The Babys

Sorry for being stuck in the past lately, but the reason is that I’ve been working on a show about… the past. More about that later.

And then the follow-up on the Jimmy Kimmel show:

Ben Stein with the young Jimmy [...]

“Life and Death is the Same Thing”

Angry Young Man

So I have this section, “Guilty Pleasures”, which I haven’t updated since the first installation, though I have many. You might think Billy Joel would be a guilty pleasure, but actually: no.

I am not ashamed of liking Billy Joel — the early Billy Joel. Though it’s hard to forgive him for songs like “We Didn’t [...]

Nothing Happens in Milwaukee

I made a photo-blog about adventures in Milwaukee that’s way too long to be a post. You can check it out here.
