Yeah - an entire, hour-long "Star Wars" parody episode.

Pioneering bebop jazz pianist Bud Powell would have been 87 today. As it turned out, we only had him around for 41 years as he died just short of his 42 birthday in 1966. Michael B.

I don't recollect that scene specifically - have to go back and look again. There's enough hilarious stuff in there that it tends to blur together.

Referencing two iconic singer-songwriters raises some red flags. How apt a description is it for Regan's spare, acoustic debut, "The End of History"?
