Anybody else besides me not know that Levon Helm played the old Tennessee gunsmith that Marky Mark went to see in "Shooter"?
Jason, Jason, Jason, first Point Break now Levon Helm???

He's the legendary drummer/singer for The Band. Holds the rock record for "Being Most Stoned Yet Still Able To Perform Competently" for this performance...

Want to know something even more mind blowing Jason? The band Gorillaz, were named that because a group of gorillas are called a band.
I honestly have no idea if you're serious or not. Doesn't matter.
Wonder how the Butthole Surfers got their name....
Serious as dick cancer. True story.
dunno about Butthole surfers, but they rock. Or they use to rock.
Yep. He uttered the best line in the movie. "Still got the shovel."Anybody else besides me not know that Levon Helm played the old Tennessee gunsmith that Marky Mark went to see in "Shooter"?
He was also the narrator in The Right Stuff.
Underrated as an actor too.
Well I'll be damned, I didn't know that, or if I did I had forgotten.
Now that you mention it though, I saw it a few weeks ago and I can definitely hear his voice at the end describing Gordon Cooper's flight and that tone/timber/whatever of his is unmistakable.
Jesus, dude, you have to get more culture...wait.. there's actually a band called The Band?

Here, at the 7:00 minute mark, they explain how they got the name. The dude talking killed himself shortly after this perfromance. Their last performance, as the Band, they got martin Scorcesse to direct the Last Waltz, which is top 3 greatest rockumentry.
Soap was from late 70s and early 80s. It had an openly gay guy played by Billy Crystal, a guy who could only say what he meant through a puppet, a whore, Katherine Helmond's huge knockers, a crazy dude, and a kid who has banging his teacher. It was kind of like if you made a show about paddock topics.
OT, but I'm completely serious here...we -- i.e. my local trivia "team" -- might need a 5th to play in a tournament in Las Vegas in late August. You'd have to buy your own plane ticket, but it's a good excuse for a weekend in Vegas
"My biggest mistake was loving you too much" Don't Do It......
I've always like Rick Danko singing "It Makes No Difference" too.
Levon Helm also played Loretta Lynn's father, Ted Webb, in Coal Miners Daughter.
Definitely two of my all time favorite movies, Right Stuff and Coal Miners, and big big fan of The Band.
You must have posted in the wrong thread. This is the "Underrated" thread. I bet you're looking for the "Overrated" one.
I'll take the horse that stills holds the world dirt track 1-1/4 mile record at 1:57.8.
Spectacular Bid? Arguably the best horse of modern times who did not win the TC, although Cigar, Point Given, Forego would/could be in the discussion. Took a series of minor miracles and mini disasters for him to lose the Belmont, including possibly the worst ride ever by a jockey in a major race.
Levon Helm played a Kentuckian in two movies, Coal Miner's Daughter and the Dollmaker.
A Razorback drummer in a band of Canucks. Previous organist is in a Norwegian death metal band now.

SB didn't control not winning TC, so that doesn't play into his greatness. If you can't stud you don't count.
So was Secretariat not as great a horse as his grandson, Storm Cat?
Is Michael Jordan overrated because his son sucks?
Impractical Jokers on truTV.
Haven't consistently laughed out loud this much for a TV show since Chappelle's Show.

Minor, well triple AAA baseball for sure. If your a baseball fan of course.
Related, Div 2-3, and higher level HS basketball.
The Pontiac Fiero, LOL. I once had a great friend who loved his.
Screw interstates, give me a lonely, deserted two lane any day. Especially a curvy one.
I definitely love Blizzards! No, not the Boulder kind, the DQ kind. So much so I have one about every 5 years. But hey man WD-40, and Dire Straits, we must think at least somewhat alike.
As for Slew he had consistency, but then there are those defining moments. One of those other horses you mentioned had 3 of them which still stand so he'll be talked about until that changes. I kind of seriously doubt it will. Thoroughbred breeding peaked in the 70's.

Only if we are talking homemade! Those prepackaged pieces of crap belong on the overrated thread.
