Yep. It’s such a bummer for me too when I see actors or athletes I admire in ads for all that stuff.

Love that one as well, Ron. I bet Nina Simone’s version of “Who Knows…” made Sandy Denny very proud too.

My wife Miriam and I saw Corinne Bailey Rae in concert last night at Tarrytown Music Hall. I’m embarrassed to say I only knew a couple of her songs before last night but it was such a wonderful, beautiful, joyful show. And her band is amazing.

Beautiful, Ron, thanks. I first discovered that song as a kid from my parents’ Judy Collins album, “Who Knows Where The Time Goes”. Still love that record.

I totally know what you mean but @wfuv.bsky.social helps a lot. They’ve turned me on to so many great new artists in recent years. Thanks, FUV!

This might have seemed menacing at the start when he was planning his new Reich, but now everyone can see he’s a loser on every front it just comes across as pathetic, a weak, little man desperate to appear tough.

I’m so sorry, Brandi. I’ve only been there twice but I was in awe of the place and the mere possibility of a psychopathic narcissist tearing it down fills me with horror, disgust, and deep sadness.

A point made in this piece is that Trump has destroyed an entire community. For people outside of DC, I can understand why you may not understand. But for those of us from here, its the culture he is destroying that hurts so much. The building is secondary. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

Column | The Kennedy Center is empty and in peril. Its community is in anguish.

The fiasco of this week’s closure reveals the truth of President Trump’s motivations — and what the arts community stands to lose.

By the way, the very nice make-up artist apologized after my mustache came off during the bit but I told her with complete sincerity that it was a perfect gift.

A little backstage video shot at The Kennedy Center last year before Conan’s Mark Twain Prize event. Thanks again so much to the hilarious @nikkiglaser for asking me to interrupt her as a surprise and my apologies for the hideous pulled-back wig. #throwbackthursday youtu.be/GKe61aXlAwo?...

I’m now half-expecting Trump to demolish the Lincoln Memorial if his head isn’t placed on Abe’s body.

Thanks, Mary. The writing staff, lighting crew, director, and editors won the previous week at the Creative Arts Emmys but only the writers who were also producers were up there for the televised show category. Very happy for everyone.
