I’ll always remember him from Blank Check

 

Aww, dude on Elf.

 

I’ll always remember him as Mayor Ebert from “Godzilla.”

 

That and Newsies, for me.

 

Legend

 

Mad Magazine was a classic magazine for us when I was a teen. It was right there with David Letterman (over Johnny Carson/Jay Leno).

What I can remember the most from Mad Magazine, besides Alfred E Neumann cover, Spy vs Spy, the slanted political views, etc... Was the fold in. Classic. Pure classic.

He will be missed.

 

A deeply underrated guitar player with a truly unique sound

 

If you haven't heard At the Pershing: But Not for Me before, you owe it to yourself.

 

Fish are friends not food

 

Well this news just wrecked me. Genuinely one of my favorite musicians, along with his incredible contributions to culture and progress.

 

Like listen to Belafonte at Carnegie Hall, which is insanely trailblazing for inventing the live album as we know it, but besides that is INCREDIBLE. Just an absolutely encyclopedic command of various folk traditions AND of holding an audience in the palm of your hand with nothing more than acoustic guitar, bass, and bongos behind you.

Holy shit

 

Damn

 

The Too Hot For TV VHS was a formative experience for horny teens without the Internet

 

End of an era

 

When my first daughter was born in 1998, my MIL helped out here, and constantly watched Jerry Springer for entertainment.

 

the mayor of Cincinnati had a tv show?

 

...... and what a show it was.

 

Losing Gordon Lightfoot the same week as Harry Belafonte is seriously fucking me up. I am bereft.

 

Damn. He was one of my absolute favorites. I hadn't heard. Gonna have to give Shadows a spin tonight.

 

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on repeat

 

If I remember correctly, a few years back some media outlets incorrectly reported on his death, and he seemed to take it all in stride and had a pretty funny response.
