Yeah … I kind of wish I had gone toContinue reading “AT LEAST THESE ERRORS DON’T AFFECT THE WHOLE WORLD”

First there was the Pistons. Then Peabs retires only to realize how important he is to our country this election year, and without warning, he pops back out of the woodwork. Then apparently the party of the century was thrown for Grambo’s 30th. Next thing you know, the blogosphere is rocked with the announcement thatContinue reading “IT’S APPARENTLY ALL ABOUT MICHIGAN”

I’m off to The End of an Error Kerry benefit show tonight, but if I wasn’t, there’s a good chance I would be heading over to The Living Room at 7 PM before heading uptown one block later in the evening to Luna Lounge to check out Morning Theft, who a bunch of people seemContinue reading “I KNOW I DON’T TALK ABOUT MUSIC THAT MUCH, BUT …”

Just a little continuing reminder about TCM’s “Summer Under the Stars” programming for this week: today is all about Henry Fonda, tomorrow shines the spotlight on Jean Harlow, Thursday features Laurence Oliview and the week wraps up with Doris Day.

Actress Fay Wray passed away yesterday at the age of 96. Although Wray appeared in over 90 films throughout her career, she will always be remembered first and foremost for being dragged up the Empire State Building by a really big gorilla in the original 1933 classic King Kong. She really became the all-time iconContinue reading “R.I.P. FAY”
