Jordan Hoffman, your friend.

Some nutcase in my neighborhood has deployed full on massive outdoor Xmas decorations.

Unless his house is going as December 25 for Halloween, this is unacceptable.

Growing up in Central Jersey I was primarily in the NYC sphere of influence, but with precision antenna magic I could get Philly stations. I certainly spent some quality time with this guy.

Legendary WMMR Personality Pierre Robert Passes Away. Philadelphia rock radio mourns the loss of legendary WMMR personality Pierre Robert, who was found dead at his home today. A fixture at 93.3 WMMR since 1981, Robert was known

Listening to WMMR memorialize the legendary DJ Pierre Robert, who died today at age 70. Radio DJs like him are comforting old friends; their voices and music knowledge bring solace and make you feel less alone. www.insideradio.com/free/legenda...

Oy!

I want whichever one it is that ensures it isn't dark at 4:49 pm.

Getting rid of the penny is Trump’s only “well, gotta hand it to him” for me. If he nixes changing the clocks that will be two.

I used to listen to him for three hours on the radio every night in the 80s. One time after he got a crank-call and hangs up on the guy, he goes “We think we have control of these things. We don’t.” I’ve never forgot that for a variety of reasons. 

At 11:13, King asks "Is Memloch a complicated person?"

Rice: "Memnoch? Yes, he is."

King: "Memnoch, I said Memloch. Memloch ain't bad either!"

At the 7:33 mark Larry King shouted MEMNOCH!!!!

Soon thereafter he asks Anne Rice "Are you Jewish?"

By this measure only Sliwa remains clean as a high school dropout.

They still hit, as the kids say.

The man you smell is within you

Important Jewish content.

I have been made aware of a recording artist named Hildegard von Blingin’ and felt the need to tell you, too.

Go See the Springsteen Movie Just for Jeremy Allen White The star of “The Bear” is doing a lot more here than trying to be a carbon copy of a famous guy.

Jeremy Allen White does *not* fully transform into Bruce Springsteen in DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE. And that’s why his performance is great. www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/jer...

The Infinity of Jack DeJohnette The drums are almost beside the point: It was his absolute presence in every musical situation, across a half-century, that made him one of the creative giants of our time

Here's a terrific piece by Hank Shteamer on "The Infinity of Jack DeJohnette" with a full session of embedded links showcasing his versatility.

Must point out that WBGO (88.3 in NYC/NJ and www.wbgo.org) has been honoring Jack since yesterday in heavy rotation and plans to do so throughout the week.

WKCR-FM (89.9 in NYC area, online here: www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/) has programmed a 16-hr marathon broadcast celebrating the late Jack DeJohnette

HUGE problem in IT: WELCOME TO DERRY - the kids reference aliens probing anuses in 1962, but the first anal probing alien story was Barney Hill - who in April 1962 had not even done the hypnotic regression that would allow him to remember it!

I don’t the movie is a masterpiece but I do think it is a RICH TEXT.

At the end of DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE Bruce’s dad asks him to sit on his lap.

At the end of “Nebraska” the Charles Starkweather character asks if Caril Ann can sit on his lap as he is executed.

If she can fly a helicopter she can run New Jersey. I cast my vote for Mikie Sherrill.

Noel, this means the world to me! Gonna toast your name with a slice of Federici's pizza later today.
