I remember the day my sister and I purchased the Gang of Four’s first album Entertainment in September of 1979. The first time we heard it in the basement of our family home - it was like a sonic bomb had gone off. It has remained one of my favorite LPs. RIP. John Gill.

I was at a shop in Amsterdam a couple of years ago and I started talking to the clerk who happened to be the owner of the store about her wares and where got them. She looked at me and asked me if I was an American. I said I was and then she replied she never thought she would ever say this but she missed having…

As a librarian who has worked in several historical societies with large photograph archives, I am severely disappointed to read the National Archives is altering images in their collections. Whoever made these changes or approved of them should be fired and then formally reprimanded by Society of American…

Hey, careful, man, there’s a beverage here!

I am 55 and while I was at the perfect age to have been a Wurtzel reader - I never read her book(s). I had a friend who went to Harvard with her and his description (a very good guy) wasn’t all too flattering, but nothing outright mean either. She may have been a good writer and her book may have helped many women but…

I read Spy magazine in the 1980s so I knew Trump was crook from their coverage of him.

Sounds like you listen to Gaslit Nation. I love Sarah and Andrea. To quote them - the Trump administration is a “transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government.”

I was born and raised in Chicago and while I don’t live there anymore I have a soft spot in my heart for that great city. This leads me to say- there are many kinds of Chicagoans. So many great people who lived there and made a mark like Nelson Algren, Jane Adams, Studs Terkel etc. but Vince Vaughn is the worst kind…

CREEPY but predictable.... :(

I agree wholeheartedly with your comment. For years and years when a comedy had a “blonde actress” in a supporting role often times - the writers followed the model of Marilyn Munster - the straight character among a lot of colorful kooks, but this is not the case with Alexis. She holds her own in a great cast.

I love John Mulaney and I hate to admit it but I did not laugh once through the entire program. I wouldn’t say it was bad because the overall the show was really inventive, clever and full of energy but for some reason - I didn’t find it laugh out loud funny. Maybe I should watch it again.

Bow down to the TRUE QUEEN - LIZ!

Go to antique stores or estate sales and do not buy new. There are plenty of well-made pieces out there and without too much trouble you can furnish a whole house on a budget.

Not an original opinion but I like to take every opportunity to declare publicly I hate Ivanka from the bottom of my heart and I hope she and her husband go to prison for decades.

Another take on why Democrats lose.

I could not love this comment any more than I do. Big kisses to your comment!

I am a point in my life that if her endorsement encourages more young people to vote in elections I am for it. Very few people vote in the US. Voting is a habit that must be cultivated. I started voting simply because my mother was a member of a religious cult which discouraged the practice of voting by its members.…

You got me! Good joke once you told me your comment was a joke. :)

She is not a good actress....... Maybe Polly Walker or Isla Fisher or Essie Davis.

I wish they have cast someone different in the role of Elizabeth Taylor. While both of the actresses are accomplished and beautiful and resemble Taylor in some ways (their coloring and face) but both actresses are frankly too tall, too slender and too buff. Why the directors couldn’t find a more petite, soft, curvy…
