Recently watched what is easily one of Gene Hackman's worst movies (Under Suspicion) and he was still a joy to watch in it. RIP one of the best ever. 🎥

Highlight of the weekend: seeing Michael Shannon, Jason Narducy and friends knock out a bunch of REM tunes in Seattle, with Peter Buck joining for 7 tunes! #musicsky

About halfway they the #Snl50 concert, and love seeing Devo and Lauryn Hill. Love being able to fast forward thru all Fallon appearances. And can confirm Jellyroll should never be allowed near a Johnny Cash tune again.

Somebody took Dr. Johnny Fever's breaks from "WKRP in Cincinnati," inserted the songs he introduces and back-announces, and got a full three-hour aircheck out of it. It's the best thing you'll hear all day. www.awphooey.com/wkrp
