How strange must it be to be an infant. You wake up, a familiar friendly face giggles and coos at you, changes your clothes and diaper, feeds you, and then hands you off to another vaguely familiar face, that takes you outside and puts you into a car. You fall asleep. You wake up in […] In my ongoing project to make hip-hop music accessible to aging white folks, I give you the first verse of “Scenario,” originally by A Tribe Called Quest, as performed by Trent Lott: Here we are, sir. Here we are sir. What is your current situation? Here we are, sir. Here we are sir. What […] *hack* *cough* *sniff* *snort painkillers* Sick.

In an effort to limit my girth, which has once again neared Rosie O’Donnell proportions, I […] If you want to party, let me tell you, Seaford, Delaware, is the Place To Be. There’s a Friendly’s, and a Walmart, and a strip club right next to the middle school! And you thought London was classy. Okay, I’ll stop burning Seaford, because it really is a nice little town, and also because […] John Mayer’s new CD, “Continuum,” came out about 3 weeks ago, so it goes without saying that I have been listening to it largely non-stop for approximately three weeks. I thought it might be a nice idea to give a quick review of the CD, but first, a couple disclaimers: I am singularly unqualified as […] |
