Recently started watching "Masters of Sex" via the Showtime app on Hulu and I must confess I'm loving it, albeit a couple years late to the exam room. (I'm not much of a binger, so I guess Season 4 will start without me soon.) Got goosebumps afer watching my most recent episode, which ended with Virginia (played by the incomparable Lizzy Caplan) singing "You Don't Know Me," which is perhaps one of the most underrated songs of all time. (P.S. Did anyone ever notice "She's Got You" has the exact same tune? Why wasn't there a lawsuit about that?!)
Anyone catch "The History of the Eagles" on Showtime over the weekend? I'm a fan, but it's hard to imagine anyone not enjooying this three-hour look the biggest-selling American band of the '70s. While friction between the band's only two constant members -- Don Henley and Glenn Frey -- was definitely a factor in the band's 1980 implosion, it's the subplots involving Randy Meisner (who sang lead on "Take It to the Limit"), Bernie Leadon and, especially, Don Felder (who was responsible for the haunting guitar part in "Hotel California," which certified their place in rock 'n' roll history) that provide the documentary's biggest fireworks. There's a reason we don't have these bands filled with singers and songwriters that were so prevalent in the California scene back when -- like Fleetwood Mac, Buffalo Springfield, Poco, etc. -- because managing that many egos was impossible. And if Gary Valentine, Jane Wiedlin and the No Doubt guys thought they could steal the spotlight from Debbie Harry, Belinda Carlisle and Gwen Steafani, imagine what a seemingfly interchangeable guy with long hair and a mustache was thinking back in 1977! Can't recommend this one enough ... have a look:
For some reason, not even a host of regrettable tattoos can stop me from, um, thinking about the 26-year-old Argentine. More to lust BELOW...
