Stephen Furst, the actor that played Kent “Flounder” Dorfman in the iconic comedy film National Lampoon’s Animal House, passed away on June 16, 2017 Our friend + LOUIE advisor Stretch Riedle wrote: “He stopped flopping around and went to the great fishing hole in the sky.” Rest in peace, Flounder! (Yes, this […] I stumbled over an extremely rare archival recording by The Replacements doing THE SONG live in Chicago during their semi-recent reunion tour in 2015. It’s definitely NOT a soundboard recording, and it’s not even 20 seconds long… but hey, it’s f-in’ LOUIE LOUIE by the Replacements!! A rarity? I’d say so…. As we […] Today I was deeply saddened by the news of the passing of our friend Michael Slavko, aka M. Dung, as shared on Facebook by his fiancee Judy Crum.

The Nancy comic character was originally created by Ernie Bushmiller in 1933, and has continued, thanks to the talents of Guy Gilchrist, who’s been drawing Nancy’s adventures since 1995. Big […] I recently watched “Danny Says,” a documentary about a music industry insider by the name of Danny Fields. As someone that worked with David Peel, who passed away last month, I knew about Danny, and various people recommended that I see this documentary. I knew that Danny not only helped get Peel signed to […] I’m a bit swamped by various things going on right now, so I won’t be assemble a fresh blog post this week. Instead, I’ll simply recycle and update a posting from the past for a “Flashback Friday”… Three years ago, my friend Christopher Doll, of Rutgers University, gave a special presentation at the […] Last week, Orme Radio of Italy celebrated International LOUIE LOUIE Day with a lively 90 minute special! They closed the show with a wonderful LOUIE I’d never heard before – a French band known as Calamity Jeanne, the Pocket Orchestra.
