How Dare They?

How Dare They?

We interrupt this program. In this day and age of infinite channels, of smartphone alerts, why interrupt any program? If there's a true emergency, such as a devastating tornado headed for my town, or worse, an asteroid is about to destroy the Earth and there's nothing...

My Summer Vacation

My Summer Vacation

What if the only human interactions that really matter are your "in person" relationships? I know. I'm writing a blog. I get the irony. But every time I unplug these days and have good times with regular analog people, it feels like a better choice than posting...

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...

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…
