The last few months have found me more immersed in music than I have been in two decades. One key reason is that I have much more time on my hands than I have had at any time during that stretch. I’m not dating, I don’t watch TV, and I have grown increasingly bored with […]

I have written on other occasions about the New York Neo-Futurists. I have more to tell.
A while back I filled out an audience survey and checked the box next to where they asked for volunteers. I figured why the hell not. If they needed help sweeping the theater or what not, it would be a […]

I don’t have internet yet in my new place, so I’ve not been doing much at all in the way of internet-related things (which has been lovely, actually)…so I would have already written about Sarah Blasko by now, but I haven’t gotten to it until now.
Sarah Blasko with Ben Fletcher at The Living Room NYC, […]
I am heading home after seeing the NY Neo-Futurists. I love them. I cannot help it. They deliver something special when they start their timer and deliver their plays. Sincerity, generosity, compassion…tonight was a perfect example of the qualities I love most about their shows.
I’m moving to Williamsburg…that is, I have moved, and the process […]
Well, where the hell do I begin?
U.S. Taxpayer dollars used by the Bush Administration to support Republican election campaigns. I have to admit that this does not surprise me in the slightest. I wonder why it took so long for this story to come to light? Was it because the MSM are too busy with […]

I was trying to cheer myself up with a picture of a cute pig and I found this adorable pair courtesy of a Google image search:
They are a Tamworth pig and piglet.
When I clicked on the photo to visit the hosting site, I arrived at Fiery-Foods.com. The story sings the praises of some delightful piggies […]

I found this story about fishermen in Alaska angling after sharks. One section of the story bothered me quite a bit:
In kayak-angling terms, it’s called a “sleigh ride” — what happens when a hooked fish swims away furiously, pulling the kayak and angler along.
It’s the equivalent of catching a good wave while surfing or riding […]

Tony Wilson died yesterday because he had cancer. I really hate cancer.
Read about how he left an indelible mark on the music business in this story at BBC.com and share with me a moment of gratitude for the man who was “there” and who made sure we were there, too.
I finished reading T.C. Boyle’s latest book “Talk Talk” riding home on the A train yesterday. I have been a fan of Boyle’s since I read his first novel “Water Music” a quarter century ago. “Water Music” is bold and brilliant. “Talk Talk” is razor-sharp and tough-as-nails. Boyle is a master […]
