I haven’t actually re-read The Sound and the Fury. I will though.

I tried to listen to some Roger Waters solo and it was awful. I do like his solo live album alot, aside from the songs from his solo career (not too many).
That Gilmour at Pompeii concert was mostly Pink Floyd songs, so it probably wasn’t too different from a post-Waters PF show.

And no, I haven’t read the last three Dune books. I dragged my feet on getting around to them until it was long enough that I decided to wait until I re-read the first three.
The Lynch movie seems like it would be confusing to be because a bunch so much of the exposition is fragmentary with out-of-context voiceover lines like “his wife is dead” popping up almost randomly to deliver important information. I only watched the first of the new movies, I skipped the second because I didn’t like the first one, but I felt like more of the details were in the Lynch movie, but I guess Villeneuve did a better job streamline the stuff he cared about, and leaving anything else he included as window dressing.

what’s “year of Carey”?

Is there a medical term for typing things that sound the same but are spelled differently, when you would easily spot the errors if someone else wrote it and you were reading it?

What I meant about that category was that I addition to frequent weird results and stuff that was only nominated because there was barely eligible made that year, it’s a category for stuff that exists in a different cultural landscape.
The results of several seconds of Googling:

Okay now it’s your turn. Find the VHS/DVD covers for 2001, Star Wars, and Back to the Future that tout their Hugo Awards.

Speaking of Hugos, and more relevant to what we were actually talking about, Dune won, and it’s a fan award, despite being super expensive because it was published by Chilton. I don’t remember seeing Chilton books in the wild. That sounds like an SF publisher to me though.

I’m trying to wonder who born in 1927 read Dune in 1965, and I’m having a hard time picturing that person,

Well really, it was the same people who grew up reading Heinlein and Asimov and Von Vogt in the 1940s.

Rainbow’s not that obscure. Dio and Ritchie Blackmore were in the band. Are you going to listen to the later lineups? I don’t remember those albums and never really thought of it as the same band.

I’ve seen the old Aerosmith videos, but I wasn’t watching MTV when they were current, so I don’t remember when they were actually in heavy rotation and they were never a part, positive or negative, of my impression of the band.

Didn’t Dylan have to publicly claim that “Tweedledee And Tweedledumb” wasn’t about Bush and Gore?

I didn’t actually remember this.

That Black Sabbath -Get A Grip video also has a dick in it. That whole thing is just a laughable example of what somebody from the ’70s thought would be cool in the ’90s.
Did all the early/mid ’90s grunge and metal fans who got into Sabbath because they were idolized by contemporary bands have any idea that this incarnation of the group was still puttering along? Did they actually show that video on TV? Did Beavis and Butthead ever watch it?
