You are not alone. There are dozens of us who love that song. Dozens!

Even when a family member has gotten up there in years and not been in good health, it doesn't make it any easier when they go. So sorry to hear that, Eddie.

It's always a little sad when someone posts something like that and just unintentionally dunks on themselves.

Here's my theory on all the titles: Tony is signing people and putting in their contracts that they'll get a title reign. Wrestler nears end of contract, point out to Tony that they haven't got their title reign. Problem is, he's got his booking for all his current titles laid out for the next few months. Oh no! Solution? New title!

But, still, the kid is not his son. Hee hee! Hoo!

I always think with people like Kelce and Kevin Hart and Shaq, I guess it's not a bad idea to get while the gettin's good, but damn. I do think you risk burning people out on you faster.

Agree. I feel like if you had a monster on the heel side, you could make it work. Like, someone who can handle the disadvantage. The problem is, everyone wants to start their workhorse (see: Arn) since they'll be going longer than everyone else.

I want Fraser as The Whale but in a Mummy movie.

Going by the video of the crash, I’d be shocked if anyone on that plane is alive. You can see the smoke from miles away. There’s still a shelter in place here (I’m outside the zone, thankfully) because of the smoke.

Now, I'm fine if someone wants to do that, but I ain't listening to their shit. Not getting my attention or money.

Yeah, his name is Ben Folds, but there were only three of them in the band. According to wikipedia, they just liked the sound of Ben Folds Five better than Ben Folds Three.

Yeah, I should have been clearer with my opinion on it. Basically, if you're making music for the reason that you want to make music, and you happen to get paid for it, that's awesome. If that reason is to get it in commercials, that's cool by me. I guess the people I see as sellouts are more "trend chasers". People who just glom onto the hot thing to try to ride that wave.

On the live album, Ben Folds Live, there's a song called "Rock This Bitch". Some of the audience are yelling out various requests and one person just yells, "Rock this bitch!" and Folds says what? Fan yells it again, and Folds makes up a little song on the spot. The dude who yelled "Rock this bitch!" is my best friend from college's older brother. He was (is?) a HUGE Ben Folds fan. Love that he's now actually part of one of his albums.

I did get to try a really good sausage roll from Daylesford Organic when we were staying in the Cotswolds (Kingham) for a couple days. It was amazing. Been craving one since.

My own personal criteria (not that it means anything) for "selling out" when it comes to a musician selling a song for a commercial is: If they write and record a song and someone hears it and wants to give them money for it, great. If they change their approach and start writing only songs that might sound good in a commercial, then they've sold out.

I agree that it’s pretty gross seeing A-list stars in commercials, but it’s hard to fault smaller-time musicians for having a song in a commercial these days. It’s never been harder to make a living at making music what with Spotify, etc. paying next to nothing and physical media sales almost non existent.

My wife used to work for Papa John's corporate, but we only ordered it if the kids really dug in and wanted it. I wanted to hit up a Nando's and Gregg's when we were in the UK, but didn't get to.

I did! And it was incredible, too. We have friends heading to London in the spring and we were just recommending that place.

I think Will (goodhelmet) made pretty comprehensive comps of a bunch of the dudes mentioned so far.

What's really great it that he didn't look that sleazy until he'd spent a couple years in Miami.

Happens a lot with local cable systems, too. I know my in-laws in Indy were without CBS for quite a while because their cable company and the network couldn't come to terms. This one sucks because our morning routine is Sportscenter on YouTube TV. Hoping they clear it up quickly.

Eh, didn't look like it was on it's way down yet.

I don't usually have really vivid, memorable dreams with a "story" I can recall when I wake up. The last one I had was that my wife was having an affair with Henry Winkler. Not young, Fonzie Winkler. Current day, Barry Winkler. I remember that the way I found out in the dream was that I was at Winkler's apartment (don't know why he didn't have a house in my dream), and there was some mail for my wife that had been delivered there. I told her about it, and now every time we see him on anything, she's like, "Oooh, there's my man!"

When I saw the governor's press conference, my first thought was, "Oh, like four or five great candidates just said, 'Fuck that!'".

My wife tells me that our son was talking about wanting a new hair style. She says, "He says he wants it like some wrestler named Hook? Is that his name?"
