Yeah, one of my life's regrets is never having seen him live.  Probably in my top 10 of influences in my life as a musician.

On you tube, full set. We were bang in the middle of the front row of a crammed 10000 seat venue. From there the whole experience was immersive.

Keeping it classy in the ATL.

I've always been a fan of her as an actress, but jiminy, this 1 minute as a musician is sublime.

This is going to be a long walk for fairly little payoff.  Everyone knows the 1994 hit film Pulp Fiction, which made Samuel L Jackson a household name and revitalized the career of John Travolta.  There's a scene where Quentin Tarantino has a cameo (as he likes to do) playing Jimmie Dimmick.  Jimmy has three noteworthy traits: he's the person who the two main character seek out when they need to hide a corpse, his wife (never seen) is black, and he casually drops the N-word (something else Quentin likes to do.)  That scene birth the phrase "Dead N-Word Storage" which has lived on on the internet since 1994.  Certainly it's popular with people who were going to find a reason to say the N-word anyway, but even outside such circles, the phrase is a cultural touchstone.  With that in mind, this meme came across my radar earlier:

 

Even as far back as 1994, I thought Jimmy's kitchen looked very dated.  That rage hood reeks of the 1970s.  A few google searches later I learned that "Jimmie Dimmick's house in Pulp Fiction is located at 4145 Kraft Avenue, Studio City, California."  The property is listed in Zillow and Redfin.  It's far older than I'd have guessed, built in 1936.  Also it's $2 million, but that's hardly batting an eye about these days.  The place has been completely redone since 1994.

Very deceptive photo that makes the kitchen look far larger than it actually is.

 

Significantly more realistic shot.  Note in both that the range hood (now an iconic screen-used prop) is there in all its glory.

 

The hallway has a print of the Banksy work of the same name (which is so famous it has its own Wiki page.)

 

Spoiler

As I said, a long walk, for not much more than a range hood and a couple of bananas.
