“We’re moving to Houston to put a man on the moon. Anything’s possible.”
—The Astronaut Wives Club, Episode 3, “Retroattitude,” July 2015
I ’m a geezer who covered rock and pop as an entertainment journalist for many years. This song and this concert are from the best album I’ve heard since the Killers’ Pressure Machine in 2021. Thanks to Olivia and producer/composer Dan Nigro.

“We had to find a way and we did. Looking back, we were the luckiest people in the world; there was no choice but to be pioneers.” —Margaret Hamilton
Rest in peace, Margaret. Your trailblazing work leading the development of the on-board flight software for the Apollo spacecraft will forever be remembered. 🫡

Still my favorite record of this decade. A true concept album that’s so personal, so compassionate, so beautiful.
It's odd how people say or write "No words" or "I'm speechless"--which already are contradictions--and then continue to speak or write.
I’m not gonna lie, at the end of the day I’m, like, speechless that people say “iconic” so much that it’s more than you can imagine. (Did I cover all the parroting of hype phrases?)
Her scene as Mrs. Robinson in the rain in The Graduate is my favorite scene in any film I’ve ever seen. That also owes to her costars and director, of course. All can be proud of the dramatic perfection ending with Bancroft saying “Goodbye, Benjamin.”
Celebrating Anne Bancroft born Sept 17, in 1931.
Over 85 roles including The Miracle Worker, The Graduate, The Prisoner of Second Ave, The Elephant Man, The Pumpkin Eater, The Turning Point, Agnes of God, Torch Song Trilogy, How to Make an American Quilt, Antz.
Did You Know? She is one of only 24 performers to achieve the Triple Crown of Acting: Oscar, Emmy, and Tony (as of Sept 2026)

This is actually the best winning percentage in baseball against .500+ teams
Such sad news, but as we grieve let's also celebrate the inspiring life Dolly lived. As an entertainment journalist I interviewed her, and 2 things struck me: She was as warm and kind as I'd heard, and she was a smart, savvy, astute businesswoman. Dolly, we will always love you.

Your daily reminder that Dana Brown absolutely fleeced the Cubs
Loved MTV back then.
August 1st 1981 - A new TV cable network called MTV (Music Television) started broadcasting music videos, 24 hours a day in the US. The show begins with the intro "Ladies and gentlemen, Rock and Roll." The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star” was the first music video to air. I was addicted, how about you?
I can still get my fix of #80s music: "I Want My 80s!"
#MTV Classic: Broadcasts retrospective music videos spanning the 1980s through the 2010s, alongside classic programming blocks.
