Just So I Don't Forget This...

Today, the Pope said that atheists can go to heaven, and the Boy Scouts voted to allow gay members.

WHERE THE HELL AM I?!

Here's to you, Norm - kicked out in 1968 as assistant troop leader of 363 because you had weight training pictures on the wall!

Meet The Old Boss

I prayed with Dr. Graham once (and worked at his film studio for 5 years) so does that mean I'm only one degree of separation from Richard Nixon?

For what it's worth, I don't believe any of the recent quotes being attributed to Billy are actually his. Billy was inclusive;  Franklin Graham is the bomb-throwing ass-wipe of the family.

It was THUS

Let me paint the scene...

A Soundelux invite-only screening of the latest Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, hosted by its mixer, Acadamy-award-winning Mike Minkler (his parents were also best friends with my parents, but that's another story.)

Todd AO-Glen Glenn, stage 1, one of the best mixing studios in Hollywood. Massive Screen, state of the art speakers & surrounds. Chilled beer and wine.

Just me, Sharon, and about 10 of my work friends (no Chris; he never does ANYTHING.)

Mike says: "Do you want it loud, or EXTRA loud?"

Extra!!

Then came a show so big, so sharp, and so real, that I actually clapped a couple times by accident.

And the big headliners? RUSH!  Wiping the stage with three cuts from MOVING PICTURES.  The entire R&R HOF became a sea of Rushian  SUPER FANS.

Your humble reporter was in ecstacy, and filled with mean, mean pride.

Beyond Subliminal

So, I guess the One Weird Trick is to hold it in your hand?

 The rest of the audience had a few miles on us (but not THAT many!)



















Leonesse Winery in Temecula

Joe Bologna and Renee Taylor!

Got to meet and chat with two of our favorite actor-writers at the Welk Theater last Friday.  Still amazingly talented, and incredibly open and sweet!

The show was called "If You Leave Me, I'm Coming With You" and was a kind of career summation with some very cool video clips between the live segments.

Nick's Show "Recovered" and Holding Court at Dallas' Baby Shower

Last Friday night, May 3, our whole extended family gathered at the Torrance Cultural Center (the same complex where Sharon and I first saw the Charles Phoenix Slide Show) for Nick's show RECOVERED.

Great, classic rock tunes and more recent hits as realized by the masters at Performing Arts Center West, with Nick acting as amiable host-mime-dancer.

RARE photos of the proud troops greeting the star in the Lobby! Peter Fallon, Legit producer, also attended.

Also, Nick holds court at Dallas' Baby Shower with a bunch of GURLS!
