In another reality, Moore would have published Watchmen independent of Dc and who knows where it would have led to. I don't think any creator in his right mind is offering new ideas to the big two.

I just read that Promethea is being placed in the JLA comic. I guess that's what you were hinting at in your previous post, SB.

That feeling when some kid on the internet calls Never Gonna Give You Up, The Rickroll song.

I'm guessing that literally nobody was calling for the integration of Promethea into the DCU. JH Williams III is pretty pissed off too, as he wasn't informed and he is the co-creator of Promethea. He found out by reading Bleeding Cool. And it turns out, they still haven't fulfilled their promise to print a director's cut of a Promethea issue that he did, which is what got him to agree to do Sandman Overture, so I have a feeling you will not be seeing any JH Williams III art for DC for some time. -M

That feeling when some kid on the internet calls Never Gonna Give You Up, The Rickroll song. Now imagine you're Rick Astley himself. You used to be known as 'that bloke who sang a couple of cheesy Stock Aitken & Waterman songs back in the 80s', but it was good enough to show up at some throwback gigs every once in a while. Now you're known as 'that meme song guy', and Millennials come up to you on the street and go 'Am I being rick-rolled IRL, sir??' And you had no hand in creating this situation BTW I actually quite like Rick's voice. I should hope something similar should not happen to, say, Sam Smith in the future.

He sang about 3 really good songs which keeps him in demand in revival concerts, I'm guessing.

Icctrombone ... Thanks for posting that Barbara Eden clip ... I've missed variety shows in the 60's to the 80's ...

You can see that Barbara Eden wasn't a great dancer but whoever choreographed the dance sure gave her sexual moves for her part of it.

The most spectacular of these was the 2008 Macy's Parade, where he popped out of a mundane float to "Rick-roll" the entire live and home viewing audiences! That same year, I attended my niece's High School Graduation. The Valedictorian worked "Never Gonna Give You Up" into her speech and the graduates exited the field to the school band's rendition of the song. I was stupefied and delighted, but most of the audience (North Georgia) were perplexed.

I was unaware Rick was such a good sport about it. Good on him!
