Blair Pays Up
June was Celibacy Month. Â Blair and I made a bet on The Big Show back then to see who could go the longest without, you know. Like Ray Romano on Everybody Loves Raymond, I declaredmyself a “sex camel”. I was probably going to win – but Blair didn’t even last one night! Â …

RTP #10
I’m giddy at the thought of tonight. I’ve been very lucky to be able to meet so many of the musical heroes of my youth. Â And one of them is coming to London to perform at the 10th annual Rock the Park and because Free-FM is presenting tonight’s entertainment, there’s a very good chance I’ll get to spend a little time fumbling for words in front of him!

Tommy at Stratford
It’s amusing to think that most of the performers in the Stratford Festival’s production of Tommy weren’t born when the double-album first came out in 1969.  But that has no bearing on the show. It’s stellar and it surpasses any attempt at staging Pete Townshend’s rock opera I’ve seen before – and there have been a few. …

Brandt’s Randt – Jerry Lewis Makes Unfunny Comments on Women Comics
Jerry Lewis is a tool. Â Yes, a tool who raised lots of money for kids with M.D. but a tool nonetheless. Â One of the biggest jerks I ever worked with was nicknamed Mr. Telethon and that moniker had nothing to do with his caring personality – which didn’t exist – Â and everything to do with his deep cravings for attention. Â But I digress.
