Sorry for the lack of updates. I took a brief trip to Vegas. I’ll post more about it in a few days. But while I was gone, a wonderful thing happened in the Pennsylvania Legislature. A Senate committee cleared the way for six-packs of beer at beer distributors. For those of you who have never […]
Fifteen years ago tomorrow, the history of R.E.M. took a major turn. “Automatic for the People” was released. The band’s eighth album and the followup to the hugely successful “Out of Time,” Automatic is probably one of the most acclaimed album’s in the foursome’s history. Not only has it made a ton of lists as […]
My wife and I used to love the TV show “Ed.” beyond Tom Cavanaugh‘s great acting and the hilarious bets between his character and his best friend, we loved how quickly the wheels of justice moved in Stuckyville. That became our favorite phrase while watching the show. Inevitably, someone would show up in Ed’s office […]
I haven’t bought Bruce Springsteen’s new album yet. I probably will soon – I liked “Radio Nowhere” when I heard it a few weeks ago. I just don’t feel any compelling reason to download everything right away. That said, I’m glad it sounds like the real Bruce Springsteen has returned. I missed him. I have […]
Matt Stone and Trey Parker have done some wonderful things for America. They brought us BASEketball. They brought us South Park. They brought us Team America.

With more than 27 years passed, you would think almost every piece of R.E.M. history would be well out there in the public eye, especially with the band’s support of Internet release of live tracks. You can get pretty much every show recorded back in the early days somewhere. A year or so agao, the […]
As I revamp the show, Charlie Todd from Improv Everywhere stops by to talk about some memorable pranks and what makes improv so great.
Ugh, life and work have been very busy lately, hence the lack of posting. I even forgot/was too busy to do an “It’s the End of the Week As We Know It” post on Friday. I thought about it and had an idea, but then I got carried away with some serious Playstation action on […]
Before Maria and I went on our trip to New York a few weeks ago, I had to pack my bag. I packed plenty of shorts and casual shirts. You know, the things you need to wear to a tennis tournament. Then I went to pack one final thing I thought I might need for […]
They say bad things happen in threes. Charles Nelson Reilly died in May. Now, Match Game panelist Brett Somers has kicked the bucket. Hence the title of this post. Or is it Gary Burghoff with the bullseye now? Or Fannie Flagg? Or – God forbid – Richard Dawson. I grew up watching “Match Game.” I […]
