Love this clip of Brian Wilson and George Martin discussing ‘God Only Knows’ and Brian’s enthusiasm when he thinks George is making the song better — “I can’t believe this is happening!”

More idiocy from Trump. Just fyi: Lake Ontario comes from the Native American name for the lake, and it's been called that since the founding. The Canadian province is named after the lake. "Lake Ontario" is a far more authentically American name than, say, "Mar-a-Lago."

Tom Green and Steven Page singing Maybe Tomorrow (The littlest Hobo Theme) Pretty epic. You forget how distinct Page’s voice is.

Once upon a time, Adam Hadwin made fun of Roger Sloan's tidy penmanship. 12 years later, Sloan kept track of Hadwin's scores this week using roman numerals 😂
