (among other sates) is used and abused to rob the elderly blind.

Why is it that people are so extremely rude and hostile to each other when commenting on Youtube? And it doesn't even have to be a particularly controversial subject.

Someone can make a list of favourite Broadway stars for instance, and sure enough comments start flying about why this person or that person has been left out or why person X is placed above person Y, and how f**king stupid the person who made the list is, how he/she is a c*nt or an a**hole or too ugly to live etc

 

How can you write things like that to a perfect stranger simply because you disagree with their opinion on something? Can someone please enlighten me, because I have no idea.

Why not simply move on and not watch the video? People seem to take it as a personal insult when someone disagrees with them, and their response is to be even more insulting and rude. It's baffling.

I just saw this for the very first time (never seen TCBS) and I think it may be the funniest thing I've EVER seen.

The sad part about this is that the episode to this day hasn't been released on DVD.  It's one of the funniest episodes and most requested.

I never knew there was a Hart to Hart comic strip.

A great 60 Minutes from 1972, on Nixon's trip to China, and interviewing a Russian man about their view of America.

Maybe someone with more knowledge of the inner workings of SNL can explain, but why are Mikey Day and Alex Moffat still featured players when they appear in more sketches than many of the main cast?

[DRW50]

 

Sometimes people want to stay on that level, for contract reasons.

 

Speaking of SNL, a look at SNL in Poland, which looks funnier (aside from the commercial anyway...) than anything on SNL itself in many years.

The stories about Stan Lee get worse and worse. It's even more upsetting because you'd think he of all people would have taken steps to protect himself - it just shows no one truly can.
