RIP Ed Mcmahon

Hey readers,

So, the last few weeks haven't been particularly kind to celebrities, and I know it's been a few weeks ago, and the Michael Jackson thing kinda stole his thunder, but I'd like to turn out attention back to Ed McMahon.  Specifically, his stellar work as the host of "Legends of the Superheroes." 


Whoa. 

I don't really know where to being with this video.  I mean, sure, the Ghetto Man thing made me pretty uncomfortable.  As did pretty much every single other part of this video, but I don't know...there's something inherently awesome that a show about superheroes getting roasted by dudes in complicated pants could actually get on the air.  That had to say something pretty significant about America in the 70's right?  It just seemed like a simpler time.  A simpler time with unbelievably shitty television and gas shortages and stuff, but still, it couldn't have been all bad. 

Further proof that the 70s might have been pretty cool:  The music video for Apache. 


Little known fact:  My brother kinda looks like the lead singer of the Apache video. 

Little known fact #2:  I am unbelievably jealous of this.

I like how Ed already looked old in the 70s.

And how a TV show could get away with trotting out a black superhero called Ghetto Man, but that probably goes without saying.

Good taste and kindness toward others isn't funny, PMM. Remember Eddy Murphy (no relation), doing Mr. Robinson's neighbourhood on SNL?

Failure by that committee would trigger automatic cuts in programs beloved by Democrats and Republicans, respectively, unless Congress later this year passed a Constitutional amendment requiring balanced budgets.
