"Luckily, I managed to get an admendment to that law enabling me to mention my wife, who has seen more than 460 films in the theater this year, and who wonders just what sort of neighborhood these people live in, as she has rarely run into that sort of behavior."
Has the lovely Mrs Devo really seen over 460 films last year? That is a lot of time at the cinema - especially getting there early to watch trailers. Why would you always need to see trailers if you go at least once a fucking day to the cinema?.
Old Mr Devo is a gullible fucker - "Where are you off now Vickie?" - "Oh just off to watch to another film - it's three hours but I need to get there early to see the trailers etc so should be about five hours in total"
More likely off shagging some young hipster or two.

I think DeVoe doesn't mind his wife seeing 460 "movies" a year because it gives more time to be a creeper at School of Rock. I like the one where he says:
I'm an old fart and I saw four films yesterday. Reserved seating is a "solution" to a non problem.
Right. It's not a problem at the first movie, it's the three you snuck into on your same $6.49 ticket where it starts to become a problem. He doesn't like seeing waitstaff because he knows sooner or later they'll ask to see his ticket and throw his thieving ass out the door. He probably brings his own candy bars and only drinks water, too.

Creepy post here from old pillow fucker
New York Times: The Gay Architects of Classic Rock
"It was illegal to be a homosexual. Read up about people like Alan Turing. He did more to help win World War II than almost anyone else, and he was forced to take estrogen supplements and driven to suicide for acknowledging that he was in a romantic relationship with another man.
If heterosexuality were suddenly outlawed, I'm sure I would risk imprisonment and chemical castration to engage in "heterosexual acts" with my wife. "You can be a heterosexual as long as you don't act on it."
wildstar said: ↑ Well I'd say its a fair bit less insane than the US where up until 2003 (due to a supreme court decision overturning such individual state anti-gay laws federally) being gay was still illegal in 14 US States.
Sodomy laws in the United States - Wikipedia I'm pretty sure I've broken most of those laws myself with my wife."

I saw that.
Between holding down what must be five separate film critics' jobs, I'm surprised Vickie can find the time for sodomy.

I'm surprise Vickie can even sit down if she takes it up the chutney that often.
No doubt she reserves the premium soft seating.

Hall and Oates 2018 tour announced --they just keep playing bigger ....I wish they'd do another tour with Todd Rundgren - I missed the one they did, and Todd and Daryl reportedly had a lot of fun singing each other's songs.

Have you taken a gander at Todd's resume? The list of "firsts" on it is awe-inspiring. Seriously, nobody with more than a passing familiarity with Todd's music would make that claim. It just makes you look foolish. You can dislike it, and are free to do so. A more credible critique of Todd would be that he's too scattershot, trying too many different styles, and that it's impossible for anyone to be equally skilled at all of them, that nobody could pull off hard rock, rap and show tunes in the same career. But to pretend that he's written the same song over and over? That's not a critique, that's a non sequitur. Here on the forum, I'm pretty sure everyone who has ever recorded a record has been called a "musical genius" at one time or another. But Todd is the rare one that I think would actually be considered a genius if he had never picked up an instrument or sang a single note. He has had significant careers aside from music - like his work in computer graphics at NYIT with Alvy Ray Smith, the co-founder of PIXAR. We're not talking dilettante here, at one point I met people at the computer graphics conference SIGGRAPH who had no idea he was in music, they just thought he was some eccentric professor. Or writing the first paint program for a home computer, the Utopia Graphics System for the Apple II. Or building the first interactive cable system for Time-Warner. How many other musicians ever animated every frame of one of their music videos? It looks primitive now, but I was at the computer graphics conference when it premiered, and not only was it all over the show floor, people not only couldn't believe that it was done on a $2000 personal computer, but that one man had done both the music and animation. True, but how many people manage to combine "Rock Star" and "Nerd"? The guys in DEVO? Weird Al? Hell, how many nerds did this? (For those who don't want to watch the video, Todd, in a white pseudo-Egyptian suit, wearing an ankh-shaped guitar, climbs the steps of a twenty-two foot tall pyramid made of pipe, and when the at the top, straddles it, and proceeds to play a scorching guitar solo, at the conclusion of which, grabs a canvas handle, does a back-flip off the pyramid and is lowered to the stage dangling by one arm.) By the way, Todd predicted streaming music 40 years ago according to Billboard: Todd Rundgren Predicted Music Streaming 37 Years AgoWhat's more, he tried to make it happen, but couldn't get any of the major labels to license music - even his own. If only Steve Jobs had lent Todd the old "Reality Distortion Field Generator." From his testimony to Congress in 2006: One of the first cutting edge projects I was involved in concerned digital rights management, a concept that did not yet exist. I was hired by, ironically enough, the Warner Full Service Network, an interactive television pilot project that sought to merge video, computers and high-bandwidth home delivery. The plan was to create on-demand music services that could be navigated on one's home TV -- kind of like an iTunes for the early ‘90s. When it came time to plug the music in, everything I had suspected about the savvyness of the industry was crystallized. To a label, every one of the majors refused to consider the possibility of putting music they controlled onto a server. Ironically, even the music division of Warner Brothers would not cooperate, even though this was only a demonstration project. Ever since then, the behavior of the majors has been that of a mindless parasite, contributing nothing, yet trying to get it's snout into the bloodstream of any new development. The knee-jerk justification is “protection of artists”, which would more accurately be represented as the interests of highly bankable artists still under contract. For every one of those, there are a hundred with a lifelong bad taste in their mouths over the way they were treated when sales began to lag. I have striven to tie together the “replacement parts” an independent musician would need to build enough audience for a sustainable living. Amongst these is, of course, the internet and a raft of contractors who can press and distribute discs for you and, if you can afford it, take on the promotion and marketing normally provided by a label. The only problem is getting heard. Terrestrial radio, especially of the syndicated flavor, is not available to most artists even if they do have a traditional label deal. I am opposed to any measures that would insinuate the major labels into an area that they have failed to husband, and to capitalize off of artists they have abandoned or never had any interest in. The myth that you could survive very long on record company advances has long been debunked. Players need to play to get paid and need audiences to play to. All the majors have ever done is try to claim the audience as theirs alone, and to lower expectations by exposing them only to the generally substandard product the majors begrudgingly underwrite. We're not going to solve anything, but at least it gives us Todd fans an opportunity to cheer for our hero, who is unjustly ignored. When we say he's a genius, we don't mean "we really love his music" ... the man is a genius by any standard, one of the most intelligent and visionary people to ever work in music, and sadly a "prophet without honor", dismissed by too many as a mere pop tunesmith.

If you have ever heard Andy Partridge talk about Runtlestunt, the word genius is usually replaced with asshole.

Is this the same wife who sees 600 movies a years? I guarantee they’re swingers - she’s the one getting every hole filled in the living room while he handles drinks and the playlist. And probably partial to a creampie.
