For a few moments, I felt as if I had lost a child. I came home from work on Monday to an empty house. I had to stay late for an event at work, so Maria took Bridget with her to the PTO meeting. I figured I would cook myself a small dinner, plop myself […]
I love comedian Dave Attell. I love the old comedy show The Gong Show. Put the two together, and I’m not sure how much I love it. That hasn’t stopped Comedy Central from making that move. “The Gong Show with Dave Attell” will consist of eight to ten off-beat and hilarious acts that will be […]
As I have said before, I don’t have very many heroes. I try to see everyone for their humanity and try not to raise one person above another. But Zach Feinstein, he’s different. Zach has a dream.

As the tour to support “Accelerate” approaches, Peter Buck has started to puff out his chest because, as he puts it, he finally got his way. I always complained and I always suggested that we work quicker and more spontaneously. The other guys weren’t into it. I think maybe the reception (‘Around the Sun’) got […]
