I don't like TCM 2 more than one, but I do like it a lot. Sad to hear we lost him.

I don't like it more, I just enjoy it more if that makes any sense.

That probably wouldn't make any sense to a lot of people, but I happen to think just like that. In the Godzilla series, for example, I acknowledge (and find it hard to deny) that the first movie is artistically and objectively the best, but there are a whole slew of sequels I find much more fun to watch and tend to put in first.

That makes sense. The first one is better made, but the sequels are more entertaining, I can think of a few other examples like that myself.

Walter Becker, Steely Dan Co-Founder, Dead at 67

I just watched the episode of Breaking Bad the other day where Walt refers to Steely Dan as objectively better than any modern band. Loved it. Sorry to see him go that young. Here's my favorite Steely:

+ YouTube Video

"You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand"

One of my favorite lines in rock and roll.
