“But then something happened that the ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable: a shower curtain ring salesman, Del Griffith, Director of sales, American Light & Fixture.” ✨🎨

I love that they're putting Star Trek: Khan onto the official YouTube channel. Super easy to listen to the premiere chapter! (Naveen and Wrenn CRUSH it. I was lucky enough to be in the booth for their recording sessions and seriously, chills. So good.) youtu.be/UDOn6BBis_8?...

Official promotional art for Star Trek: Khan. A forested wilderness planet under a clouded, crimson sky in the background; in the foreground, Khan Noonien Singh is silhouetted in front of a blazing sunset partially eclipsed by the shattered orb of Ceti Alpha VI. He holds in his hand, in front of his face, a glowing vial in which is trapped a Ceti Eel. A small white Star Trek delta symbol hangs in the sky for no discernible reason.

Text reads: STAR TREK KHAN

I took a media ethics class from him about the time Burger King was using “Happy Together” in all of their commercials… during pauses in his lecture, he’d apologize saying he was distracted collecting another royalty check. Such a fun professor with an unbelievable career.

RIP Mark Volman, founding member of The Turtles and one half of Flo & Eddie (pictured here - Mark is on the left, Howard Kaylan on the right). I was fortunate enough to do some of my very first live performances as an opening act for Flo & Eddie in 1983 at the Bottom Line in NYC.

Star Trek IV, the One with the Whales scene. Kirk is pictured in his Sydney Opera House undershirt/Red jacket uniform and standing on a Klingon ship. Background is dingy and greenish with red lights on instrument panes. Kirk's expression is like that thing when you eat way too much pasta and cheese and bread and then just want to lay down and sleep for a week. Closed caption reads, "This is an extremely primitive and paranoid culture."

Oversaw the last scene of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning on another passenger’s screen on the plane and… Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did it better. Just saying.

I used to live around the corner from that Carvel in Westwood - it’s still there… And I’m still convinced it’s a front for something. Barely functioning with an owner/operator who you sense wants to punch you in the face for inconsiderately interrupting his self-loathing. 😆
