Don’t Ask, Dotel: Pale Hose Back On Top (Can't Stop the Bleeding)

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 15:05:28 GMT

Riddle me this: Which marginal, powder-blue sports institution, skippered by someone with an international resume has recently been advocating the Chicago White Sox out of all proportion? That’s right: the Kansas City Royals, who knocked Burl Ives and his Twins from their short-lived division lead in twelve innings behind a shining, 4K performance by [...]

... Rogen looks a little trimmer here, which is a relief. No one under 30 should consciously resemble Burl Ives at 50. He’s much more relaxed hanging with his Freaks and Geeks bud Franco than with Katherine Heigl, his Knocked Up co-star, or with the high school chick in this movie—unions unlikely to happen outside of these flicks. Rogen’s Dale is the nominal straight man in the story,...

... my parents were dorks. It wasn’t their fault. I remember the music that came on the television: Burl Ives, Perry Como, Dinah Shore. I was so brainwashed that when Elvis showed up on The Ed Sullivan Show in the Fall of ‘56, when I was 8 years old, I was as disgusted at his filthy gyrations as The New York Daily News , which reported that Elvis “gave an exhibition that was suggestive...

Summer Magic (reviews from a netflix addict)

Rating: B Disney movie from the 1960s. A widow and her three children must give up their affluent life in Boston and move to the country in Maine due to a money issue. They reinvent their life in the country with the help of Burl Ives. I hadn't seen this before and I thought it was cute. Not one I must own but it is worth a look. Has a song in it "The Ugly Bug Ball" that I had heard before...

So, alone, unbothered, one of the happiest times Russell ever had was driving around the West on a motorcycle in the ’70s. When he takes a long automobile trip by himself these days, he listens to National Public Radio, CDs and tapes he has recorded to suit his own eclectic taste. On one tape, for example, are Stevie Wonder and Burl Ives. On another: Willie Nelson and Aretha Franklin....
