An astronaut in a space suit on the moon lounges in a lawn chair, watching Duran Duran's Rio video on an old CRT TV. Their backpack is propped up next to them on the chair. An American flag is to their right, and a stack of 6 books is stacked next to the TV ( Spines not visible. I tried, BookSky creepers! :) ) A blue medallion above the TV reads: Celebrating 40 Years of Music & Debauchery! Cover text reads: "Compulsively entertaining, hugely edifying, and occasionally profound." -Time I Want My MTV The Uncensored Story Of The Music Video Revolution Rob Tannenbaum and Craig Marks Revised With Exclusive Interviews.

A fascinating oral history of MTV's first 10 years.
You know: when it was cool.

Be the person you are when you take a selfie.

Congratulations and best wishes!

Here’s a crazy idea that’s totally contrary to the essence of social media: what if this Thanksgiving, we allowed people to eat the foods they personally enjoy, without trying to diminish that joy by criticizing them?

Fans of Duke college basketball, the Miami Heat, and the Dallas Cowboys must be very excited about the Dodgers winning the World Series.

Most depressing day of the year for Bobby "Boris" Pickett.

I talked to Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey about the Who's farewell tour of N. America and why they didn't quit after 1982's "farewell tour." Also, Daltrey explains the one condition that would have to be met before he agreed to make another Who album. Enjoy the #giftlink. t.co/lM00n6LgyI

What’s the big deal with Trump meeting Putin? All of us get performance reviews at some point in our careers.

My new band is called The Squeegees. We do Squeeze songs in the style of The Bee Gees. I don't expect us to be popular.

The AI explosion means millions are paying more for electricity Across much of the eastern U.S., electricity bills have jumped. The reason? Data centers required for AI and other tech wonders are driving up electricity demand.

If you have friends who voted for Trump because they believe “illegals” need to be deported, and those friends aren’t incensed that ICE is also deporting U.S. citizens who are people of color, then “legality” was never their motivation.

Compare and contrast. Only one of these headlines can be true, and gee, I wonder which one it is. Anyone?

Full disclosure, Pennebaker later claimed I had maliciously misquoted him. His publicist stopped bothering me after I told her I'd recorded and transcribed the entire interview, and it had been fact-checked.

Middle age starts when you're closer to the next time you poop your pants than you are to the last time you pooped your pants.

It had been a full ten hours since my last gummy. Also, hey!

There isn't a real grownup in sight, which is routine for a kids movie, but Tutu, Mrs. Kokoa, and Cobra Bubbles are sympathetic allies for the kids, rather than mustachio-twirling villains.

Took my son to see the "Lilo & Stitch" movie this weekend, and I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard in a theater. Part of the appeal for adults, I think, is seeing kids struggle with being surrogate parents -- Nani is Lilo's parent, and Lilo is Stitch's parent.

Good thing you know where to text me.

Good point.

Also, where can I buy that salmon colored blazer?

80 Years Young, Rod Stewart is Still As Sexy as Ever The rock legend talks about his impressive career, family, famous friends and his railroad modeling hobby. Plus, we recommend essential songs by decade.

There are things in life better than talking to Rod Stewart, but there aren’t many things and I’m having trouble remembering them right now. So please enjoy my interview with Rod, which covers many topics, including his health, retirement, and a new Faces album. www.aarp.org/entertainmen...

(Not) too soon.

They Tried To Kill Us, We Survived, Let's Eat, by Good For The Jews from the album Songs Even The Goyim Might Like

Which is the greatest Passover song of all time? Is it "Dayenu," reportedly written by God, or "They Tried to Kill Us, We Survived, Let's Eat," which I wrote? Pretty sure my song has a better hook.

Wow, the biggest Tesla bull, Dan Ives, just slashed his target on the stock by 43%, citing a brand crisis caused by Musk and Trump's trade policies.

To all those who showed up at protest nationwide or turned in your Tesla, thank you! Take a bow.

Donald Trump is holding a $1 million dollar-a-person candlelight dinner tonight at Mar-a-Lago.

How incredibly tone-deaf as he's crashing the economy and the stock market.

Right wingers are always talking about "the racism of low expectations" without ever talking about the racism of racism.
