1, Why don’t people spontaneously combust anymore? As a kid growing up in the 70s, In Search Of taught me that it happened all the time.
Right! I do remember some of those stories. I think it is because we have banned superheroes and supervillains. Supervillains were probably the biggest cause of human spontaneous combustion.
Prove me wrong.
- Name an actor so badly cast in a movie it never should have worked but it did?
Ernest Borgnine in “Marty.” He wasn’t that great of an actor, but in this role, he actually took home an Oscar, which made his career, and that is why we had “Airwolf.” (Maybe we can find old reruns of “Airwolf” to watch this weekend.
- If you could bring one musician back from the dead, who would it be?
Tom Petty. I am hooked on his radio show on SiriusXM. 24/7 runs reruns of his “Buried Treasure” show. He is the deejay and dishes out some hilarious banter and the best of rock, rhythm, and blues.
- What’s the greatest fake band from a movie or TV show?
Trent Lane and Mystic Spiral from “Daria”
- We’re curious: what do you think is Frenchest city in the US?
I have never been there, but I immediately went to San Francisco.
1) Like everything else, the cause is climate change and Trump.
2) Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman as an indian.
3) John Lennon. It would of been cool to see him age and get even more eccentric in his music. Then he would eventually divorce the craziest rock spouse in the history, Yoko, and reunite for a Beatles tour.
4) The Commitments, but they were not as fake as you would think.
5) Austin. Pretentious overall and cool art scene and snobby pretentious people and cool music scene and pretentious about being pretentious.
1. They started making pajamas flame proof, which helped a lot more than expected.
2. George Clooney as Batman. Why shouldn’t he have nipples? We all do.
3. Easy peasy. Freddy Mercury. Imagine what his Vegas show would look like.
4. Josie and the Pussycats.
5. New Orleans hands down. Louisiana is the only US state whose laws are based on Napoleonic law rather than the British Common Law. The real estate terms are based on French nomenclature (arrondissement = ward), and the architecture is very French. Also the Acadians were from France and made their way down the Mississippi from Canada.
1. Because people are stubborn and most feel like the planet wants them to live longer. It doesn’t, so burn already.
2. Bruce Willis in Die Hard. He was only known for comedy at the time with Blind Date and Moonlighting, but he changed the action genre with his performance, and the movie still holds up IMO.
3. David Bowie.
4. Fingerbang from South Park.
5. New Orleans.
1) Depends on who you talk to. Rumor has it one side blames it on music remakes and nothing of new substance coming in rock and roll. Yet another rumor is it has something to do with the Illuminati but nobody can really prove that.
2) Liam Neeson in Taken. That gangly old fuck would get his ass kicked. But they made it work. Two more sequels to confirm he’s a shitty parent.
3) Janice Joplin. So much amazing news ended too soon.
4) Stillwater from Almost Famous.
5) Yeah it’s gotta be New Orleans that shit hole is very frenchie.
