"And what do we say about clarity? 'It's a BARBARITY that CLARITY is a RARITY!'" I love Bones. And I can only hope that Dude comes back as a squintern in future episodes. Awesome.

Day 25: The last song you downloaded (or the last CD you bought)
I don't really download music. Blame my librarian training, but digital media---and the futility of preserving it---mostly turns me off. And it's been so long since I bought a CD that I can't remember what I bought last. I can, though, recall which LP I bought most recently. (Blame the librarian thing again: when I want to add an album to my permanent collection, I look to get it on vinyl.)

Quadrophenia by The Who

It's taken me years to come to terms with The Who. Despite the fact that frontman Roger Daltrey guest starred several times on Highlander: The Series, I've never been a big Who fan. It wasn't until about a year ago that I heard "Quadrophenia," the album's title track, on the radio and found, to my amazement, that I actually liked it. I was even more surprised to discover that I liked the entire album.

Glad you came around to The Who! I like a lot of their songs, but I'm definitely no expert.

Also, love the "Bones" quote! "Bones" is one of my favorite shows. In the words of the Science Dude, "It's amaaaaaaaaaaazing!"

Oh, the Dude was so entertaining! I love Bones too!

And I don't really know much about The Who. I'll have to give the album a listen. I've also always meant to watch Tommy one day, but never got around to it. I figure since I've seen The Wall, it's next on the list.

I'm impressed you're diving into the rock movies. I've thought about trying them, but...I have a feeling they'll be very uncomfortable to sit through. I've always wanted to watch The Wizard of Oz while listening to The Dark Side of the Moon, though. :)
