I was saddened to hear that New York Jets legend Nick Mangold died this past weekend of kidney disease. I had the pleasure of working alongside Nick a couple of times for TV projects and he was very kind and gracious. I know he had children and that’s the worst part of his passing at just 41. RIP

I’m thrilled to have gotten #Rush tickets to my hometown show in Philly! Can’t wait for August! #RushTheBand

Heart. It’s not even close.

How great would it be if I could edit my post to capitalize Rush and get rid of that comma?! What year is this?

One of my favorite rush, albums! It’s fantastic from start to finish. I have the original Canadian release version on red vinyl and I cherish it.

My god, what a collection! This is the soundtrack of my youth. Each of these records is arguably that band’s best work. Give me Moving Pictures.

Alex Lifeson is sublime in Limelight!

I first heard the song I Saved the World Today by the Eurythmics on a fantastic episode of the Sopranos. I was hooked right away.

Just posted on Six Colors: Maybe it’s time to rename the Apple TV 4K

Maybe it’s time to rename the Apple TV 4K

So on Monday, Apple whispered a name change in a press release, and now Apple TV+ is just Apple TV. I'm okay with the decision....

And if he’s doesn’t take ANY job, they would be paying 100% of the remainder of his contract. It’s not a “buyout.” It’s what he’s owed on his contract. That said, he needed to go.

A media gig for James Franklin would pay much less than another coaching job, meaning Penn State would be paying a lot more of his buyout.

James Franklin could stick it to Penn State by taking a media job

Former Penn State head coach James Franklin could stick it to the school by deciding to take a media job instead of going back into coaching.

Mystic Rhythms is superb! The Bog Money, Grand Designs, all favorites. Highly underrated record.

Deviating from the norm? Everybody got to.

How about Envy of None as an opening act!

Well weathered leather
Hot metal and oil
The scented country air

Sunlight on chrome
The blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware!
