Jimmy Stewart was 50 when Vertigo was made. Kim Novak was 25. Jimmy, you dog. TV Pics: about as far out as 1958 was apt to get.

Brilliant. He’s only missing Tempest, Arkanoids, and Defender to make the series complete.

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Calvin Coolidge

I don’t mind kids trying hard and cheating and lying to get to the top

Neil French, on scam ads created solely to win awards. What a scumbag. God, I hope he never had kids.

One can only hope that after they shut off the cameras, that lion ate those freaking people.

I don’t know Czech, but I’m pretty sure “Hej pane zajici” means, “Hey, lion, eat me!”

Clever idea. Execution is hit or miss, but the concept of artists “covering” the covers of other artists is tidily post-modern and occasionally yields some pretty cool results.

“What would you call it … a break out, wild, full-tilt sound.”

Not the finest Huskers performance I’ve seen; the TV mix doesn’t do them any favors (a vocals-up mix was never a boon to their live set), and Grant’s mic really should have been turned off for the interview, as he has nothing more to say besides “huh” to Bob’s pretty articulate responses to the host’s inane questions. That’s a tough stage in an even tougher room. But seeing them on the MPLS equivalent of Good Morning, Washington is suitably surreal, from the host’s incredibly awkward laugh right before the interview to the b-roll of the audience of Minnesota morning matrons who must have been somewhere between mortified and bemused by the assault coming their way from the stage.
