Middle Buffalo Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 16, 2018 -> 05:13 PM) His Cheers episodes were great as well. Only 65 Just came back to post pretty much these exact words. Of course, Cheers was just a great show. Not sure if it holds up, but great for its time for sure.

I used to pull up episodes every once in awhile on Netflix when nothing else was on and it definitely holds up. I get the humor more now that I'm older.

LittleHurt05 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It's still amazing to me how mainstream dance music has become. I used to go to hidden raves where you would have to call a hotline from a pay phone at the last minute to get a location, now DJs are getting world wide obituaries and EDM festivals have 100,000+ people.

There’s multiple spots going all night and into the morning in on the south and west sides every weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 RIP menards guy Quote In the category of advertising icons, few can top Ray Szmanda, even if few people know his given name. They know him as the “Menard’s guy.” Ray died on Sunday, his son reports. He was 91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Yeah. He seemed like a genuinely good person, or at least someone who tried to be and recognized his own shortcomings. His shows and his writing were as much social commentary as they were about food. e.g.: He was in Beruit filming when war broke out there, too. He cooked meals for the scared hotel staff. Plus he had a burning hatred for Kissinger, which is always a big plus. Edited June 8, 2018 by StrangeSox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It's interesting as you get older and celebrities that impacted your life pass away, there's definitely more of a connection and shock. Impacted would have sounded funny to me years ago, and maybe this is hyperbole, but it's hard to think of a celebrity that more embodied culture/lifestyle aspirations of at least peers of mine. The way people traveled and dined and went out and thought about experiences seemed to change either because of him or he was on the forefront of articulating it. Sad. Depression is just brutal. I'll never forget this article by Dave Weigel. I think about it every time an ending like this happens: http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2014/08/12/calling_all_sad_clowns.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 By all accounts, Bourdain was a great guy, too. I read a story that he was having issues getting a large piece of art into his home. A walker asked him if he wanted help so Bourdain said yes. After getting the art into his home, Bourdain offered him a bank-wrapped stack of $100's, which of course is $10,000 as gratuity. The fan said no but that's the kind of guy he was: fun, caring, and kind. It's too bad. You just never f***ing know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I wasn't the biggest Aretha fan, but I can certainly appreciate what she did as an influence on music, defining an entire genre. That said, this is pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Robin Leach, 76. "Lifestyles if the Rich and Famous" debuted in 1984. So, he was in his mid 40s when this show peaked. That is hard to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
