‘Parks And Recreation’ Almost Entered The 36 Chambers
Can it be that it could have all been so simple? I’m sure you’ve seen NBC’s hit comedy Parks And Recreation with its lovable comedic cast of misfits doing lovable comedic things. And even though the show has its share of characters that shine in their own way, none of them know vital skills like the mystery of chessboxing or own essential props like fang-shaped gold teeth.

If I was being serious, I’d post this Scorcese-directed clip of the maestro performing an unchecked, unstoppable version of “Devil Got My Woman” from the director’s Soul of a Man.
