As Brian Howard explained, it used to be "Bjorn to be Wild", but Albert
Brooks couldn't do a convincing Swedish accent, so they changed the name
of the bowling instructor to "Jacques".  And some sources report the
title as "Life in the Fast Lane".  Since I haven't seen any official
confirmation of that title, I consider it apocryphal.

(And even though Jacques is French, I still pronounce the name the English
way.  Rhymes with "flakes".)

ObDYN:  In "Homer vs. Lisa and the Eighth Commandment", watch carefully
when Homer flags down the cable guy's van.  The license plate is
"1NBNW", which clinches the scene as a reference to "North by
Northwest".  Ask a Californian why the first character of the license
plate is "1".

Hmmm...don't suppose you realize that you could probably change your above
phrase to:

"The <random city> <random heavy metal band> Concert"

without any loss of applicability.  To my mind, that was the whole point
of the Spinal Tap scenes, other than the fact that it was a shameless plug
for the band's new album, and that one of the band members is a regular
voice on the Simpsons.  Every second of the Spinal Tap scenes, from the
interview by the local radio station to the plaintive cry for help by 
Milhouse can be summed up thusly:

"It's funny, 'cause it's true"

The US 17 SEP 92 episode will be `Homer Alone'.

Also, an interview with Sara `Darlene Conner on ABC's
`Roseanne'' Gilbert revealed she will be the voice of
Bart's girlfriend...  `She's like the first girl that
he can kid around with, that doesn't get grossed out,
like most girls do.'

For people outside the US, `Roseanne' is an extremely
popular US sitcom starring Roseanne `Barr' Arnold.

Sara Gilbert plays one of her daughters on the show.

    I'm implying that, even though I worked at the DMV for 9 months,
I never heard of any special reason why a vanity licenseplate of five
characters has to begin with ~~1'' ...  so either (a) Raymond is toying
with my mind; or, (b) it doesn't have to do with licenseplates.
    Anyways: vanity license plates can have up to 7 characters, and
none of them HAVE to be numbers.  Come to think of it, though, I think
there must be a minimum of 5 characters, which would explain the ~~1''...

The whole show is predicated on things getting worse for Homer. Homer knows

You seem to have missed the point.  Audiences rioting when rock bands screw
them out of their admission price (by failing to deliver and failing to refund)
is quite commonplace.  It was not a reference to a particular audience
commotion; it was a reference to the phenomenon.
