I fell in love with Jeff Daniels on The Newsroom. Before that, I had no idea how immensely talented he was, and in my opinion, he's not in enough stuff. This is a wonderful person who just happens to act and make music like the star he is. If he had nothing but The Newsroom, he'd be in my top five all-time favorites ... but he's done so much more. I wish I lived close enough to catch one of his shows, but I do own his CDs and love them.

My introduction to Jeff Daniels was a quiet afternoon for which I rented two movies: Dumb and Dumber and Gettysburg. I shut off D&D about a third of the way through, I couldn't take anymore of it. Then I fired p Gettysburg. As the credits rolled at the end I was amazed to see the same man appeared as as star in both Jeff Daniels. I've been a fan ever since. But not a big enough one to finish watching D&D.

Nice job Jeff basically said something to effect of - " here is one that you will recognize- eventually" before they started playing the song.

Me, on the other hand Im an old dude who watched the Monkees show when I was a kid. I also became acquaintances with Louis Shelton, who played the opening guitar riff on the Monkees record. Louis was a guitarist that was also a member of the wrecking crew.

At least those of us that went into uniform did. Those who dodged the draft, I don't think ever really grew up.
