Great Moments in Sports History: "I'm Irish, and I'm looking for another mick to hit!"

Major hat tip to ESPN.com's Bill Simmons for finding this gem...a reminder of how Americans were able to survive four years of Jimmy Carter. By watching four years of bad epic television events like this:



The money quote comes from One Day at a Time's Pat Harrington:



Yow...I had such a crush on Valerie Bertinelli...

Anyway...here's Bill Simmons casting aspersions on 70's pop culture icon Telly Savalas:

I'm upset we once lived in a world in which Telly was a sex symbol.

The hell you say, Bill. Bald is BEAUTIFUL:

Gratuitous 70's Post

A fond memory.

The Summer of '79, Mission Beach, and an AM transistor radio. And I had great hair:



The 45RPM version is here.

Gratuitous 70's Post...and my deepest apologies...

...for what you are about to see.

Driving between Baltimore and Philadelphia today, I had the blessing (and as it turns out, curse) of my rental car being equipped with satellite radio. Of course there was a 70's channel...and of course I was listening.

And then came a song that I had not heard since I was in 4th grade. What was amazing is that the words all came back to me:



"No Question...me NO like!"

(An aside. Can you imagine the PC horror that would occur if someone tried to put that song out now?)

Oops...how can I post that without posting this classic?:

Gratuitious 70's flashback

Yeah, I know. All I do is post videos. Indulge me anyway...:

Tubing Weekend at The Music Chamber

This weekend's topic: 70's Schlock music. Post to be updated all weekend...

Who knows...maybe Abba will show up...

RIP Ola Brunkert

Who?

MADRID, Spain (March 17) - A former drummer for the Swedish pop band ABBA was found dead with cuts to his neck in the garden of his house on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Police said Monday an autopsy showed it was an accident.

A neighbor found the body of 62-year-old Ola Brunkert on Sunday evening at his house in a coastal area outside the eastern town of Arta, a Civil Guard spokesman told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

According to ABBA's official Web site, Brunkert and bass player Rutger Gunnarsson were the only musicians to appear on all ABBA albums.

Honestly, I didn't even know ABBA had a steady drummer. But as my four readers may know, I am a closet ABBA fan. (Obviously, I'm not too big of a fan, or I guess I'd have known they had a drummer.)

Anyway, Rest in Peace, Ola. Turns out that Berkeley Breathed's Opus had an unintentional (I'm sure) tribute to you yesterday:

Click on it to make it big enough for you to read, dummy!

The video, sans Ola:

Stacy is SWEET!

I think I've just discovered how Stacy and I are cosmically connected:



(Yeah, my blog sucks because all I do is post videos. I can live with that.)
