In honor of Rhino's new release of The Replacements' classic LET IT BE, here's my pretty cringe-y but relatively on-target review of the album in the Yale Daily News 41 years ago. Still one of my favorite albums. And of course the friend mentioned is none other than @chrissteller.bsky.social.

I LOVED The Baker's Wife at Classic Stage Company. What a sweet, beautiful show. See it if you get the chance!

If you're a writer who's cool with using AI to create art for your pitch (instead of hiring an actual artist), I guess you'd also be cool with the studio using AI to write the screenplay instead of hiring you?

Really enjoying Pluribus. Glad to see Vince Gilligan returning to his X-Files roots.

Very excited to see this (and Ari) next week!!
It’s hard to imagine a better production with a more stacked cast than the one of THE BAKER’S WIFE now onstage at CSC. In lesser hands it might be unbearably twee, but here it is lovingly staged and performed—a joy and a gem.

The Script That Got Me an Agent. Sharing this story because it might be helpful to someone. It was my USC master's thesis script and was called HEAD CASE. It was about an estranged son who returns home for his father's funeral, opens the casket and discovers his dad's head is missing. 1/6

Had two meetings cancel today and I'm convinced it's because they didn't have their costumes ready for tonight.
