Famous last words: "Maury, I'm one thousand per cent sure (fill in the blank) is the father".

Marilyn Sokol definitely has a set of pipes on her, even if, by her own admission, she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag.

How and why is Maury still pulling them in? Six hundred bucks. That's your payday to sign up and embarrass yourself. Actually, about four hundred and change after taxes. That's enough to pay rent to the trailer park for another month.

Well, like Alan Young, June Foray, and a few others, if you're fortunate enough to make it to your nineties, can you really feel sad for her? Confronting our own mortality is something everybody will face sooner or later. You and me included. So either get busy living, or get busy dying. Janet...

I would really like to think so. I've seen lobbies for gun control as far back as John Lennon's killing (and corresponding mental health reform to go with the nutjob that snuffed him). And in 35 years, how better off are we?

I'm all for gun control (although I can see NRA members' side of it, I don't know if I feel totally safe with them either). That seems to be Obama's go-to plan whenever people get shot up. But while all this is going on, dozens are shot each week on the streets of Chicago. If tighter gun laws...

Part of the blame can be on security, but the killer is equally culpable. He came with the intent to harm her (he certainly wasn't acting in self defense). Even more pitiful he showed how courageous he was by taking his own life. He'll have to stand in front of a just and absolute God, and he'll...

Part of the constant flip-flopping can be blamed on lobbyists. Once upon a time, eggs were so laden with cholesterol they would kill you. Throw a few million dollars at Washington, propaganda comes out how the same deadly eggs will now help kids think faster and breeze through their hectic...

I'll always admire his stand on the Viet Nam war. He refused to go, so they stripped him of his title and he almost went to jail. How many athletes or celebrities today would risk their fame and career to stand by their beliefs?

But none of that will keep your mailman from making his appointed rounds. Unless your mailman is Newman. 8)

At least Flo rebutts that chauvinistic attitude in one ad ("Women don't have JOBS!"). You also kind of root for her in those dysfunctional family ads (hopefully they don't hit TOO close to home for some). If she is able to have her act together in a toxic environment like that, more power to...

Yes, don't waste your time here on this earth. When you're younger, it seems like you have your whole life in front of you. Thirty, forty, fifty, ages like that, that's so far away, right? It might not seem possible to some of you, you'll reach your parents' age someday. No way! That "someday"...

Wasn't Born To Follow was originally recorded by the Byrds (found on the album "Notorious Byrd Brothers"). Seems like they followed the Beatles formula of dusting off old tracks and dressing them up, like "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" from the Anthology series. Like George Harrison said...

For a lot of bands that have been around a while, newer albums often pale compared to past glories. But said bands still make a decent living while touring. There's not a lot in what passes for mainstream music that impresses me. But there's still good music being made in coffeehouses and small...

Iggy (he and I share the same birthday, lucky me) was always regarded as a pioneer of Punk, even if the Stooges never sold many records. It can be interpreted as sour grapes, that bands like the Stooges, and peers like the MC5, Amboy Dukes (all out of Detroit, by the way) never had anything...

For a while after Jim's death, Frank started getting a reputation for being a little... cranky. He's a little mellower now. Maybe he needed some space from his Muppet past. Happy Birthday Frank. May you age like a fine brandy.

SNL cast members, from the beginning, seemed to use the show as a springboard into movie careers. For the first decade or so, it seemed an SNL lead meant box office gold. Foul Play, Caddyshack, Meatballs, Animal House, The Blues Brothers, 48 Hours, Trading Places, Ghostbusters, Stripes, Beverly...

If you think time flies now, the older you get the faster it will go by.

He was also the voice of 7-Zark-7 on the Americanized "Battle of the Planets". Originally a Japanese anime series from 1972 (one of the first), they toned the violence waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy down, made it kid-friendly, and in the wake of Star Wars, created an R2-D2 knockoff, and Alan got the gig...
