On October 25, 2012, the Rifftrax Team of Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett hosted their 7th Rifftrax live event. They riffed Birdemic Shock and Terror along with the short Norman Checks In. ("Rifftrax Live: Birdemic", Rifftrax, Event)

You know what's weird? I don't even remember doing this... and it's a very good costume! Apparently done in a sick, psychotic, amnesiac blackout or something. And for what? Am I scary at all? I mean, look. LOOK.
The final records weren't always meant as such as we have seen in our cases here. While we mostly mentioned some bands in that regard, even solo musicians make their last albums without being aware this would've been their ends. I mean, Prince settled on a certain groove on his later records, where one cannot claim he coasted on his former glories, he just did what he wanted to do like always. Still, these later LPs showed we took him for granted before his death. I agree, few of these attempts reach the heights of his 80's, though there are some gems in them that present you with someone who could still be capable of greatness, he just needed a brave editor to focus. You are correct – who would've been foolish enough for that?
