    Also, regardless of the age of all parties involved, I still get a surge of energy whenever I hear Devo’s ‘Uncontrollable Urge’.

    Really enjoyed the SNL Homecoming concert special overall, but I wish they would have let Robyn perform ‘Dancing On My Own’ solo all the way through. That started out as such a killer performance, and as much as I love David Byrne, I don’t feel like he added enough to the second half to really...

    Agreed! He does such a great job with any project he takes on. Whether it is a book, a film, or an album…he always communicates in such an effective way.

    Man, I REALLY needed this “Sly Lives” documentary from Questlove. The timing couldn’t be better or more necessary.

    I’m partial to “The Story of The Clash, Vol. 1”, but Neil’s “Decade” is indeed an excellent comp.

    Listening to Tom Brady on color commentary for this Super Bowl was like listening to Springsteen’s 'Glory Days' on repeat for 4 straight hours.

    I’ve now seen “A Complete Unknown” 3 times. There’s probably only one or two other films I’ve ever paid money to see in a theater 3 times. It’s not the best film released in 2024, but it is the film that I enjoyed the most from 2024. And as a Dylan fan, I’m thrilled with the way the movie turned...

    I know most are sick to death of her, but I thought it was classy of Swift to toast Beyonce’s win with Jay Z. The only other one I thought might win was Charli. I like her, and there are songs on “brat” that I put on my 2024 favorites, but I honestly don’t think the album as a whole is all that...

    Honestly, this is the Beyonce album I’ve connected with the most. I’ve liked individual tracks along the way, but I enjoy a lot of “Cowboy Carter”. I’m happy she won. It was overdue, but she also earned that.

    I’m glad I’ve stopped watching the news because we’re about to go through the annual hand wringing from right wing pundits about many of these speeches and performances. Sigh.

    As noted earlier, we really shouldn’t read too much into these quick cuts to artists reacting to performances, but Beyonce looks as relaxed as I’ve ever seen her at one of these events.

    I don’t remember hearing about David Sanborn passing away last year. That guy was everywhere in the 80s.

    Yeah, this segment started off alright, but it has kinda gone off the rails.

    It’s like they wanted to have Lainey Wilson perform, but the only spot open was the Quincy Jones tribute segment. That felt super shoehorned.

    Very curious to see this Quincy Jones tribute set. Hope it does the man justice.

    That version kind of reminded me of Jose Feliciano’s beautifully straightforward take of the song.

    I don’t recall ever hearing a bad version of ‘California Dreamin’’. It’s just one of those songs that always hits for me. That said, that was a really nice rendition.
