Jeopardy 1/13/23
I Said Dance! For $400That’s Natalie Portman in the video for “Dance Tonight” from this ex-Beatle’s album “Memory Almost Full”
Who is Paul McCartney?
NOBODY EVEN GUESSED! They had a 50/50 chance of getting it right since Natalie wasn’t old enough to be in a John or George video since they’re long gone!
(she was born the year after John was murdered, so I guess technically she could have been in a George video)

On Ozzy and Jack's World Detour they were traveling through Georgia and were about to go to an Elvis museum. Ozzy says "We're going to see Elvis' wart? It's like seeing John Lennon's f*&%ing skid mark!" Jack: "Which probably would go for a lot of money!" Side note: The women who owns all the Elvis stuff said that she was offered $1,000,000 for the wart! She didn't say how much she paid for it, just that it was "a lot of money."

My reply liking your post here about Elvis was removed. I don’t think the Mod knows what the definition of a rim shot is:
rim·shot
/ˈrimˌSHät/noun
noun: rim-shot
1.
a drum stroke in which the stick strikes the rim and the head of the drum simultaneously.It is used in comedy to accentuate when something is funny!

Name That Tune 1/25/23
Clue: Simply put, former Beatle knows how to bring holiday joy.
I immediately knew without hearing a note that the tune was “Wonderful Christmastime.” Neither one of the contestants got it even after hearing the maximum of 10 notes. The one guy came close, but just said “Christmastime.”

Real Time With Bill Maher Feb. 3, 2023
“There was once a different musician named John Lennon who wrote a song called Revolution. And people who didn’t really listen to it thought it was a rah-rah call for Revolution. No, it was the opposite. The lyrics are ‘You say you want a revolution, well you know, we all want to change the world. But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you ain’t gonna make it with anyone anyhow.’ There’s a guy who understood how good intentions can turn into the insane arrogance of thinking your revolution is so f-ing awesome and your generation is so mind-bendingly improved that you have bequeathed the world with a new kind of human. You’re welcome.”(Right before all that he was talking about the banjo player from Mumford & Sons who tweeted that he liked a book that apparently wasn’t on the “approved list’”
and he had to delete the tweet, take time off from the band and issue an apology.) The 21st century version of “The Beatles are bigger than Jesus!”

That seems as unlikely as the rumor that Yoko never heard of The Beatles!
