This Ain’t Hanoi, Jane.
I can’t say Jane Fonda and I have anything even remotely close to a “relationship”. But she does have this uncanny knack of making guest appearances in my life. My cousin was fremeies with her second husband, activist Tom Hayden, who besides being her plus-one came to national attention as what the late and thoroughly
Revenge Of The “Nerds”?
I never did go to the NAB Show when I was a position to do so. Many of my peers at more liberally budgeted companies would get to go to the mid-spring confab in Las Vegas for “support”–which was at the time code for “you’re doing a bang-up job, take your significant other and enjoy
The Sun Will Rise Again Over Stage 18
I have a special place in my heart for the Studio City-based facility now known as the Radford Studio Center. It was historically known as the CBS Studio Center, and at least for today is the home of CBS LA’s duopoly and the offices of many network executives who cheered their relocations from the far
The Real News Will Be If Anyone Pays Attention
Whenever someone takes the time to forward me something that they think might make for a decent musing, I’m genuinely appreciative. When it happens to deal with some aspect of research, I’m all the more thankful–it means that at least on the surface they appreciate what has gotten me out of bed for the better
Where’s The Beef? Both On–And With–Netflix
I’m late to a lot of parties–assuming I get invited to them at all. When I did my usual overnight research for last week’s musing on A24, I paid particular note to the premium placement BEEF had on its humble brag list–not to mention the fact that a highly anticipated new season after a significant
Is This House A Little Too White?
I’ve been reluctant to weigh in on the most recent Wag the Dog diversion from the increasingly desperate and demented team surrounding the leader of the free world–picking a fight with the Pope himself. For the record, I find this all as ludicrous and pathetic as anything that’s come out of his diabolical camp–I personally
Why Can’t Every Weekend Be Couchella?
I pride myself on at least trying to be aware of much going on in the world as possible, but when it comes to various aspects of pop culture that often proves to be more difficult. That’s no truer than when it comes to contemporary music. At least when I worked in an office and/or
We Gave Them A Chance To LIV. Now, Just Let ‘Em Die
NOTE: This musing also appears today on our sister site The Double Overtime. Please visit it regularly for coverage of sports of all sorts plus essays on business and technology. I’ve been there for the births of the American Basketball Association, the World Hockey Association, the World Football League, two versions of the United States
24 Reasons To Be Optimistic. And One Not To Be.
NGL, it’s getting more and more difficult to find something upbeat to muse about. Forget about the otherwise immaterial nuisances that the Mets have lost eight in a row (including an anemic performance I endured in person Tuesday night) and the Heat were heartbreakingly ousted from any chance at the NBA post-season via a schizophrenic
