He was the Grandmaster Flash of chess (Yeah I know he’s older, but bear with me while I break it down for thekids!), and he was one of the most notorious self-loathing jews the world has ever seen. Sure sure, he was a whiz kid, but he went koo-koo somwhere, and he’ll be remembered as […]
I don’t really intend on being mr. obituary man, but I feel the need to note that we lost two ladies of horror recently. Suzanne Pleshette was famous and Maila Nurmi (you know her as Vampira) was more infamous. While she could be seen on reruns almost every night (somwhere, I’m sure) on the Bob […]
Did anyone watch Celebrity Apprentice? I was shocked when Gene got the “You’re fired” from Trump (did you notice that The Donald doesn’t do the the pinch-of-salt gesture when he fires? It’s more of a gun move) last night. NOT! I knew from the previews that it was going to be Gene, but I was […]
It was a different world when Mr. Karcher opened up some hot dog stands back in 1941. Los Angeles was brewing with action, car culture was about to take over,and he would beat the McDonald brothers to the punch by a couple of years. Carl’s is no McDonald’s as far as volume goes, but combined […]

The two who co-wrote Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, and Holywood will be sharing the stage once again. Joining Manson and Twiggy onstage for the […]
Maybe it was it’s because I love Play It Again Sam so much, but I’m quite sure I’d love Oscar Peterson’s piano playing anyway. The world lost another biggie today. That’s why I tell ya; go out and see those legends while you can! I don’t see them getting replaced so quickly, and every day […]
After a long and delayed flight back to New York, it was a great welcome home when our ride turned on Q1043 where Eddie Trunk was in the middle of the infamous Kissmas Special. It wasn’t anything spectacular, but just the very fact that someone is still doing it is a comfort to me. Here’s […]
One by one, the legends are saying goodnight. I just heard him on Sirius a few months ago, and it made me pull out my vinyl copy of Bad Dreams.Here’s some coverage:LA ObserverBBCYOUTUBE VIA MOJO MAG
