March Madness Brackets Busted? Vote For Don Draper And Co. In This ‘Mad Men’ Style AD-Ness

March Madness Brackets Busted? Vote For Don Draper And Co. In This 'Mad Men' Style AD-Ness

I’ve long loved the TV show “Mad Men.” It’s one of my favorite shows of all time, and, I’m not alone in ranking it among the top TV shows ever made. It also features some of the most memorable, interesting, and charismatic characters created over the past couple of decades on the tube. Don Draper. Joan Hollaway. Roger Sterling. Peggy Olson. And, of course, the Queen of Perversions herself, Ms. Ida Blankenship. I have a number of friends who are also fans of the show, and we’ve long debated who the most intriguing characters are, and chatted about our favorites,... Read More

Time Traveler From 2487 Predicts Alien Invasion, Natural Disasters In 2023

Time Traveler From 2487 Predicts Alien Invasion, Natural Disasters In 2023

They’re baaaaaack. That’s right, the time travelers of TikTok have returned, with more predictions about the future that will probably turn out to be B.S., but are goofy and interesting to read about anyway. The TikTok time travelers are always from different years in the future, but the one thing they have in common is that they believe making TikTok videos is the best way to communicate with the people of our time. Apparently they consider the key decision-makers of our time to be teenagers and people in their early twenties, and middle-aged goofballs like me who are still amused... Read More

Great (Previously) Unreported Moments in Entertainment History

Great (Previously) Unreported Moments in Entertainment History

Of course, everybody knows the important facts about entertainment today — we’ve got so many terrific magazines to tell us about them — but little is known about the pop culture tales of yesteryear. However, recently I sought to rectify that. I put on my Indiana Jones hat, searched for aged scrolls, dug into dusty tomes and haunted musty libraries looking to bring you the stories you just won’t get anywhere else.  And here they are. Here are the last millenium’s great untold moments in entertainment, in no particular order:   * 1450: Johann Gutenberg invents the... Read More

Def Leppard’s ‘Armageddon It’ Should Be The State Song, But For Which State?

March 3rd, 2023
Def Leppard's 'Armageddon It' Should Be The State Song, But For Which State?

Words really can’t express how disappointed I am in lawmakers — on both sides of the aisle — in BOTH Illinois and Iowa. I’m just tired of the empty promises, the delaying, the obfuscation, the laziness in putting off one of the biggest and most profound issues of the day that, again, BOTH parties from BOTH states should be addressing. And that is that neither state has officially adopted Def Leppard’s “Armageddon It” as the official state song. I mean, c’mon people. Or, ya know, in words of Joe Biden, “C’mon maaaan!” Listen, I mean,... Read More

Are You A Human Being? Then You Should Read This Column!

Are You A Human Being? Then You Should Read This Column!

Welcome to the column for all carbon-based life-forms. If you breathe oxygen, this is for you. And if you live on a planet, especially Earth, well, then, you’ve come to the right place. Sorry, but I’m just following the new trend in advertising: casting as absurdly wide a net as possible. Products used to be advertised to a fairly specialized base. Each ad could be counted on to pander in its own unique way. You’d have your commercials aimed at seniors, in which someone sincere who was on TV when it was still seen only in black-and-white would give a testimonial about the product. Said commercial... Read More
