My eyes all a-mist from the Smoke From a Dist-ant TOTHK!
Bob mentioned the NYC blackout (30th anniv is tonite!) -- did anyone else watch "The Bronx is Burning" on ESPN this week. Still can't get past Turturro's fake Billy Martin ears, but everyone else is doing a fine job.

VHM da Money Man, channelling the DC5 on "Baby Hold On".

It's So Easy to give Ms Ronstadt a BOS!

I knew you were gonna say that!

BOS2 Foreigner, "Long Long Way From Home", one of my faves from that LP.

I often feel that much of Foreigner's work doesn't stand up well with age, but this one sounds, if anything, even better to my ears. BOS #2 from me.

"Was it heavy? did it achieve total heaviosity?" VHM Woody, ever the culture snob.
MMMM! Cheeze for breakfast! BOS3 Styx.

LOL! I love that Bob's series of movie clips ended with Close Encounters and then segued into "Come Sail Away".
I thought that they were angels, but much to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship...

and yet another NY reference: "I left a small town/For the Apple in decay"

Belated BOS to Sanford-Townsend. I watched some of "The Bronx Is Burning" (copy editor note: their non-capitalization of "Is" bothers me every time I see it) and thought Daniel Sunjata (sp?), whom I'd seen in "Take Me Out," made for a vibrant Reggie, but the script is way too modern-soap-opera; despite what Desperate NipTuck values would have you believe, a crisis does not need to arise in Every Scene for the show to have dramatic value.

Sunjata is VERY talented -- he's one of the firemen on Rescue Me and I saw him as Langston Hughes (!) in an indie flick a few years back whose name escapes me. The show seems to want to make some sort of connection between the Yankees-in-crisis and Son of Sam, which is pretty "WTF?" I'd say. But I'll continue watching for the recreation of time & place and the characterizations (Oliver Platt makes a great Steinbrenner, I think). I'm especially interested in the portrayal of Thurman Munson; I was working at ABC the day he was killed -- I remember the sports dept going into a tizzy, as it happened about 5 in the afternoon -- and then hearing guys say, essentially, "well, now he'll be canonized, and everyone will forget what a jerk he was".

My sentiments EXACTLY.

I'd say, too. Although the exaggerated "Take uh PICK-cha, it'll LAST lawnguh!" cracked me up.

As I'm sure you know by now, when it comes to the bridge-and-tunnel crowd, there's no such thing as "exaggerated" (as the woman who sat behind us at the Yanks/A's game proved in spades). LOL!
