@jbouie @jbouie , check out my 2-minute Valerian trailer/highlights with ELO soundtrack. Am enjoying "Unclear and Present Danger" 👍 https://t.co/DKGgfQkEAM

@PaulMcCartney @maryamccartney @PaulMcCartney 's #KissesOnTheBottom further solidified him as a great ambassador of all that was great about 20thC pop music. The older music he loved w/ his parents had echoes in the Beatles, and Kisses is a full love letter to it.

@VoltySquirrel @jessehawken Dune and Total Recall: protagonist with hidden powers arrives on desert mining planet, triggers political upheaval.

@RadioFreeTom Like the Smothers Brothers' "Man of La Mancha" skit: "Some men have not only given up their lives, but given up their time".
Strongly suspect this line was written by @SteveMartinToGo , who was a SBCH writer .

@joshtpm @RobGeorge It's the one with Heat Miser and Cold Miser, whose songs are the pinnacle of Rankin/Bass.

Monsieur @lucbesson, while Bowie was perfect for #Valerian opening, @JeffLynnesELO could work, too. A 2-minute trailer... https://t.co/Ya6QKjIvqc . Thanks

@petersagal @HamillHimself says he always regrets he chose a Beatles album as his birthday gift, instead of Beatles concert ticket. Thought he'd hear nothing over the screaming girls, and probably right about that. But your teacher got a memory.

@jetfan1 @RadioFreeTom Also, if you have young kids, @MariaMuldaur1 made several great collections of 1920s-30s hits, called "Swingin' in the Rain" & "Animal Crackers in my Soup".👍

[CultureOverTime @CultureOverTime]

@RadioFreeTom @CharlesPPierce Also, Paul fans should check out @takeitawaypod 's podcast

[CultureOverTime @CultureOverTime]

@RadioFreeTom @CharlesPPierce He thought he was getting away to a tropical retreat to recharge & create. (Then, he was mugged at knifepoint & lost his cash and demo tapes) https://t.co/VcX42rPFNM

[CultureOverTime @CultureOverTime]

@KevinMKruse @MatthewLFincher @PatrickIber If u add Minnie the Moocher, top hit of 1931, arguably 1st million-copy jazz record, & still being covered today, you'll then have 2 songs from the Blues Brothers soundtrack.

@jaketapper Grease comparison 5 yes ago, so even more so now... https://t.co/jabxrBvrvL

[CultureOverTime @CultureOverTime]

#Grease hit NYC in 1972, set in 1959. Time for a nostalgia musical about 2003's #Beyonce and #50cent ? #timeghost
