Stepping Small
Neil Armstrong was laid to rest last week. He lived near Cincinnati, and fittingly, the moon on the night of his burial was full and, as it happened, blue. I haven’t said anything about Armstrong’s passing, because so many others … Continue reading
Nobody did it better
I’ve just read of the passing of Marvin Hamlisch. Damn, dammit, and bloody hell, in that order.

Former NFL linebacker Junior Seau is dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. I learned this earlier today, when I went online at work just to check my e-mail one last time before coming home. I had a few Facebook … Continue reading
From the Books: Lester Bangs on Dick Clark
Awww, dammit, Dick Clark is dead. I’m not old enough for Dick Clark to be a rock-n-roll icon for me; he was a game show host first, and such is how I’ll default to remembering him. “Audience please, may we … Continue reading
Something for Thursday
Well, I missed this feature last week, and I’m late this week, but here we go. I just want to pay a small tribute to Robert B. Sherman, who passed away last week. Sherman was one half of the Sherman … Continue reading
