Several times when they went to commercial during tonight’s College Football Championship game, ESPN was playing Gimme Shelter from the 1969 Rolling Stones album Let It Bleed. It’s an awesome song. The entire album is fantastic, and I’ve loved it since I was in middle school. I am just having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea that a song released five and a half decades ago is still so popular (and well known?) that it works. For comparison, if ESPN had existed in 1969, and if the CFP existed in 1969, they’d be playing Carry Me Back to Old Virginny by Alma Gluck or It’s a Long Way to Tipperary by John McCormack. Those were “hits” right at the start of World War I and — I don’t think I’m going out on a limb here — teenagers at the tail end of the 60s weren’t rocking out to Alma Gluck.
And the Stones are still touring!
I saw Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny last night and absolutely loved it. I thought it was a fantastic film and was very satisfied. Five stars.
It’s a little disconcerting that it’s impossible to stream the ABC 1982-1983 series Tales of the Gold Monkey. What kind of world is this?
Would absolutely pay top dollar for a Zack Snyder director’s cut of all 10+ hours of this season’s Vanderpump Rules Reunion Make it happen, Andy!
Hot Tub Time Machine is seriously underrated.
I had this lunchbox and bathrobe.
Dear Amazon Music,
If I say, “Alexa, play Taylor Swift songs,” I don’t want to hear anything else. I don’t want to hear songs that remind you of Taylor Swift. I don’t want to hear artists that sound like Taylor Swift. I want to hear… Taylor Swift. This should not be hard.
Thinking about introducing my 12-yo son to an Amazon Women on the Moon and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes double feature.
