FAVORITES

Just a few of BV's favorite things

1962 Chevy Impala

283 V8, White, Red Trim, Ragtop .. Sleek, Smooth, and Cool.
Yeah, we got 15 miles to a gallon .. but who cared?

If you weren't around to watch the Ed Sullivan Show on Sunday, February 9, 1964 -
then you just don't know. They defined what a Rock 'n' Roll band was
and changed music and pop culture forever.
Overnight, millions of us kids suddenly knew what we wanted to do.
To this day, there's these guys, and then there's every other band.

The Sopranos

Tagline, "If one family doesn't kill him - the other family will."
Creator David Chase set the bar with hands-down TV's best drama.
Actor James Gandolfini as a mob boss in therapy is truly unequaled.

Seinfeld

The genius of Larry David cannot be overstated.
When this 'show about nothing' was criticized for Jerry's bad acting,
they responded with a plot that criticized Jerry's bad acting.
Add to that the best supporting cast ever assembled, and you have
what TV Guide called the best show of all time.

New York Pizza

Yeah, there's lots of good pizza out there.
But try the real deal and you'll forget about all of those.

Gibson Les Paul Junior

The best Rock 'n' Roll guitar tone ever heard is on
1970's 'Mississippi Queen', played by Leslie West on his '56 Jr.
Gorgeous P-90 midrange magic.

'Fargo' (1996)

The Coen Brothers masterpiece.
A delicious combination of off-beat drama, dark humor,
deadpan characters, and a bizarre engrossing tale.
The perfect film.

'Airplane' (1980)

When it comes to outlandish fast-paced parodies, nothing comes close to this.
The genius of bringing Leslie Nielsen, Peter Graves, Lloyd Bridges, and
Robert Stack together for deadpan comedy is off the charts.

'King Kong' (1933)

BV's obsession with fantasy films began at age 4 .. and this one started it all.
Haunting stop-motion animation created this other-worldly beast that
straddled a pseudo-reality and nightmares ..
far more than your average over-sized, irate gorilla.

Jackie Gleason LPs

He was the master of mood music.
Long before BV became a rock 'n' roller, he was mesmerized by
Gleason's lush strings and captivating emotional arrangements.

George Carlin

Credit is certainly due to many wonderful comedians.
But Carlin easily stands alone with his brilliant sarcasm,
perfectly articulated tirades, and scathing political take-downs.

New York Yankees

BV switched to the Yankees in 1995. The teams of Jeter, O'Neill, Williams, Rivera, Posada, Pettitte, and Torre were all business and
the model of commitment and class.
And of course, once upon a time they had #7.
