@jackiekashian.bsky.social Listening to the Heavy Metal episodes, & a couple of things. With Monster Magnet, the song you are most like to have heard is "Spacelord" of the album that was written on a drinks and drugs bender. It got wide airplay.
As far as types of metal, documentarian Sam Dunn 1/2
@jackiekashian.bsky.social @anylaurie16.bsky.social Listening to you on the length of California reminds me of my childhood(1970s)when it was a 20 hour drive from Westminster to the Gparents in Portland. Crossing 1 1/2 states! I can drive St Louis to DC in 14! People don't realize the length of Cali
Elton John (With Quarterflash opening, VP Fair 1982)
Violent Femmes (3 times)
Metallica(twice)
Dick Dale(twice)
Iron Maiden (at least 4)

I was listening to you talk about Billy Joel's "My Life" on the pod and I thought I would drop this little tidbit on you:
The lyric was about his friend who moved to "give them a standup routine in LA". That friend is comedy legend George Wallace.
@jackiekashian.bsky.social Listening to you talk about the rampant joke theft in Vaudeville reminds me of when I learned that Abbott & Costello's "Who's on first?" routine was such a common routine in Vaudeville that it was practically a street joke. Abbot & Costello were just the first to film it.
I wonder what the

@jackiekashian.bsky.social @myqkaplan.bsky.social Just listening to TDF and here's a favorite quote from my mom(don't know where she got it from): "Middle age is ten years older than you are". I guess that means that middle age is 70.
& she becomes increasingly suicidal, but unable to act on it. Salma seemed to think it happened overnight
Spoiler, since I doubt you will ever watch it: You think you're watching a movie about boxing, but it's really about assisted suicide & the ethics surrounding it. The "B" plot, as you always say
released this taxonomy in 2011 and I'm sure it has fragmented even more since then. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_E...
@jackiekashian.bsky.social I was dying laughing with @Salmazaky 's "fractured fairy tales" memory of Million Dollar Baby. The last part of the film starts with "Maggie" getting her neck broken and becoming quadriplegic because of a dirty attack. She loses her leg months later as her health fails1/2
