"Pass The Mic, Tom"

Via 3QD, a really cool mashup of Rush's "Tom Sawyer" and Beasties' "Pass the mic". (Check out 1:32 when the riff from Tom Sawyer kicks in....)

And remember when Tony the Tiger snorted Cheetos and tripped out to "Tom Sawyer" on "Family Guy"? (Just for the record, I've stopped watching "Family Guy", even re-runs. It's turned beyond unfunny for me. Don't ask me why.)

With you on Family Guy. I could never stand that cast of losers.

Heh, I used to be a big fan of the show and then I got tired of it - too many pop-culture gags and predictable segues, not enough outrageous moments like they used to have in the earlier seasons.

Did you see the south park episode where they discover that the gags in family guy are assembled by a team of manatees, explaining why they have nothing to do with the plot.

MT: I did not see that episode. But the plot/gag thing in FG was also part of its original charm. Then it got formulaic. You can see it coming from miles away now. (Simpsons fell into a similar rut a few years ago but soon got out of it, IMO.)

I thought there weren't too many Rush listeners around. I mean, 97 minute drum solos, you know what I mean?

JAP: Just go to one of their videos on YT and make that same comment :)) You will find out if there still are Rush fans. (I am not a fan, BTW.)
