Certain things trigger a variety of pop-culturally driven cryptic comments that I blurt out on occasion. It isn't that I want to be cryptic; rather, it's that I assume most people who know me know what I know. Well, K, you're so very wrong, presumptuous, naive and oblivious. Anyway, these are my fave examples of little pop-culture moments that little incidents in my day caused me to think about, ponder briefly and/or laugh aloud.
Dinner "Better Off Dead"
Tenacious D is touring this summer!
4 April 2012 Update: This is a tangential rant with lots of Freudian stuff you could dig out of it. For the record... hell yeah, I'll pay anything to be that close to Taylor Hawkins again, probably the only blonde guy since Robin Zander to rock my silly-little-girl-inside-heart... but what are the odds that such a fine dental example of a Fighter of Foo (not that Grohl's chompers aren't pretty nice but...) would tour with the D these days... there are many awesome studio musicians out there. I mean think about the amazing band that Dweezil Zappa (yes, OK, he's super cute too) has amassed to revive his father's music live. In this video, the singer is Napoleon Murphy Brock who actually played & recorded often with Mr. Frank. The bass player is a good guy who went to college with my former bro-in-law, and the saxophonist is remarkable--beyond words--they're phenomenal:
Zappa Plays Zappa Live "Inca Roads"
Oh mighty yes that is a painful segue, but here's part II
My favorite Metal Goddess- Robot in Lang's "Metropolis"
When Barnabus Arrives...
"You fill me with inertia" Drimblewedge & the Vegetations from "Bedazzled" (1967)
4 April 2012 Update: If you like stuffy high brow Oxford educated humor, lol (most of the Pythons went to Cambridge I think, except Graham who I believe was an MD from Oxford, but I love them as well) Derek & Clive, Peter Cook & Dudley Moore, "Beyond the Fringe," "Not Only... But Also," their live and sketch comedy 'programmes,' & "Bedazzled" and "The Wrong Box" are films you should examine. If my tired brain's memory functions serve me correctly, there's even an appearance by the Goon Spike Milligan in the latter. "Love them Goon Shows" to quote John Lennon.
