No. 240: NORM MACDONALD, TWITTER & ME / We exchanged dozens of dead-of-night messages across two years, but I waited for the right moment before diving into the sensitive stuff.
I'm not killing my account on X for one reason and one reason only--I'm hoping that Norm Macdonald picks up our conversation where he left off & this whole "death" thing is a work.

On my SubStack I have an essay about working at a campus bar where #NormMacdonald did standup & three decades later re-connecting with him for continued correspondence. A peek behind the curtain with the late, much missed comic, not all of it pretty.

I yield to no man my love of Dick Van Dyke but this video will cause a spike in injuries and even deaths among octogenarians and nonagenarians trying to imitate his hoofin’
Dick Van Dyke is the focus of Coldplay’s latest music video, “All My Love.” In a clip, Van Dyke sings, dances barefoot and offers meditations on aging, family and love.
A shorter version of the video will be released Dec. 13 on Van Dyke’s 99th birthday.
