I do. Guy was awesome. Someone you'd want to do this with…

Wonderful reviews from a real nice dude. Definitely missed

TA legend

I think everyone who has been here for a long time misses Fast Fred.

Saw movie XYZ....

Great reviews and a million stories about his musical exploits. Dude was one of a kind.

Fast Fred was a small town dentist who played guitar in a local cover band and went to a lot of concerts during his Baby-Booming formative years, which was a prime time for the dawn of great rock and roll. I don't remember all the bands he saw, but it seems like they included everything from Elvis to the Beatles to Hendrix.

But the cool thing for the long time Entertainment Boarders is that he was a hell of a good writer with a passion for movies and movie reviews. His reviews were professional level, so we pretty much had our own personal Siskel or Ebert during his heyday.

Before the days of Spotify, he was also the ultimate playlist maker. Remember his annual Halloween playlists?

Man, I miss his presence on this board.

always loved his signature:

Before the world wide web, village idiots usually stayed in their own village.
