GRIFT

Horrible news. Mitch was my favorite standup comedian. He had a unique delivery method and an inventive mind for dry humor that is on par with that of Steven Wright. I saw him live a few months back at the State theater and it was hilarious.

Sadly though, I am not really shocked that this happened. When I saw him he got plastered on stage, and did a portion of the act laying on the stage behind the backdrop because he was so drunk.

My personal favorite as far as his jokes go was the round about AIDs test.

Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen

It literally saved him from being dropped from his record deal and drew attention to his previous work, which has gone on into critical acclaim. After releasing this album he became the first man to be on the cover of both Time Magazine and Rolling Stone in the same month. Between Springsteen and Led Zepplin, 70's rock was revived, and without them some of my subsequent favorites never would have exisited. No Pearl Jam, no Saddle Creek bands, no Rage and certainly no U2.

On a more personal level, these are the songs I grew up with and they were the songs my father grew up with. My first cassette was Born to Run and while the Boss's entire career has produced music I love this album has some of the real stand outs like Thunder road, Jungleland, 10th Avenue Freeze out, Night, and Meeting Across the River.

All and all it might not be the greatest for everyone else on this board, but it is the greatest to me... and you'd be a fool to deny its impact.

My guess would be Scorpion... he just sort of fits the look and feel of the character.

The later Beatles stuff was great... they evolved so much. Their pop stuff never really hit with me all that well, but Happiness is a Warm Gun, While My Guitair Gently Weeps, Dear Prudence, and songs from that era of the band are fucking clutch.

I think Hartnett is alright, but he has a certain Randy Orton effect to him... I just can't seem to like him. He isn't a horrible actor but I think people shit on him a little extra just because of that x-factor.

Most people are suprised when I say this, but I am a MASSIVE Bruce Springsteen fan. I love everything the man has ever done. Any other Boss fans?

I saw them do it live recently, it sounds fine and it isn't taking the integrity of the song down at all. Only on EWB will you have people bitch about bands that are taking their power and status and using it to for charity. Only here do we have people who will look at that story and say, wow they are inhuman because they are covering a classic song instead of thinking wow, what a great way to generate some cash for some people who need it. What a great way to HELP people.

Number deuce is rather prime. I am suprised they didn't have anything from Raging Bull though... It was voted best film of the decade for christ sake!

Travolta's comeback after Pulp Fiction was tailor made for this topic.

It is funny that this is popping up because I've watched a different Rocky movie everynight this week (AMC has Rocky week this week) and I had JUST read this script last night.

I think the first two were classic. The third was a little far off. The fourth was ok. The fith was atrocious. But reading this... I think it could be an interesting take on the already iconic character.

Anyone remember the Magic Meat Ball episode of Rocko?

I love Lewis Black but Carlin > Black. Anyone who says other wise speaks herecy. Blasphamous, treacherous, herecy.

I saw him recently and he did alot off of Wide Awake, but he definately hit alot of the older classics. It is bizarre but the guy has been making records since he was in highschool... Good records.

The man has all the reviewers and a personal endorsment from Bruce Fucking Springsteen as one of the most influential song writers, and the voice of this generation...

I wish the Boss would endorse me.

Rocko > You.

Seriously, why aren't all the episodes on DVD? I need that.

If there were a movie about my life, young me would be played by Morgan Freeman...

Yes I realize that I am white, and he is far too old to play young me, but makeup has come LIGHTYEARS ahead of where it was years ago.

Fugahzi

BAD RELIGION!!!

Rancid

Do you think that this means Troy Duffy will be coming off the blacklist any time soon?

Hmm people finding God when all else has faded from their lives? You know that doesn't sound so much like a last ditch effort to get the spotlight, as it sounds reasonable. Imagine you loose everything you have in your life. My guess is you search for a crutch to get you through the pain and help you rebuild.

For some people religion is that crutch. I say we all just sit back respect each others superstitions and let celebrities be.

Comparing Hero to Rashomon is BLASPHOMOUS HERACY!

... Erm, not really, since it's clearly inspired by Rashomon. Also, it's better than any other movie on that group.

So the top five pretty much consists of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Spider-Man 2, Shrek 2, Kill Bill vol. 2, and something else that's slipping my mind.
