Discovering Laufey

 

 

I won’t pretend to know much about pop music, nor do I have the subject knowledge to write about contemporary artists. Most people of my generation aren’t into the latest hit songs. I’m beyond guilty of ignorance and indifference, as well.

Indeed, how many people over the age of 50 complain that — “today’s music sucks?” When it comes to music, we’ve become our parents — hell, make that our grandparents. I couldn’t name any of the music atop of the charts right now, even if there was a cash reward. If you share this naivete, then please READ ON. I think you’ll get something great out what I’m about to share. At least, that’s what I’m hoping for.

Robert Redford

 

 

ROBERT REDFORD

What a life……adventurous, insightful, inspiring, unpretentious, and purposeful.

Like so many, I grew up with Robert Redford films — both which he starred in and directed.

Review: “Kill Tony” (on Netflix)

 

 

MY REVIEW: “KILL TONY”
(PSSST….DON’T GIVE ME ANY IDEAS)

I just endured the cruel misfortune of watching the opening to a new Netflix special. Ten minutes was as much as I could stomach.

Kill Tony: Mayhem at Madison Square Garden is the name of this dreck purported to be a *comedy series* dredged entirely in shock humor punctuated with an unendurable strain of witless insults. Watching a brimming toilet overflow on Christmas morning would have been more amusing.

Listening to Dr. Michael Baden (Again)

 

 

A funny thing happened yesterday afternoon. Marieta and I were driving to an appointment. We listen to XM Radio and the “Dr. Radio Show,” which is a 24/7 medical call-in program broadcast live from NYU Langone. Instantly, I recognized the day’s special guest’s voice.

Hey….that’s Dr. Michael Baden!
