Here's a Mother's Day monologue I wrote called "Dark Side of the Moon," performed at the Ruskin Theatre in Santa Monica on May 12, 2024. It starts out about my mom, then gets into some other stuff.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Fawn Hall marrying Oliver North is nowhere near as surprising as her working the checkout counter at Book Soup in Hollywood. I saw her there all the time.

Scarcely a week goes by that I don't think of this chart, a YouGov survey of what Americans think is the size of various minority groups, versus the size they actually are.

I have the honor of setting down a few thoughts in words about one of the most important musical figures in my life. May he rest in the knowledge that he gave voice to sentiments many struggle to express.

I wrote about Colbert for the Guardian. It started out talking about the politics, but then it just became a sort of love letter for late night television.

You gotta read this — it's the ultimate JJ Abrams story, with an audio treat at the end. Beyond brilliant.
OK, so here’s my JJ Abrams story…

Before I started working in digital restoration one of my primary jobs in post-production support was running the in-house theater and screening rooms at work. Every now and again it would get booked for casting sessions, because it was perfectly suited for that…
Happy birthday to the composer of the theme music to the nonexistent 70s private detective TV series “Chuck Taggart, Private Eye!”

That’s one hell of a story. I suppose it’s about time I told it…

This is a tremendously good interview with a tremendously good actor. I read it twice. It's incredible.
Jason Isaacs Might Say Too Much
The White Lotus made him go viral, but the actor has been stirring up trouble onscreen for decades. What he’s seen behind the scenes is crazier.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

In hindsight, it is hard to fathom what the fuzz was all about, but Swansea Sound have managed to pinpoint the differences between the two with glee. Bonus points for the fuzzy guitar and on point drums.
