WTF Comments: A real who's who of WHO?!

Stevie Rachelle of Tuff and Metal Sludge did not like our show on The Decline of Western Civilization Part II. He posted the link to the Rock Daydream Nation episode in his forums, and his readers went to work skewering us!  Peter Jones received the brunt of the brutality but we were all called “dicks”, “incels” and “dorks”. The link is below…enjoy the…

This Month in History - June

Here are the landmark anniversaries I am raising a glass to this month:

June 2, 1978: Darkness on the Edge of Town released

In June 1978, Bruce Springsteen’s 4th album was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 45 DOTEOT!

June 6, 1978: The Cars released

In June 1978, the debut album from The Cars was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 45th The Cars!

June 8, 2018: Won’t You Be My Neighbor? opens

In June 2018, Morgan Neville’s documentary on Mister Rogers was released. I first saw it at IFFBoston 2018 and I named it my #1 Documentary of 2018 and my #4 Documentary of the 2010s. This is a doc about a decent man using children’s television to promote kindness towards others was exactly the movie we needed during the late 2010s! Happy 5 WYBMN?!

June 16, 1978: Grease opens

In June 1978, the 50s nostalgia musical to end all 50s nostalgia musicals was released in movie theaters. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 45 Grease!

June 17, 1983: Superman III opens

In June 1983, the third feature-length Superman movie was released. This is the movie that everyone hates, that I dug. My Dad took me to see it as a kid and I really got into it. Over the years it has been raked over the coals for Richard Pryor’s distracting (but insanely funny) performance, the visual effects, and the fear of computers during the PC boom of the 80s. But my biggest argument for why this movie is awesome is that scene when the evil Superman fights Clark Kent. What an amazing scene in super hero movie history! Happy 40th Superman III!

June 17, 1983: Synchronicity released

In June 1983, the 5th and final album from The Police was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 40th Synchronicity!

June 17, 1988: The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years opens

In June 1988, Penelope Spheeris’ epic 80s metal doc opened. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 35th TDOWCP2:TMY!

June 22, 1993: Exile in Guyville released

In June 1993, the debut album from Liz Phair was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2013. Happy 30th EIG!

June 26, 1998: Out of Sight opens

In June 1998, Steven Soderbergh’s best movie was released. Here is my piece I wrote in 2018. Happy 25th OOS!

Rock Daydream Nation: Decline of Western Civilization - Metal Rock Documentary or a Hoax?

Documentary, or mockumentary? It was truly an honour to be invited back onto Rock Daydream Nation to discuss to infamous “documentary” film The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years directed by Penelope Spheeris.  This deep discussion went right to the hotspot scenes we still talk about today:  Chris Holmes (W.A.S.P.), Ozzy, and a parade of airheads wanting to be rock…
