The gimmick of a hyperactive, high-speed, truncated version of a song had failed miserably in my first show, in 1998, and it was a dud here on "Perfect."

Driving home from his practice with an amateur hockey team, he heard Dusty Springfield cooing The Look of Love on NPR, and images swirled in his mind: fuzzy memories of free love and Nehru jackets, trashy movies like Casino Royale and Our Man Flint...
...planet, we have celebrated almost every aspect of the 20th century. but let's face it, it wasn't all good. The past 100 years have seen plenty of dud inventions, foolish decisions and hugely embarrassing mistakes. Here's a list, not in any particular order, of 100 really bad calls.
