Weekend in Review
There was no question in my mind that Erin Davis’s Mourning Has Broken would land on the best-seller list. Boy, I love it when I’m right!

Celebrities
Supportive Stars
Watching the mutual support between Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga reminds me of so many times in radio when that wasn’t the case for me. It’s clear that Cooper and Gaga have true affection for each other. The cold, hard fact is, they’re promoting a movie, but they’re doing it with grace and admiration. When you find that in broadcasting, it’s rare, as I’m sure my radio colleagues will testify.

Real Housewives of Wallaceburg
I’m kidding. There’s no such show, as far as I know. But I’m gloriously oblivious to the many spin-offs of the Housewives franchise. Same with Bachelors, Bachelorettes, Married at First Sights, etc. But it’s been fascinating to peek into their worlds for a while.

Throwback Thursday – Hit Radio Days
Last week, we had lunch with a former radio colleague I hadn’t seen in (gulp) more than thirty years.

My Inner Kathy Griffin
Do you remember the character Griffin played on Seinfeld? As a stand-up comic, she used real encounters with Jerry in her act. It deeply embarrassed him. When he appealed to her to stop, that became a bit, too. That was a character but the real Kathy Griffin is also outspoken, honest and unafraid. No matter what she does or who she offends, I kind of love her.

The Boss, Vulnerable
But, says the journalist, “You’re Bruce fucking Springsteen”!
“Ugh”, replies Bruce. “Bruce fucking Springsteen is a creation.”

Baby, It’s Hot in Here
Those who wish to be society’s moral conscience are at it again. The 1940s cold weather duet, Baby, It’s Cold Outside, is being pulled from radio station playlists as some equate its lyrics with rape culture. Absurd! …

A (Film) Star is Born
This review is only about a month late – not bad! It’s the earliest late review I’ve written in some time. We celebrated my first day without needing a nap by going to a matinee of A Star is Born. …

Review – Not Dead Yet by Phil Collins
Phil Collins gets it. He was ubiquitous for a long time (some say too long) in the 1980s. Even he got tired of himself. …

Where Few Have Traveled
I’m starting the week with a post that’s part fan-letter, part information-sharing via my former colleague, Avery Haines. We were coworkers at CKFM/MIX/CFRB roughly a century ago. We saw David Cassidy and Danny Bonaduce perform together! Now, she’s an investigative journalist with W5 and she’s just back from North Korea. …

My Limit of F***s
When Donald Trump made fun of sexual assault victim Christine Blasey-Ford, I knew I was close. When he walked up the steps of Air Force One with toilet-paper stuck to his shoe, and no one told him, my laughter created a little bit of room for more. But the confirmation of undoubtedly biased Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court nailed it. I’m out of f***s. …
