Friday Aftenoon Theme Music: December 14
Posted on December 13th, 2007 by Jonathan Dalton
This one’s for you, San Diego, my home for the past three days. Sort of.
After re-watching Anchorman for the 712th time I can’t tell you how much I want to head over to Tino’s to hear Ron Burgundy play jazz flute.
But I can’t. I can’t even throw a burrito at Jack Black on the bridge because the bridge is located in Long Beach. Maybe they didn’t get permission to film on the bridge to Coronado Island.
Speaking of which, that’s the most depressing object in San Diego. Seriously, can we have one more sign providing the number to the suicide hotline and urging us not to jump? Is this a common phenomenon in San Diego – people throwing themselves from the bridge?
In any event, today’s song is connected only because it appears on the soundtrack for Anchorman and at the end of the movie. And it always makes me think of wood paneling and fully mirrored walls like in my parents’ den in Panorama City some 30 years ago.

Regarding the Coronado Bridge and suicides? Only happens when the local real estate market tanks. That’s why they had to put up the Hotline phone #’s, again.
It was great to meet you last night. Next time maybe at World Famous.
Works for me, Steve!
