I remember seeing Bruce Springsteen tell a story onstage about he and his wife Patti Scialfa watching this movie when she went into labor with their first child

Oh, it gets worse, Kerith: 30-plus years ago, as an editor at Premiere, I was able to send a writer to the set. And that writer.. was a sportswriter! The ABSOLUTE legend Shelley Smith.

First rock & roll 45 I ever loved. Older kid from the neighborhood brought it by. A hug in the Tunnel of Love! Big fan of Freddy’s Action, too.

One night I was leaving the MTV offices at 1515 Broadway and, heading north on 8th Avenue, I came upon Martin Scorsese in between setups, telling the crew a story. As I walked past, all I heard him saying was “— a snake. A rat whose name I will not mention…”

I saw Tom Ewell onstage in Waiting for Godot. Where I Went To High School: A group of us were watching TV one night and a promo for Seven Year Itch came on. One of the young women in our group pointed to the screen and said, “My mother used to be married to him!”

Childs — or Childs’, it’s a little unclear — gets a mention in What a Waste (from Wonderful Town) and Manhattan (from …uhhhh…Garrick Gaieties?) Does it matter that it was a chain?

In NYC, you went to the West Side revival houses to see Bergman films. But they ran La Dolce Vita on television.

They’re not playing it live, which ordinarily would be a shame — but without Ian Stewart on piano, it wouldn’t sound nearly as great, would it? This one, Little Queenie, Let It Rock..along with everything else, the Stones played Chuck Berry songs better than anyone else did.

I’d be happy to take the credit, but in fairness this sounds more like a John Norris mitzvah; I was still just the MTV movie guy (who’d seen the Faces in 1973 at Nassau Coliseum.) Here’s John & I around 2000, with our producer Heather Parry.

In her memoir, Carly Simon wrote that during a transatlantic voyage, she and her sister Lucy were approached for a menage-a-trois by Sean Connery, who starred in The Hunt for Red October with Alec Baldwin, hired by NBC for a (never-produced) version of A Few Good Men, whose film starred Kevin Bacon.

Cerf was related by marriage to Ginger Rogers & Rita Hayworth. Ronstadt’s brother arrested the man who killed Rebecca Schaeffer. Schaeffer’s murder inspired the film Moonlight Mile, its title taken from the Rolling Stones song, co-written by Mick Jagger, who sang with Carly Simon on You’re So Vain.

I was in a London record store that summer of ‘79 looking strictly for punk/UK New Wave treasures when I heard Don’t Bring Me Down for the 1st time. WHO IS THIS I asked the clerk; given his accent and my rock&roll hearing, I was still sorting out his answer 10 minutes later. Such a great track.
