Song of the Day – ‘It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over’
Grinding through the week. Stumbled into my favorite love song but this member of the Hollywood royalty. Enjoy!

‘Battle of the Sexes’
‘Battle of the Sexes’ sits in a weird spot. It’s a fun movie while not a straight up comedy; it covers a serious topic while also not being too heavy handed about it. I think that’s why I enjoyed a lot of its individual parts more than I liked the movie as a whole. […]
Song of the Day – ‘Sara Smile’
Blue eyed souling into this weekend. I saw these guys live years ago, so I know how well their catalog holds up live (and with choices like today’s song, maybe even better heard sung in person.) Have a good one gang!
R.I.P. Hef
I was aware I hadn’t seen him make any public appearances in years, but still felt a little sad tonight to hear about the passing of Hugh Hefner. First, the big stuff that everyone will touch on, in one way or another. The magazine of course, which came onto the zeitgeist at the perfect […]
Metaphors Coming Full Circle…
RACHEL: ‘What will you do?’ BRUCE: ‘Rebuild it. Just the way it was, brick for brick.’ ALFRED: ‘Just the way it was, sir?’ BRUCE: ‘Yeah. Why?’ ALFRED: ‘I thought this might be a good opportunity for improving the foundations.’ BRUCE: ‘In the southeast corner…’ ALFRED: ‘Precisely sir…’
Song of the Day – ‘Another One Bites the Dust’
Video One this week is one of the few bass lines I (or any beginner) can play on the guitar. As for Freddie Mercury and this outfit, what else can you say? Hell, what needs to be said?!? Enjoy!
Song of the Day – ‘Black Nostaljack’
A hip hop ending to this week. Spotify threw me one of my favorite albums from my generation, so we’ll go with one of the ‘other’ singles. Man these boys could flow… Have a good one folks!
R.I.P. Frank Vincent
The role player/character actor tribe lost a good one today. In retrospect, the first time I saw Frank Vincent was the ‘fire hydrant’ scene in ‘Do the Right Thing’. Like most of you though, I’ll always associate him with gangster flicks: ‘Raging Bull’, ‘Casino’, ‘The Sopranos’… and of course, this all-time, all-time classic scene […]
Song of the Day – ‘Warm It Up’
Today, we go back to music. Even as a kid, I thought wearing our clothes backward was a stupid fad. Yes of course I did it when we had ‘Backwards Day.’ Enjoy!
‘White Like Me’
Found out over the weekend how deeply my family in Houston was affected by one hurricane, and how old classmates are in the path of Irma. So instead of a musical diversion to start the weekend, we’re going comedy… This, has always been my favorite Eddie Murphy thing. Not ‘Coming to America’. Not ‘Raw.’ […]
