Eminem, wow!

wow..it's been forever. I know. I'm sorry. I am doing facebook now and radio commentaries and they kind of take the place of the blog. but i just saw something that requires more words than on facebook takes. I felt like staying in bed Sunday and while channel surfing I came across a cable station Fuse which is hiphop I guess and they had a top twenty run down on Eminem. I have always liked the few things I'd heard but now I know why he is considered the genius, number 1 rapper. Wow!! what amazing videos from the beginning of his career to now. His alter egos...slim shady,
real self, marshall and on and on. His rhymes are every bit as brilliant as Stephen Sondheim's in another genre. I'm reading Sondheim's book Finishing the Hat in which he writes about how he does it..and Eminem does it too. The cleverness, the heart, the talent is amazing. I urge the others of you out there who are old farts like me
to give it a listen..the beat is great and probably we should read the lyrics to get
them all. wow!

Jonathan Franzen's Freedom

I have to make this quick, because I have to get back to the book! I just realized that I started reading this morning and now, around 6, I'm still at it. I took a
break to ride the exercycle, but read while on it. I forced myself to eat...while
reading. I love this book! Enough has been written about what a great writer Franzen
is and i loved his first book that I read, The Corrections. Also about a family but
a different kind.this guy writes better dialogue than anyone. His characters become
your friends and you can't get enough of them, even when they are doing stupid things. He writes a long big book because there is so much to say about the world we
live in, but mostly because he documents these very personal lives and you need the
time to spend with them...living with them.
I have been neglecting my blog because of the radio thing, and write on Facebook because it's quick...but if anyone is reading this...take my advice and get Freedom.
You'll thank me.

I've been bad

I haven't been blogging because I'm too busy doing the radio commentaries. so if you want to hear what I'm thinking...please to to www.robinhoodradio.com and then go to On Demand and put my name in the search box. Enjoy and let me know if you do!

New commentaries

I am now on EVERY DAY on the radio! 5:44 p.m. during All Things Considered
and you can get it On Demand at www.robinhoodradio.com.
This week I love what I talked about..she said modestly...Michael Jackson,
of course...What's wrong with Government, and what to watch and what to skip
on TV. enjoy!

things to never do

Never get your hair cut off the day before you go on TV and you don't know how
to style it. And your friend/stylist/shrink Mr. Joey who does it can't be there in the morning to do it right. Instead of hip, Ellen De Generis, I looked more like Tony Curtis.
Oh well...love Rosanna and Greg and feel like it's home.
Go to Good Day NY on the net and look for me or paste this direct link.

solitary man

Wow! you have got to see Solitary Man, the new Michael Douglas movie.
Brilliant script for grownups...excellent performances. He should be
nominated for Oscar. Any middle age guys with mid life crisis issues
be warned...it's tough to take. Loved this movie. Flawless!

Last LOST

Wow...wierd choice made by creators of Lost. The first hour so far is breaking the fourth wall and letting us know..forcing us to know that it is NOT REAL! They are really making us face that it is merely a TV show and I don't quite know why. Maybe they realize that they can't satisfy the audience with the creative dramatic end...so they are taking us out of the fantasy and sharing the behind the scenes. I dont like it. It's like when I'm watching a soap opera..yes I do..and another actor replaces the first one and they just expect you to accept it. It always ruins it for me.
Had they done this in an AFTER LOST...special, I'd have liked it better. Boo Hoo. mabye just Boo...will wait until it's over to see and say.

me on fox...

i hope this links it. i'm so lame at this.

The Real Riell

Saw Oprah totally flumoxed by the John Edwards baby mama! Interesting. This is one
tough cookie and I am not going to make a moral judgement. Strictly talking interview style here...she had Oprah boxed off in more ways than one. She uses all the words Oprah likes ...'your truth'...and other terms for self actualization and every place Oprah went with questions, she turned it around and maintained control.
Very interesting. Never saw Oprah quite this way before. The one fact that did jump out at me was that she never used birthcontrol...'whatever happened would happen' was her position. So to me that means...she decided to have his baby and she did!Maybe I should make a moral judgement on that part! And what the hell was he thinking????
