People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
My dad ran out of NCIS to watch and now he's all hosed up on Blue Bloods.

TV is the least watched that it has been for a very, very longtime. The monoculture where everyone is at least familiar with the modt popular tv shows hasn't existed for probably fifteen to twenty years at this point.

I enjoy showing people pics of the young David McCallum if they only know him from NCIS. Cuz he was gorgeous in The Man from UNCLE. (which has aged well in some ways and very poorly in others)

Oh my god, yes. Incredibly captivating.

David McCallum also composed The Edge, a song or sample you may recognize

I haven't paid too much attention but I don't think Chevy Chase has been accused of any actual crimes. He's just a huge rear end in a top hat.

He's coming to my town next month to do a showing of Christmas Vacation with a Q&A afterward. Ticket prices are insane, especially for a movie we'll get a dozen opportunities to see for free around then anyway. I just got an email yesterday that all seats are now buy one/get one free since it isn't selling worth a drat.

Has anyone ever had a bigger fall in public opinion than Bill Murray? I remember when I first got on the internet all of the talk surrounding Bill Murray is he was a good trickster or a manic pixie dream guy. Running around leaving candy in your pocket then whispering in your ear that you're a great person. Now everything I see about him makes it seems like he's a huge dick.

I was thinking about one of those times that Roger Taylor tried to pretend that anybody cared about him outside of Queen ... by building his big song with The Cross around Queen samples. The song was awful for any era, but the lyrics have aged especially bad.

Taylor held on to teenage rebellion far longer than he had any business doing. It ws already tedious around the song Sheer Heart Attack. A decade later, he was still singing about school.

I like that Sacha Baron-Cohen interview from after he dropped out of the Queen movie. Their original concept (which they wouldn’t budge on) had Freddy die in the middle of the film, and the rest of the runtime was dedicated to how Queen was still the best band in the world, and only went on to greater and more successful heights afterwards :confused:

The one thing that Freddie asked for before he died was that they won't make him boring.
He was totally ok with his band mates using his image and likeness, just don't make him boring.

What a bunch of horrible friends they turned out to be.

E:Contrast with the members of Motorhead who dissolved the band because "Lemmy was Motorhead"
I'll bet they won't have such a shallow and self congratulating film made.

He composed only one tune in the final game. It's difficult to believe, but the developers were full of poo poo.

Several other key members of Motorhead are dead and that band cycled through members. Queen was the same four guys the whole time and they all wrote and sang. They would not have been the biggest band in the world without Freddie but it's a very different situation.

My favorite Lemmy thing is him showing up to WrestleMania to sing Triple H's theme and only singing about a third of the words while making a good paycheck off it.

And the Motorhead biopic is Airheads.

My favorite Motörhead trivia is that because the song Motorhead was written while Lemmy was still in Hawkwind, Motörhead could not release the single Motorhead until Hawkwind did first.

\/\/ fixed, thanks. Actually, after looking it up I found the song is just called Motorhead in either band \/\/

Bring me the head of Auguste Escoffier.
Apparently Lemmy wrote Motorhead in the middle of the night when high. He borrowed someone's guitar and work shopped it by blasting away loudly on his hotel room balcony.

Working the hotel desk would have been interesting that night.

E: Lemmy tells the story here.

Motorhead the song has parallelogram as part of its lyrics, which makes it better than 99% of songs ever released.

To bring back the debate to the subject of the thread: while Lemmy was from all accounts the nicest most considerate person his love of adding Nazi stuff to his wardrobe did not age well.
I get it, in the 80's it was considered another way to stick it up to high society but it really wasn't a good choice for an aesthetic.

Hasn't the bassist been pretty quiet?
I don't think John Deacon did like, much of anything after Freddie died. I'm pretty sure he's not been involved with basically anything Brian May or Roger Taylor have done.
