    RIP Pee-wee Herman

    in Off the Wall

    I watched Big Adventure tonight, just tremendous, non-stop laughs from start to finish.


    Then I watched Big Top Pee-Wee, that was a mistake, should’ve watched Cheech & Chong’s Next Movie instead. Vance the Pig was pretty funny, not too much else. 

    RIP Pee-wee Herman

    Nope! 

    :D

     

    I have a question for you, no right or wrong answer as it’s opinion, but I want to see if I’m right:

     

    Who is funnier:

    Pee Wee Herman in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure

    OR

    Chevy Chase in Fletch?

    I love reading these, but I have to ask why he mentions “catch of the day” so many times. I feel like it should be used once. “All these plays are great, but in my opinion the catch of the day belongs to __________.” Makes more sense than saying it 4+ times and being left to think it over.

    He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge for the second one. 
     

    I think he had to register as a sex offender, too. 
     

    One misunderstanding, I can begin to understand. 
     

    Two???  Nah. 

    OJ only had one misunderstanding, so he’s OK then right?

    2023 Concerts

    So last time I reviewed a Canadian concert, I think there were threats of nuclear war and relationship break-ups- thank you Cowboy Junkies.  
     

    This Canadian concert review is going to be different. 
     

    Once the plutonium night cleared from our souls, I invited my gal to go see Neil Young in Ridgeway, Washington... at the RV Life ****ing Rocks Amphitheater at the Cow Auction Fairgrounds.  
     

    It went different.  
     

    This was the first time either of is got to see him.  Got lucky with seats, last-second score about 18 rows back, dead-center.  
     

    Opening act was really talented and made for a good sound check. 
     

    Then Neil Young hit the stage.  Solo show with a surrounding cast of instruments he'd acquired in the 60's and early 70's.  He told us what they'd cost when he bought them. .. Pawn shop in '68, this piano's been on tour with me since 1972... Stills gave me this guitar and told me I need to use it on my next 10 albums...

     

    It was like he'd taken his favorite instruments on tour with him, and you were invited to check out what they could do.  It was like hanging out in his barn.  

     

    and he was brilliant


    I've heard he's been diagnosed with some form of dementia, so I didn't know what to expect.   I saw nothing but focus- I'd kinda expect nothing less. 
     

    He generally went for the lesser-known and Buffalo Springfield-era stuff. Funny enough, that's some of my favorite music of his.  

     

    It was gorgeous front to back, I couldn't have imagined him sounding any better in 1973, let alone 2023.

    I own this LP, and I'd put the show I just saw right up there with it:


     

    Killer set list, congrats, wish I was there too.

    Barbie vs Oppenheimer

    Barbie was very very stupid, but then again I’m not the target audience.

     

    Oppenheimer was good but not great, little too long. I most enjoyed Florence Pugh.

     

    Movie of the year is still the masterpiece John Wick Chapter 4.:worthy:

    This reminds me of the 1981 season. The Dolphins won the division with an 11-4-1 record. The Jets were 10-5-1 and the Bills were 10-6. That led to the 1981 WC game at Shea Stadium where Bill Simpson intercepted Richard Todd at the goal line with just seconds left as the Bills held on for a 31-27 win.

    Frank Lewis was a beast that day. :thumbsup:

    Yesterday, I heard that the Black Crowes are now opening for Aerosmith. 
     

    That surprised me, as BC recently finished a headlining tour. 

    I saw that same show in 1990, Pump and Shake Your Moneymaker tours.

    I'm not sure how much I trust their rankings but maybe so.  

     

    In any case, Booker was a good Bill.  Here's a write-up from Buffalo Fanatics:

     

    "The Buffalo Bills signed the undrafted Edgerson as a free agent in 1962 and never looked back. He went on to feature on the AFL’s 1962 All-Rookie Team with a career-high 6 INTs, picking off HoF QB George Blanda twice in his first-ever game as a pro. His man coverage was some of the best in the AFL and his ability to lock down some of the best talents in a league flush with talented, future HoF WRs was vital to our dominant defense. It was he who made our secondary as difficult to throw at as it was. He locked up the opposition consistently in the AFL Championships in 1964 and 1965, doing his part to take both trophies home. He was declared an AFL All-Star in 1965 and Second-Team All-AFL in 1969."

    I think I missed his best years as a Bill, or maybe little-kid bias. I started watching the Bills seriously in OJ’s rookie year, and Butch Byrd was light years better.
