McCartney: Close Encounter
Got to share this with you guys. My nephew was in NY this week with his wife and baby and met his dad in the lobby of the Warwick Hotel.

Anybody into him? He was a big deal in England circa mid-sixties...the first "keyboard" guy in a sea of guitar bands.

Hallellujah!! Christmas Is Almost Over!
Yes, that's right...I think Christmas sucks. Like everything we fallen humans really put our minds to, we screwed it up big time. How else to explain turning the occasion of Jesus' birth into a massive orgy of materialism? The other thing I despise about it is all the cheap sentimentality. It's...- algernon

Warren Zevon: King Of Halloween
I'm sure someone has made this connection before, but Zevon should have the crown. Tonight as I entered my loft I was drawn to him...and EXCITABLE BOY is the greatest Halloween album of all time. ROLAND THE HEADLESS THOMPSON GUNNER, WEREWOLVES OF LONDON, the title track, and the fantastic...- algernon
