Real name James Wesley Voight, Jon Voight's brother and Angelina Jolie's uncle.

That's a song who should have charted higher in the Billboard Hot 100 chart back then.

I'm a hard rock and metal guy, but I have this song on my Spotify playlist. It's the kind of song you want to listen to on your back porch when it's nice outside.

This or listen it in your car on a nice day of summer.

Best quote (as CDR Tom "Stinger" Jardian):

And, if you screw up just this much, you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong!

Juice Newton's "Angel in the Morning"

Thought Juice was going to be black. Not the case.

Her name sounds like the worst-possible flanker idea for the figgy snack cake delights that everyone seems to have in their pantry despite not having bought a pack since 1981.

I was around and aware when Chip Taylor's song, rendered by Juice Newton, became big. While it is a song of my Coming of Age, it was irritating as FUCK. But I still like it.

Wild Thing was the BOMB!.

Ursa and Non are still around. So is Jimmy Olsen. And the "Bad Outfit" pimp. And teenage Clark Kent.

That's literally it. Even the little kid who played baby Superman has died.

Cliff Clavin is still around too.

Cliff Clavin is still around too.

So is Larry Lamb (1st Reporter).

Edit: I can't believe I'm not getting any love for this terrible attempt at humor.

We have another theory that does though, the theory of being extremely retarded

A political extremist on the left wants an authoritarian state. A political extremist on the right wants an authoritarian state.

I disagree with both of you. Extremists just use politics as a means of coping with their own problems in their own lives and communities. They don't feel as though they can thrive in society as it is so they seek anything that will destroy the current system and punish the people and systems that they blame for their misery. So they are similar but politics isn't the cause. Correlation does not imply causation.
