sorry, not a lot more to choose from save the giveaway...

Musical interlude does not necessarily mean characters breaking into song. And in this case it mostly did not. The average dress size of the female characters [all full-grown adults] was 0-2.

This movie starred everybody. Except me.

He's more associated with Long Island, just outside NYC, rather than the Bronx.

Correction: he DOES have a Tony. No Oscar and no Emmy. He played piano on an early demo version of "The Leader of the Pack" by the Shangri-Las. Played the first rock concert ever at Yankee Stadium and the last rock concert ever at Shea Stadium [home of the NY Mets]. In 2018 he played his 100th concert at Madison Square Garden in NYC. His guest was Bruce Springsteen.

You going somewhere with this?

No. BOTH shows were hits with critics and audiences. Cop Rock was not a comedy.

Name BOTH shows. One was a comedy about members of a certain profession. It was light-hearted and fun. Lots of musical interludes. The other was a drama about the same profession. It dealt with grim topics and serious ethical dilemmas. You would never know they were set in the same universe until one day, a character from the comedy got in an elevator and bumped into a character from the drama. Their exchange was something along the lines of, "You could use a cookie." "Look who's talking!" The stunt was possible because both shows were set in the same city, often in the same building, and had the same producers. It was odd because they were different genres and aired on different networks. Nonetheless, they decided to go for it one year and have a full blown cross-network-crossover, at the end of which the comedy characters, guest starring in the drama, looked at each other and said they didn't want to be a part of that side of their world. It was a critically acclaimed crossover of two critically acclaimed shows. They never repeated the stunt.

His breakthrough album was released in 1977. It contained a number of huge hits that remain well known and still get airplay. He made $3,000 from it. And yeah, he was bitter about it. Good thing he had concerts. Did I say had? Still has. Regularly. Like all the time.

Wrong thread. No idea how. Sorry

George is closer. His last hit song was released in 1994. It was a sleeper. He never won an Oscar, though he did contribute an original song to a Disney movie. Never won a Tony, though there was a jukebox musical of his hits on Broadway. Never won an Emmy, though one of his songs figured prominently in a dream sequence of a major hit comedic drama series. Yeah, he has Grammys.

He played... Matt Cassidy Willie Abbott Anthony Blake/Anthony Dorian Tom Corbett

You associate this artist with another location to the extent you'd be surprised to learn he was born in The Bronx. He started out as a boxer, and won 22 Golden Gloves fights. But he had a strong desire to play music, so he joined a heavy metal band named Attila. That didn't work out for him. Music did work out, though. Today, when he plays a concert, he doesn't allow the venue to sell the first few rows of tickets. Instead, he gives them away to real fans. Not entirely sure how he identifies them. He's written more than 50 hit songs, and the one people identify with him most turns 50 this year.

Broke... every... law... wut?

I'll be here soon

oh duh

OS, I respect your perspective and thank you for sharing it. I think of God in this context as Dumbo's feather. It gives him the power to fly. Without it... Without it he can still fly, but he doesn't know it. He thought the power was in the feather. It was Dumbo all along. You believe Christ turned you around and changed you. I can't talk you out of that, and as long as you're flying, I don't want to. But I will be the guy over here in our greasy corner of the internet cheering you for turning your life around.

That was beautiful

And that's fine. But can you see how similar that sounds to "I've heard all those allegations about Wierwille before. But I'm cliser to God thanks to his ministry than I've ever been." You probably sound to Mike the way I sound to you.

oh he was bluffing should have known

The author was full of it... Yeah! Mark may as well have written about Narnia as Palestine, considering how well he knew the terrrain. Matthew and Luke flat out plagiarize his work and make up historical events we KNOW did not happen (the slaughter of the innocents, ripped off from Exodus) and the census that counted people based on where their ancestors lived rather than where they lived now. No census has ever done that. Ever. Along comes John and turns Jesus from the guy who said "shhh... don't out me until it's time" to the guy who said I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE AND ONE WITH THE FATHER! John has Jesus raise a man from the dead after four days, a man named Lazarus. Amazing that three other people give us an account of Jesus' ministry decades earlier and not one considers this anecdote worth mentioning. Almost like it was made up. Speaking of which, Paul makes up stories about learning the gospel from God and not men, as though getting information from the people who actually walked with Jesus might be a disqualifying factor rather than one that lends him credibility. Of course Paul makes up his story of the last supper and the post resurrection appearances before the gospel writers make up the story of Judas' betrayal, which better explains why he has Jesus seen of "The Twelve." Honestly, if we lived at the same time as the gospel writers and Paul, we would smell something emanating from them, and it would not be fish.

I already have multiple threads waiting for me, or I would answer. However, I cannot believe this movie is stumping anyone.

Got a lot of kids named after him. Coincidence?

Wikipedia takes the place of the absent evidence.
