Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Holy Crap! A friend of mine in Chicago just emailed me to say that he saw my White Castle ad during the Simpsons! He didn't know I'd done it, so it was extra shocking for him. :)

You must have a tape of that! The Simpsons ep with your commercial in it? Your Simpsonian collection would be incomplete without it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Jon, was that this week's Simpsons? or last weeks? (A friend of mine has last week's (both episodes) on tape. Recorded from satellite TV, which I suppose would have different commercials from broadcast TV.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Tommy, I'm guessing that it played during one of the many reruns of old episodes that air during the week, but I don't know that for sure. I'll ask.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Yep, I was right. From my friend Marc:

I saw it around 5:20pm on Fox 32 here in Chicago

My Chicago friend just told me the sweetest story:

just an fyi , when i first saw the ramones in 1982? at Metro, me and my friend went to see them and on the way home we stopped at a White Castle and we're eating our sliders and the Ramones actually walked in for some burgers. I must've been 17, best rock experience with White Castle until you of course ;-)

Jon's a star!! And way old. ;) (I'm actively ignoring my 20th HS reunion this year.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Must have been the White Castle on Addison.

ETA I gotta email my Chicago friends and tell them to stop fast forwarding through commercials.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

For those of you that are Lyle Lovett fans, what are your favorite songs of his?

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

That's great, Jon. Mark the event with some new pornography.
