‘60 Minutes’ Season Premiere Sees Dip in Ratings
Just under 8 million people watched Sunday’s season premiere, down 21 percent from last year. Viewership for the N.F.L. lead-in fell by about the same.

You’d think the FBI Director would have more important things to do with their time than going after trolls.

Serious question: Are Senators like this a symptom of our national disease, or the cause?

It pains me that AIPAC has become a bunch of rat f%#ckers. What they did to Tom Malinowski in NJ is one of the worst own goals in modern politics. Why are they so awful now?

I'm sure you've seen the 500 songs podcast epic on this song. If not, certainly worth a listen.

Thank you for reading it. It’s just so preventable with cholesterol medication. I’m just glad it was caught before any damage to my actual heart occurred. The arteries were toast years ago.

Some alltime both-siderism from WaPo today. They’re operating on such a high level. Master class.

Hey can I share something I wrote with you? I just had life-saving heart surgery. I wrote about my whole stupid, preventable ordeal here: www.facebook.com/share/1HUZhg...

Just don’t make the same mistake I did. If you need to be on cholesterol/blood pressure meds, don’t ignore them.

Rick Kronberg @rickskron.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
Thank you for reading it! Yes I’m super young for this. But there’s no great meaning or purpose. I just have a stupid body that makes too much cholesterol. I should have been on meds for it but I wasn’t. That’s all! Happy birthday!! How does it feel?

Rick Kronberg @rickskron.bsky.social · 03/07/2026
I’m getting better. It was all because I was careless and didn’t go to the doctor and didn’t take the cholesterol meds I very clearly needed. Don’t know if you’re on Facebook but I wrote about the whole ordeal here. www.facebook.com/share/p/1E3R...

Love Winter Hours. Yet here in NJ I’ve never met anyone who has heard of them. On a personal note, I’ve been off Bluesky for awhile. I had an emergency triple bypass two weeks ago. Ouch!!!!

Is there a Buffy cast curse? Now 3 of the main actors have passed relatively early. Appropriate song here by Anthony Head's brother Murray who has a better voice than One Night in Bangkok would lead one to believe. I learned about this from the Scott Miller book www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GbY...

I would bet anything Bari Weiss believes she is doing a spectacular job. What I want to know is how the Ellison son is escaping any blame for this. It's his marching orders she follows.

How does David Ellison escape blame here? It's his station. She's following his marching orders. She's just a useful idiot.

Why are we supposed to believe these numbers? Seems like they’d be the first thing a Trump flunkie would skew.

It’s going to be spectacular watching 60 Minutes tank next season. Cheering on Bari Weiss’s failure is something that unites us.

Spoken like a true Secretary of War. I’m starting to think getting a Fox Weekend host to serve in a key cabinet position was a bad idea.

Ethically that qualifies her for Speaker of the House.

I love Trouble Every Day which I listened to after your podcast. I actually saw him live at a New Jersey college in the 80s. I remember a lot of song parodies about Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker the televangelists, and a faithful version of Stairway to Heaven.

i need to hear Freak Out. I missed that one during my teenage Zappa phase. I just listened to We're Only In It for the Money which I adore, and tried to convince my 15 year old brain that I liked Uncle Meat.

If it were anybody else I would start spouting off 1971 albums but out of my profound respect for your work I'll start listening to a lot of these, which I haven't heard. Thanks for the list...I'll add one. Mississippi John Hurt, my favorite 'blues' act, released Today in 1966.

Great player. Historically great, even. Not exactly fun to watch.

Rick Kronberg @rickskron.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
That all depends on where you rank Like a Rolling Stone and Satisfaction LOL. How about for rock albums? This is something I think about far too much for an adult. 1971 is tough to top. Along with 77 and 87 which was an absurdly good year.

It's a shame our society is so distrustful we can't just believe Trump's doctors.

Rick Kronberg @rickskron.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
1966 is quite a year but for singles I'd say 1965.
