The Staircase

The Staircase

The Staircase on Netflix It's a hit. See it before you google it. Critics give it 90% and Audiences 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. But we didn't know that. Lisa and I decided to watch with almost no idea what it was. It was on Netflix and had a good review from the New York...

What are Facts?

What are Facts?

Each one of us is alone. Although we have our 5 senses, it is up to us to decide what information is real, and what it means. I remember when I was a little kid I was told that snow is made out of water. Sounded crazy to a 4-year-old, until I saw snow melt. Now it's...

Facebook is Like Sausage

Facebook is Like Sausage

You probably don't want to know what's in it. I've probably spent a few hundred dollars in a decade, boosting a few posts to see how well they would do. If you've not thought about how Facebook makes its money, they like it that way. Everything they do is...

Content is King

Content is King

It should be obvious to anyone who's really paying attention that Trump is getting the hang of it. He's a gifted reality television host, who happens to be President. And I'm not going to talk about politics. There are plenty of channels filled with talking heads who...

King Trump

King Trump

Every commentator must have moments like this. It was 6 years ago I wrote the last Twisted Tune, "King Trump". It was Spike's idea. We haggled over lyrics as we always do, Spike wanted a hit piece, I was hoping to describe just how he'll win and do great things! I...

Haggling

Haggling

I don't like to haggle. It stresses me out because I've been lucky to make a good living. I sometimes feel cheap looking for bargains, and worse when I have to dicker. But there I was, at a Tire Warehouse again. Our Toyota Tacoma pickup wore out its original tires...

Christmas in June

Christmas in June

It was June of 1993. We decorated for Christmas twice that year. Andrew was 8 years old, Keith 10, when I recorded a conversation with them about Santa Claus. I had to turn in my Christmas Album to Atlantic Records sometime in June so the LP’s and…

It Ain’t All Bad

It Ain’t All Bad

If your 2008 self got into a time machine, would you think that 2018 was a true story or fiction? One thing I've noticed is that in this era of lightning-fast opinions, everyone is playing to appeal to social media. Think about that. Howard Schulz might run for...

That Didn’t Take Long

Poor old media companies. They can't win. Even when they do. ABC pretends to take the high ground on Roseanne Barr by ending a number one rated comedy for words said by an actor everyone knows is a jerk. Roseanne's still rich, she'll be fine. Everyone who worked on...
