Well, it happens to the best of us. I was wrong. And I owe a couple of apologies. Last week I gave my review of the Grammy performances. In it, I said the following: Bruce Springsteen can still rock it, of that there is no doubt. He looks good and sounds good (although when you [...]

2012 Grammy Wrap-up
Posted in Culture, Music, Television, tagged award show, best and worst, grammy awards, grammy performances, grammys, music, performance on February 13, 2012 | 4 Comments »
Last year I gave my HIGHS, LOWS, and DISAPPOINTMENTS from the 2011 Grammy’s. Not one to walk away from an obvious tradition, I again offer you my assessment of last night’s Biggest Night in Music. I’d like to reiterate my appreciation for how the Grammy’s have evolved: more performances and more action, with only the [...]

Have you found yourself, as I have, hesitant to embrace new shows? When a show you loved gets hacked after one season (or worse, mid-season!) you grumble and curse the network under your breath. “How can you cut _____________, but keep trash like ______________ on the air!?!?!” And then, when it happens again… and again… [...]

Nine more days until my journey to Africa begins. I am overwhelmed with details and packing lists, and assuming that we will arrive for our first concert and realize, “ah snap! We forgot __________ and now the whole show is ruined!!” Okay, so THAT probably won’t happen… but it doesn’t mean I don’t think about [...]
Why the LOST Finale Was NOT Awful

As you well know, my wife and I are (and have been… and will continue to be…) die-hard fans of LOST on ABC. And, as you well know, last night was the epic conclusion to a beautiful story told over the course of 6 mind-bending seasons. The backlash to the wrap-up of the story that [...]

Well, the time has come. As the saying goes, “all good things must come to an end.” The epic, groundbreaking, culture changing, TV programming altering show that is LOST will conclude this Sunday with millions of Americans tuning in for probably a variety of reasons. Chief among those reasons? The Hope for Answers. If you’ve [...]
I’m Fine Being LOST

Last night, the first episode of the final season of LOST aired on ABC. Last night, 12 million people tuned in with great excitement and anticpation. Last night, the brain child of JJ Abrams, and the creative genius of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse began it’s final chapter. Last night was pure euphoric joy. Over [...]
Love Your Enemy: Part 1
Posted in Television on January 25, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about “love.” Not in the gooey, mushy sense. But in the “how do I interact with, and LOVE, those around me.” You know, the ones whom I DON’T love in the gooey, mushy sense. Not just those around me, that I personally interact with, but those beyond my [...]
Best New Shows on TV

I hesitantly thew my interest in to several new shows, knowing that it’s likely that one (if not several) of them won’t last till the end of the season. That said, here are 4 of my favorite new series that I hope survive this (and other) seasons.
