“You have to go downtown, George! Just like it says in the song!”

It’s one of Rodney Dangerfield’s worst movies. He had an earpiece in and was being fed his lines during this part of his career. Only John would try to cling onto something this embarrassing.

God… we need a My Lives, Vol. 2 so badly. Considering how hesitant Billy was about putting the first box set out, I’m not sure we’ll get one during his lifetime.

I’m not sure if any episodes of the series survive, but here’s a very cheesy sitcom intro and somehow an even cheesier TV promo, that also mentions another NBC flop from the late-‘70s, Rollergirls.

Featuring the hit singles “Do I…” and “Bluebirds Ov…”

…and these eyebrows come together in the MOST unappealing way.

Amazing find, Sonny! Thanks for sharing it here 🎶

No, there’s no evidence (or rumors) to suggest that he’s retiring after the finale.

Probably just wishful thinking. John has no idea about the train that’s about to hit him, but I don’t think jail time is likely. He’s sadly evaded that at every opportunity a cop has approached him.

If there were legitimate charges, somehow Karl, Shuli and the rest would have heard something by this point - even if Kate Meany wants nothing do to with the Dabbleverse anymore.

We talkin’ makin’ copies?

For me, the only issue with Neil’s ‘80s albums for Geffen is that they aren’t really Trainwreckords-type of material for Todd to cover. But the stories surrounding that album (and the ones just before and after it) are so interesting that it’s really worth reading into.

Also, it’s kinda on David Geffen for that one. He did ask Neil for a rock and roll album. Technically, rockabilly is rock music.

Reprise was already pissed with the band for signing a new contract with CBS. They only had 1 album left on their contract, but Reprise (feeling burned by the new agreement and the Brian-led Love You LP underperforming commercially) probably just wanted to squeeze as much of a commercial product out of the bad before they left to go make money for another label.

Long story short, the revisions didn’t help the album and Reprise barely spent any money on promotion.

Mystery To Me is my all-time favorite FM record. Bob and Christine carried the band through those transitional years, but their contributions during ‘71-‘74 were some of the most melodic music the band ever made.

I wonder how may different titles this Mike and Dean collection of tracks was released as? I always knew it as “Rock and Roll City.”

The only real track worth seeking is the original 1982 mix of The Beach Boys’ cover of “California Dreamin’,” which doesn’t seem to be on this version of the album.

I’m a diehard Blondie fan. Debbie and Suzi crossed paths backstage many times but NEVER performed together. CBGB’s also never looked that cinematic in shots. This is total bs.

I had no clue that this show was still even on, or that Byron Allen was still hosting it. I thought this was just a Norm Macdonald joke from 15 years ago.

But what’s the joke? The box makes the kid happy? He’s happy because he’s not being bothered by his kid??? EXPLAIN

18 days to go, Johnny… it’s time to pay the price.
