HUNTER-GATHERER

Iggy, Madge and that guy from N’sync on the night that The RN’R Hall Of Lame said no to Iggy (2008).
I celebrated the Millennium in NYC while in the midst of a tour. The client that I had started working with in 1999, kept me busy for a year and a half and allowed [...]

Homeboy: (yep, that’s Slash and Duff)

1990’s Brick By Brick provided the soundtrack for my departure from NYC back to Motown. It took years for me to come back to this record as it served as a reminder of my last months in Gotham, a place that grew painfully more fond as I took up [...]

Oh the 80’s, I finally started growing out of my chubscout form and Iggy was dealing with the depths of a heroin jones. Many consider his work from this era his weakest, but there is a lot to like about it. The following interview sums up his state at the beginning [...]

Amazing that this glittered caravan is not in the Rock N’ Roll Hall Of [...]

Recently I posted a story regarding Little Britain USA and my fear that HBO’s attempt to remodel the hit British series for domestic audiences would result in downright painful television. I actually hoped I would be wrong as there is little on TV these days that is clever enough to make a point of [...]

The news of the tragic death of Paul Newman also reminded me that Hollywood no longer makes the kind of moves that brought him to prominence. As I went through the clips trying to find a definitive role, I was struck by the amount of quality work he had done. He was a [...]

The UK series Little Britain is headed for an American reincarnation. The brainchild of writers/actors Matt Lucas and David Walliams, Little Britain has enjoyed great success among a long line of British sketch comedy shows as well as serving as a prolific catch-phrase generator across the pond. Having seen and enjoyed [...]
