I know what you're getting at... for some reason it rubs me the wrong way, a little too "cute" if you know what I mean. Though obviously this has more to do with my prejudices as a listener than anything wrong with the music itself. Guy

I also find it hard to believe there are people who don't recognize the talent that Phil Hartman had. ← I think Hartman's a cut above all of these guys. His Bill Clinton was brilliant, better than Daryl Hammond's IMHO. As far as Spade, somebody must like him out there with all the movies and tv shows. I just hope I don't know any of them. Guy

Haven't heard the 1964 version, but had to include it for completeness. Anyway, I have to go with 1968 because it has such a strong groove and Keith gets into that gospel thing during "Sunset". Charles plays best on the 1963 version, but I really don't like how the Hamilton group approaches the tune. Guy

I totally forgot that was him. I'm very... badly... burned. Guy

...and we have overtime. Guy p.s. I haven't watched a Walton-commentated game in a long time. How can one man spew so much nonsense so productively? p.p.s. Alright who still thinks Nash shouldn't have been the MVP?

After seeing that show I found myself completely re-evaluating Led Zep. I never really liked them after their 2nd album. But now after all these years, I'm giving them another chance and ordered the "How The West Was Won" and "Physical Graffiti" albums. ← The first half of PG is really good, the second half sucks. I think Houses of the Holy is much better. Guy

About 325 board members younger, if the stats to my left are correct. Guy

I'm starting up this corner because I went to see "Hitchhiker's Guide" last weekend with my brother and while we were waiting we sat through 15 minutes of the "Kicking & Screaming". The rest of the movie is probably terrible but Ferrell is hilarious... that sequence with the "father-son" talk had me rolling. "What are you doing on that computer son... online dating?" It was enough for me to put Anchorman at the top of my Netflix queue. Guy

Shouldn't this be in the Emperor Palpatine thread? Guy

I regret not picking up the Andrew Hill and Larry Young Mosaics when they were in print, though I guess now that the material is slowly leaking back in print as individual CDs my choice may turn out to be a wise one. Give me individual releases over Mosaics any day. Guy

Nice choice. Maybe someone can convince me to change my belief that despite the incredible personnel, this album is more or less interchangeable with lots of solid BN dates from around the same time. Guy

I think I read somewhere that Tarantino directed the section w/Benicio del Toro. I more or less agree with Ray and Lon about this. (Though I haven't read the comic book.) They really brought the universe to life. Not a GREAT movie, but worth seeing. Not sure if I'd go so far as calling it a work of art. Guy

You're a soft-drink subversive. Guy

I'll go on a limb here and say it was pretty good even when he sang through 1981. Guy

He does a good job, unsurprisingly. Just imagine that the real Phil Collins was abducted by aliens or permanently relocated to the Himalayas sometime between 1978 and 1981. Guy

Phil Collins is on AGW as well. Guy

When I had him sign one of my Mosaic CDs, he was really psyched that I was listening to and enjoying the music. Guy

I don't think so... By the way, if Shaq doesn't play for a significant portion of this series, then the Pistons will definitely win. Guy

Western Conference lottery team. Guy

Very classy of Larry Brown to call a time out in order to extend Reggie's ovation. I agree with Paul and SS, by the way -- Reggie was a very good, even great, player but probably not a superstar. Guy

Yeah, because the Sixers and Pacers are reaaaaaaaaally tough opponents. Guy

Both teams are in for a rude awakening; no beating up on crappy teams from here on out. Guy

Was "jazz" as in "improvisation" always a part of their thing, or did they drop that at some point too? Guy

Technology hasn't gotten to the point where we can remaster people. Though some of these old rock guys have suffered from excessive noise reduction. Guy

What SoulStation said. Also, though he isn't a leader, Jimmy Smith's Back at the Chicken Shack and Midnight Special feature some excellent Kenny B. Guy
