You ever notice... Right now, just like countless times before, continued flooding in Louisiana. At the exact same moment, 80,000 acres in California burning down. Like clockwork, there always seems to be a flood and fire at the same time. If someone with an engineering degree can find a way to...

So much of society coming apart due to lack of respect. No respect for elders, police (if you have a badge and a gun and can arrest me, I'm NOT going to make things worse for myself), teachers, parents. Not even respect for someone else's opinion.

Good cop bad cop. I've seen plenty on both sides. I've seen plenty of cops commit outrageous acts in the line of duty, and true justice getting smeared because the men in blue stick together, and the powers that be turn a blind eye to the corruption (sometimes they have a hand in it too, making...

Let me try one more time, if you'll allow me this much: I won't sugarcoat and say "Things will get better, grin and bear it". Doesn't work that way. But for something that happened 20 years ago, the only way to be free from that, you have to make peace with your past and leave it there. Or you...

Some people have TRIED to show some genuine compassion for you, not just paying token lip service. Easiest thing to give up. Easiest thing to throw a pity party. Easiest thing to be miserable all the time. Do you think you're the only one that had to deal with crap? There have been some trying...

Some tattoos can be tasteful, even on women. Some can be beautiful and have deep significance, like getting an angel for a deceased loved one. Tramp stamps, all bets are off. Same with body piercings. In my twenties I got one ear pierced. Just one. One diamond stud. Tasteful, even acceptable in...

It is amazing how long he lived. Usually little people like Herve Villechaize, or giants like Richard Kiel (Jaws from the James Bond movies) have limited life expectancies due to their extremes in size. But more amazing, being able to give such a personality to a ROBOT! That took some doing. I...

Johnny Cash, after June Carter passed away.

That is hard to do. There are some contemporaries of the Beatles that sound timeless and ageless ("Waterloo Sunset" by the Kinks) while others are so dated they're embarrassing ("Winds of Change" by the Animals). Van Morrison is another artist whose work holds up extremely well, in spite of not...

I remember Dennis 30 years ago hosting Weekend Update on SNL (yes, I'm that old. Get off my lawn, Billy!) loved him for refusing to buy into any political correctness. Had George Carlin on his HBO show a few times, felt like he was sitting at the master's feet. Not the best match for Monday...

The original jingle, "You deserve a break today" was written and sung by Barry Manilow. And I remember when that was brand new. "Do You Believe In Magic" was originally a hit for the Lovin' Spoonful in 1966. When I was little it was a golden oldie. In less than two years I'll be hitting the...

Further irony, the Captain lost Sam Gibbon, Dave Connell, and Jon Stone who jumped ship to join the Street at its formation. 15 years later, Kevin Clash followed as well.

It would be nice to know Bob, Emilio, and Roscoe have the option to come back if they so desire. I generally don't believe in entitlements, but after each of them put in at least four decades on the show, you'd think they would have at least the SMALLEST say in if they want to continue. They're...

What made Sesame work so well for so many years was the perfect chemistry: 1. Muppets (at least as long as Jim was alive) 2. Innovative animation (Hubleys, Jim Simon, to name but two) 3. Joe Raposo's (and Jeff Moss, not to be ignored) music 4. Jon Stone's direction (set a high standard for those...

Over in England, biscuit can also mean "cookie", particularly a shortbread kind, but also "biscuit barrel" was very loose slang for "toilet". How the Brits pulled that one, is anybody's guess.

Jack Davis NAILED the early Sesame image. And MAD- between him and Sergio Aragones, would be inconceivable without him.

There was a short-lived group called The Best that toured Japan, around 1990. Keith Emerson on keys, John Entwistle on bass, Simon Philips on drums, and Joe Walsh and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter on guitars. Sometimes dreams do become realities, even if just for a handful of shows.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Keith Emerson, Keith Richards, and Keith Moon kick up some dust. Or Peters Banks (Yes), Frampton (Humble Pie), Green (Fleetwood Mac) and Townshend (The Who) duking it out in Guitar Hero.

"Officer Judy" was a very clever reference to a recurring character on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the late 60's by a comedian named Bob Einstein. You might know him better by his most famous character, Super Dave Osbourne (a stuntman whose every attempt at being the next Evil Kneivel...

It would be nice if they saved the one with Robin Williams as the football coach.
