I remember watching the truncated first season of "Entourage" and being amused. Then I realized it was just the male version of "Sex and the City" and stopped watching. They were both shows about seemingly hip but vapid urbanites with questionable values that mythologized their self-involved lives.

I’m glad that Kimmel highlighted the attacks on journalists in his monologue. He laid it out in very straightforward terms, and good on him for using this unique platform to do so.

Also good that he talked specifically about the hundreds of crew who would lose their jobs.

Simple and clear.

My Spinal Tap interview is the lead feature on Grammy.com today! We cover everything from David's beef with Paul McCartney to Nigel's dream for them to play in a space station. And was Sabrina Carpenter inspired by the "Smell The Glove" cover?

It feels like everything "analog" comes back eventually. ;)

I loved the second night of the 10th annual A Murder Of Crows goth and post-punk festival on Saturday night. It was a bit of a mid-'90s flashback as I saw many people I first got to know back then, all of whom are still doing their music.

I mainly buy indie comics. There are a lot of good horror books out there too.

It's amazing what brainwashing will do. It's also weird how so many poor people believe that most rich people actually care about them. They just dream that someday they'll acquire that wealth and thus buy into the trickle down BS.

So true. Or society does not encourage creative or critical thinking much. It's all about making money, and too much of a focus on that leads to lack of empathy, even for one's self. Everyone should have a creative outlet to express themselves, even if the rewards are not monetary.

Here's my interview with
georgetakei.bsky.social about his second graphic novel memoir. We cover everything from his "Twilight Zone" episode and "Star Trek" comic book story to how current events echo darker ones from our past.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Sadly funny.

I found my Ozzy interview from Inked in 2010. He gave me twice the time I needed and offered sincere answers. Yet while I understood him during the interview, I slowed my recorder to half speed to transcribe it. 😅 Only Ozzy could get away with that pull quote then.

Ozzy Osbourne, Godfather of Heavy Metal, Dies at 76 Osbourne died just weeks after playing his final show with Black Sabbath earlier in July.

This one's going to hit a lot of Gen Xers hard. Farewell.

I love a good Christmas chiller.

I guess this is where aspiring horror authors say, "I'll have what he's having."

Sadly, many people only develop empathy when something bad happens to them. Or they turn out to suffer the way they thought only the "bad people" would. It's twisted.

Dee Snider recalls how wrestler Mick Foley helped him become a more charitable human being. We discuss his journey into charitable giving and philanthropy.

Same here.

Rural PBS stations could bear brunt of public media cuts. Just ask those in Kansas Congress is weighing legislation that enacts a series of cuts to already approved funding, including $1.1 billion for public media.

This is sad and so unnecessary. And on brand.
