Did anyone else notice the barely-reported death of Tom Robbins? He was among the greatest authors published in the last 100 years, and wrote Skinny Legs and All. He and I shared a number of postal mail convos - he was generous with time and advice. Rest in an exotic beer garden, Tom.

Tom Robbins, the author who wrote my favorite book of all time, has died. Skinny Legs and All is the best book I've read. Give it a read in Tom's honor (we exchanged snail mail and h said I could call him that).

Chuck Mangione was a local hero here in podunk Rochester NY. We're also proud of Lou Graham, Cab Callaway, and...another famous person, probably.
But, for some reason, little bursts of concern for Peggy Hill keep washing over me.

Ozzy Osborn At Last Descends to Claim Hell's Throne as Lucifer Respectfully Steps Aside
RIP, Ozzy. I haven't seen a respectful enough headline yet, so I wrote it.
Look, I'm retired. I shouldn't be the one I have to do this, but the press at large left me no choice.

The first feature length anime I saw is the art form's breakout performance, at least in the US. Anime wasn't new, but it went largely unnoticed. We were calling the technique "Japanimation" before Akira. I've rewatched it a bunch of times and there's always something new to spot.

I'm so out of touch with current events, I didn't know about the pink moon. I don't even know if it happened in the Western hemisphere. In fact, my first thought was that it was going to be a remaster/reissue of this. Which would be a bad thing.

Fair price for a live pay-per-view of Kamala Harris putting on a long thick glove and shoving this in and out of Agent Orange's asshole for 2 hours while he screams for Putin to rescue him? How much more for a bonus extra to watch her wiggle and twist it up the hole on the tip of his lil mushroom?
