A history of the CIA from post-WWII to 9/11/2001.

I would watch the shit out of a David Simon show on this issue.

Let's pass the hat to finance this project.

I love that

1) Macca has seen and loves the show.

2) Matthew Weiner geeked out about meeting one of The Beatles just like the rest of us would.

Hi, gents!

My question's for Bob. You seem like the sort who has always done what he wanted, musically speaking, between the way Hüsker Dü changed and records such as Modulate.

Was there ever a direction you wanted to go that you didn't take? If so, what stopped you?

Looking forward to catching Bob's gig at The Fillmore in San Francisco later this month! Thanks to you both!

Hey, Al! In a cool way, your work is an encapsulation of music and pop culture in the past several decades, especially the polka medleys. Do you target certain songs to parody because they were big hits and you want to include them in your musical time capsule of that era? Or do you just work with what comes to you? Thanks for all the great work!

Matt, I think you've made one of the greatest shows in TV history with Mad Men. I love it so much.

What was the biggest thing you learned working on Sopranos with David Chase that informed how you've written Mad Men?
