Guess you could say part of my childhood just died.. definitely had the “Feels So Good” album in the household

Honestly, if we're counting how many times my parents played his LPs on Sunday mornings, Chuck Mangione had a way bigger impact than Hulk Hogan + Ozzy for me personally.

interesting.  It was also an album that was in my parents collection of Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Foreigner, Dan Hill, Christopher Cross and Jackson Brown
Felt like they were so sophisticated listening to jazz

^^ Add Cher and Traffic to this, and subtract Dan Hill, and you have my mothers absolute favorite musical acts of all time.

I mean do we know that? They’re reporting he died of cardiac arrest — he could’ve been fine and doing karaoke a few days ago.

there is no way your mom didn't like  "Sometimes When We Touch"
TIL Dan Hill is a a 51st state resident

sounds like our mom's would have gotten along famously



also, my parents had  Some Girls and I loved moving the faces in that album

also TIL
 The first printing of the album was censored as The Rolling Stone lawyers could not get permission to use those actors' images. The cover design was challenged legally when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe threatened to sue for the use of their likenesses without permission.

Hutch...have this?  mint copies are in the $500 range

She may have mildly liked it but she definitely didn’t own a copy or anything like that. (I have my parents record collection when they decided to throw them all out like fifteen years ago.)

Ugh I think it’s worth $10

Now if it’s sealed perfect it might be worth something

Am sure I have multiple copies of the original, the under construction and the other variants but it’s not worth anything

Pretty much every stones album had some issue with censorship..of course the classic starfucker etc…I think they did it on purpose to get press

[hutch]

I mean a first pressing run for the Stones in 1975 would have easily been in the hundreds of thousands

Cleo Laine British Jazz Singer 97

I'm searching the cobwebs but based on one concert database site she and her husband John Dankworth were doing fairly regular shows in the Detroit area in the late 70s so highly likely I was at one of those...

Back when Hulk Hogan was WWF heavyweight champion and cultural icon it was rare to see him actually wrestle. I don’t remember ever seeing him on Saturday Morning WWF or Saturday Night Main Event.

Then when you did see him actually wrestle he was shockingly mediocre. Barely moved. And he’d like bop a guy on the head while stomping his foot and it would be sold as the most powerful, violent move possible.

And you believed it. Because he was incredible at acting his schtick and selling.  A character in a drama. John Wayne wasn’t a great actor but he was a great character. Same thing.

hogan didn't engage his opponent - he engaged the crowd.  the hand behind the ear, demanding the noise.  the raising of the fist while pinned by an opponent.  the self-slaps to the face, looking to the crowd for energy.  his opponents, and the moves required to defeat them, were entirely secondary.

Damn, that Bob Mould was such a good script writer.

OK, that's pretty damn funny. Nicely done.
