Greetings to you in Columbus from Canton. Ohio does have a decent rock history beyond just the rock hall... Chrissie Hynde, DEVO, Trent Reznor (technically from PA, but his NIN project started in Cleveland, so I count him as Ohio), Marilyn Manson, and Black Keys just to name ones off the top of my head... John Legend... of course there's also Dean Martin but he's not rock... I know there's more... I was last in Columbus for the 4th of July for the Columbus Crew game that day.

*comedy for the Dean Martin impression.

Such a great performer!

Home with eggnog and Dean Martin.

Everything I see Dean Martin in I swear he's pissed out of his tree. No exception here.

I've seen a few of these modern roasts and also the Dean Martin Roasts from the 70s. Although there's a guest/victim of honor who does get roasted, it's normal for each person at the podium to rip on everyone else. Also, at the end, the "roastee" gets to fire back.

grinter FTW.

I love Milton Berle AND the classic Muppet show. Just watch some of Dean Martin's old roasts, though - I'd hardly call Mr. Berle innocent . He just has a cleaner mouth than the hacks these days.

I love the new avatar. Horrible presidents singers with cute kitty faces are the best. I'm going to photoshop my cat's face onto Dubya Dean Martin right now. Thanks for the inspiration!

Some of my parents records that I liked:

-Herb Alpert - Whipped Cream (I can't tell you how many hours I stared at that album cover)
-Nat King Cole
-John Denver
-Kenny Rogers
-Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water - I practically memorized every word to every song on that album, because it had the lyrics on the back
-LOTS of traditional Irish music records. My dad's parents were both from Ireland. The Irish Rovers were one of his favorites.
-Dean Martin

Ditto! Just replace Styx with Jethro Tull and Kansas with Motorhead, Maiden, and Priest. Prior to that it was my parent's records, Fats Domino, Beachboys, and Johnny Cash.

Did you ever have an extension cord for those big puffy cans? I had a 25-foot extension cord for my phones, so that I could wander all over my bedroom while I rocked out on "Glass Houses", my very first vinyl record. Followed by:

2. Styx - Paradise Theatre
3. AC/DC - Back In Black
4. Styx - Grand Illusion
5. Rush - Moving Pictures
6. Pink Floyd - The Wall
7. Van Halen - I
8. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
9. Pink Floyd - Meddle
10. Kansas - Leftoverture
11. Pink Floyd -Wish You Were Here
12. Rush - Permanent Waves

And the rest are kind of blur after that, but those were my first 12 disciples. I'll always remember.

You may be right, I may be crazy.

Nor did I fall asleep every night wearing big puffy headphones with the curly cord listening to an 8-track copy of Songs From the Attic that I bought at Bradlees with my lawn-mowing money. If you ever hear this rumor it is a complete fabrication.

a videosift roast of Doc_M is like a Dean Martin roast of Pauly Shore...

Oh, and in case you're wondering, here's the whole list (in no particular order):

1) Humphrey Bogart
2) Dean Martin*
3) Robert Redford
4) Christopher Walken
5) Robert Deniro
6) Willem Defoe
7) Paul Newman
Al Pacino
9) James Dean
10) George Clooney**

*Some people would put Sinatra in the list as a representative of the Rat Pack, but I like Dean better. The voice was just as good, and he seemed not to be quite as enamored with himself.

**I mean, come on. Can all our wives, daughters, moms, and sisters be wrong? I think not. But that's not what gets him on the list. He makes the cut because even though they aren't wrong, I don't resent him for it.

If you close your eyes, Dean Martin sounds like Cosmo Kramer
