LOS ANGELES (AP) — Forget the DVR.

Not this time. Not after this long of a wait.

Millions of fans actually watched the season-two finale of the ABC drama "Scandal" the old-fashioned way: on a TV screen, as it was fed from the network to their local affiliates.

But a crowd of approximately 700 at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in North Hollywood experienced this "Scandal" episode differently Thursday night.

"Inspiration Information/Wings Of Love"

(soul-patrol.com)--This is a great album. I have been waiting for this album to appear since the mid 1970's. It's the best album I have heard so far in 2013.

The original "Inspiration Information" has actually been a key influencing factor in my thought processes and behavior since I first listened to it in 1974, via WAMO in Pittsburgh.

Since that time I have probably listened to it more than any other single album I have ever owned, with the possible exception of Miles Davis "On The Corner."

CANNES, France (AP) — Before "Fruitvale Station," Michael B. Jordan was glimpsed sporadically in supporting roles on TV shows like "The Wire" and "Friday Night Lights," and in films like "Chronicle" and "Red Tails."
