Word of the day is ‘blutterbunged’ (19th-century English dialect): confounded, bemused, or totally overcome by surprise.
What a pleasure to hear about Rob Reiner’s documentary on Albert Brooks last week and see it a few days later. A loving tribute and enjoyable watch – at St Louis, MO
There was no one like Albert Brooks before he arrived.
@AdrienneLaF caught up with the comedian and filmmaker about where his ideas come from, the particularities of his writing process, and the art of the ending. theatlantic.com/culture/arch…

CARLITO'S WAY turns 30 today. For Paste, I wrote about why I think it's a better Pacino/De Palma picture than SCARFACE (and it sounds like De Palma agrees!). bit.ly/47mNikQ

So pleased to have been nominated for a Grammy again, in the Contemporary Blues category. This is the sixth out of my last seven albums to be nominated. Maybe this will take me off the Susan Lucci train. 😎Thank you to all of my team at @jayveerecords and my friends & supporters.

‘The thinner tree was cut years ago and the big one has been holding and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn’
Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which parts of two different trees, commonly but not exclusively the same species, grow together, self grafting and sharing nutrients
The term emanates from latin- ōsculārī, to kiss

How do we remember our past through music? And is it possible “music also remembers us,” as Eichler wrote?
Moving discussion with @Jeremy_Eichler on his new book “Time’s Echo” about WWII-era music and the Shoah.

Reading completely inaccurate notes from my own medical care serves as a great reminder to take all medical documentation with a grain of salt and to always keep asking patients to confirm old info. Doctors and nurses hear the wrong thing all the time lol

📜 Today marks the 400th anniversary of the First Folio being published 🎭🎉
Without this first printed edition of Shakespeare's collected plays, we would have lost half of his dramatic work to history as many of the plays hadn't been printed before
#Folio400
ALT A copy of the First Folio on display inside a display case in The Play's The Thing exhibition. The book is open at the title page for Measure For Measure.
