I’m still in shock and saddened over this weekend’s death of George Carlin. I found this op-ed by Jerry Seinfeld in today’s New York Times and wanted to share it.
My parents always watched George Carlin’s specials…so I basically grew up on his jokes.
I’m assuming he’s in a better place now and is looking down and [...]

It’s as classy and sophisticated as the man who created it. Its packaging is reminiscent of an exotic and romantic Asian culture and its sweet smell lingers to this day – 30 years after it was first sold to the masses.

I remember it was very hot and humid that day. And the pavement was even hotter at around 120-degrees.
Twenty years ago today my parents and I (12 at the time) crossed the state line into California to watch my third ever concert - INXS at Cal-Expo in Sacramento. (For the record, Run DMC and the [...]

This week while watching FOX I was almost nearly bombarded by Pepsi Max commercials featuring Haddaway’s ‘What is Love’ song.
Whoa whoa oh..
What is love
What is love
What is love
Baby don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
no more
Don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
If you have been living in a cave for the past decade or so, you probably best [...]

In case you missed this morning’s Today Show.
I smell another summer reunion tour don’t you? Think they should change their name though.

It’s been a long time, but now new episodes of ‘My Name is Earl’ and ‘The Office’ are back tonight!
And what song do they use to, I guess, to re-promote it? John Sebastian’s Welcome Back!

Sad thing is, [...]
