“The main problem in any democracy is that crowd-pleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage & whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzy—then go back to the office & sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece.” ― Hunter S. Thompson

The Strokes, “The Modern Age”, live on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” in ‘01. Never gets old. Just saw that “Is This It?” turns 25 today. Hard to believe. #ThrowbackThursday youtube.com/watch?v=ttLn...

I was lucky enough to attend Jesse’s screening of this movie, one of my all-time favorites, years ago in LA. If you can make it to this one, please, do yourself a favor. Murray: Nick, in a moment you are going to see a horrible thing. Nick: What's that? Murray: People going to work.

Thanks again to all the Trump voters who handcuffed all of us to an infinitely corrupt, gleefully cruel, and monumentally incompetent narcissist whose one and only concern on this Earth has always been and will always be whatever is best for him in any given moment.

Glen Hansard’s great live cover of my all-time favorite song by anyone, Van Morrison’s “Astral Weeks”. Rest In Peace, Glen Hansard. 💚🇮🇪 youtube.com/watch?v=H82p...

I have no doubt that I’d enjoy “puppy yoga” because: 1.) Puppies crawling all over me. 2.) It’s impossible to do any actual yoga with puppies crawling all over me.

R.E.M., “Cuyahoga”. Just saw that “Lifes Rich Pageant” was released 40 years ago today and can’t quite process that. Still sounds brand new to me. youtube.com/watch?v=mWPD...

Last week, I discovered the great song, “Beadie”, by Sluice. Hard not to love a tune named after Amy Ryan’s character on “The Wire” that mentions Joe Pera and has lines like: “I cried at the State Fair honeybee tent, hearing how they pick their queen, I got back on the SSRI’s”.

Conan gets directions around the Chicago suburbs on “Late Night” years ago from Kevin Dorff, Christina Gausas, Brian McCann and me. Pretty sure they’re all accurate too. Fun Fact: Tina Fey was in the guest chair during this stoopidity. #ThrowbackThursday youtube.com/watch?v=13e-...
