Andy Rooney's Lost His Mind, Has Retired

After 33 years after he completely lost his mind, Andy Rooney has finally retired from "60 Minutes". Some people say - though I don't know - that he had valid points for at least the first three years or so. Regardless, I can say unequivocally, from first-hand experience, that he hasn't had a good point in the past 22 years.

But despite retiring, old habits die hard:

Eye In The Sky

Once in a while a song will come on the radio that you haven't heard in a long time and it's the perfect song in that moment. I had that today.

If you didn't see the season premiere of SNL last week, it's probably worth checking out. In terms of audience reaction, it was probably the strongest episode I've ever seen. In all episodes of SNL there are at least one or two clunkers. It just happens. This episode - every single sketch the audience was howling with laughter. It's probably and anomaly but who knows, perhaps they've hit a stride of some sort.

Pink Floyd Week: Pearl Jam - "Mother"

Pearl Jam raps up Pink Floyd Week with a cover of "Mother". Again, not thrilled with the song choice but the execution is really good:

Nick Thune vs. Andy Richter

After "The Snub Heard Around the World" a new documentary seeks to shed light on the Nick Thune / Andy Richter cold war. The trailer is out and it looks interesting:

Nick and Andy: Coming Soon from Nick Thune

Pink Floyd Week: MGMT - "Lucifer Sam"

Going back to the old school, MGMT perform "Lucifer Sam" on Late Night:

I was kind of wondering if someone would do a cover from the psychedelic phase. Not really familiar with MGMT (or Management as I call them) but they do a good job.
