Big Sunday

The Smothers Brothers bring you something to watch and listen to with your bacon and Easter eggs this morning. Hope the big bunny brought you lots of treats.

In honor of road trips

It's Sunday. I'm back in L.A. after two weeks on the road. Here's something to watch and listen to with your beer and breakfast this morning.



That looks like it was a hell of a concert.

Elvis sighting!

On the way back from Texas I stopped by The Palms in Vegas and spotted this sign out the window of my room.

Mystery solved.

Let's all go to the Drive-In!

I wonder how many of the Texans I met last week wouldn't even be here if not for this great old place?

Much love was found in the ghost light of an AIP double feature.

It's hot in Texas!

Here are three versions of RING OF FIRE to go with your Sunday morning tea and strumpets. Take your pick or enjoy them all.

Now, more than ever

"Are they yelling in Atlanta, Ted?"

They should be, but we are even more asleep now than we were in the 70s.



Farewell, Mr. Lumet. You always knew how to get the most out of a great screenplay.

Vote early, vote often!



I'm in Texas prepping CHRISTMAS WITH THE DEAD, but my buddy Duane Swierczynski sent me an e-mail today about a neat book poll that the L.A. Times is running where you can pick your favorite novel set in Los Angeles and somehow my book, EARTHQUAKE WEATHER, has been nominated. It's a big field and I'll need all 41 of my "followers" to cast their votes for me if we hope to knock off the likes of Nat West and Tommy Pynchon. But I know we can do it!

Please click on the link below and start stuffing the ballots now!

A tune for Sunday afternoon

I missed breakfast this morning, but maybe you can play this with your afternoon Tequila and beer.
