Jaws is going to devour this competition.

Johnny Got His Gun deserves better.

I'm surprised SNF isn't doing better than it is. I mean it sort of spawned a whole generation didn't it?

I just watched the recent documentary on the BeeGees that is on HBO. A very cool piece. It brought back the whole visceral hatred that killed disco. Well worth the time for music lovers.
