Coffee Talk #627: Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates, and Cat Stevens in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

I thoroughly enjoyed the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on HBO. It was a wonderful celebration of some fantastic and entertaining musical artists. Bands like Kiss, Nirvana, and The E Street Band absolutely deserve to be enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of Game for their legendary careers. As much as I enjoyed the show, the incongruity of the ceremony was striking. Personally, I loved seeing Cat Stevens and Hall & Oates perform, but some of my friends had a problem with those artists being part of the show. What do you think of talents like Peter Gabriel, Linda Ronstadt, and Cat Stevens being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…continued

Fast Five Trailer Features Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson!

The Fast and Furious movies are a guilty pleasure of mine. Paul Walker’s crappy acting mesmerizes me. I love that Vin Diesel is a giant nerd that plays Dungeons & Dragons (and by numerous local accounts is also secretly homosexual). How can this crappy series get even better?!? That’s easy — pit Diesel and Walker … Continue reading “Fast Five Trailer Features Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson!”

Faster Trailer (Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson)

Here’s the trailer for Faster, starring former WWE Superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. It shows off his natural chops as an action star, but is darker than his other movies. There’s blood, shooting, stabbing, and more. While I think The Rock is a fantastic comedian, most people prefer him as an action star. Faster looks … Continue reading “Faster Trailer (Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson)”
