The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Has “Jumped The Shark

December 17th, 2009 · No Comments

I have always been uncomfortable with the concept of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Something so subversive, so historically anti-establishment shouldn’t have a hall of fame, or at least, it shouldn’t be in the beautiful I.M. Pei designed building in Cleveland (although I have visited the HOF myself). It should be down an […]

• It is very sad to hear of the silly death of Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chris Henry. Apparently, during a fight with his fiancée, she drove off in a pickup truck. The 26-year-old Henry jumped in the cab of the truck, but fell out of the truck. He was found on a residential road […]

On Your Radio – Shameless Plug Aftermath

November 13th, 2009 · No Comments

Well, it turns out that I didn’t have a portable radio to listen to this morning’s Lin’s Bin on WXRT. A question I sent in many years ago was used as grist for the mill on Lin Brehmer’s show this morning. He sent me an e-mail to make sure that I was still training bankers, […]

Shamless Plug

November 12th, 2009 · No Comments

If you happen to be near your radio tomorrow (Friday, November 13, 2009) at approximately 7:15AM or 6:15PM, turn on WXRT to Lin Brehmer’s “Lin’s Bin.” I guess that Lin will be answering a question from your friend and humble narrator (me). I don’t know what the question is (was); it was a long time […]

Once A Punk, Always A Punk

October 28th, 2009 · No Comments

I’ve never liked Andre Agassi. I have always respected his tennis talent, but I’ve never thought much of him (and its not because he married the object of my extreme lust, Steffi Graf). It started when he was just getting famous. I was in London in 1991 during Wimbledon and Agassi was the new hot […]
