\u00b6 After two episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, we\u2019re ready to give Liza Minelli the rebound award for \u201cBest Save: Marriage and Career in Flames.\u201d And she shouldn\u2019t thank wardrobe, which hopefully is part of her character.


\n\u00b6 Prison conversation between Spector and Jacko:

\n\u201cWhat are you in for?\u201d

\n\u201dMurder\u2026You?\u201d

\n\u201dIt\u2019s just a BIG misunderstanding\u2026\u201d


\nCould be rife with subtext about how Phil recognizes Michael, but Michael doesn\u2019t seem to know who Phil is.


\n\u201cIs that a toupe?\u201d etc etc.

\n\u201dHey, you\u2019re not one to talk about HAIR, my friend\u2026\u201d

\nor \u201cNo, is yours?\u201d


\n“Hey Jacko, have any gangs approached you yet?”

\n“Is that what that was?


\n\u201dHey, Jacko, after we cut loose these chains, how\u2019s about I do up your next album? I swear getting dissed by Paul McCartney after 30 years is worse than a murder rap\u2026\u201d

\n\u201dPaul is such a sweetie, and his catalog performs so well\u2026\u201d


\n\u00b6 Over the weekend I listened to selections from THE ESSENTIAL BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, remastered by Bob Ludwig, and the sound delivers wondrous funky detail, depth, and nuance–much of it even more revealing than his work on 1995’s GREATEST HITS. The three DARKNESS tracks alone make you hope the whole catalog will get this treatment. After the Beatles remixes on YELLOW SUBMARINE and the 5:1 dubs for ANTHOLOGY, the Stones ABKCO SACDs, and the Dylan SACDs, it\u2019s enough to make you curse the industry for coming out with CDs in the early ’80s LONG BEFORE they figured out how to make\u2019m sound decent. Now, with reluctance, we have to restock everything AGAIN. Still on the fence over SACD vs. DVD-A.


\n\u00b6 If you liked W’s weekend Air Force One theatre, scroll down and click on “Idiot Son of a Bastard<\/A>.” Then write a letter to your local newspaper about how such gestures are still meaningless since he’s yet to attend a single soldier’s funeral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
