I used to say that the way you could tell he was lying was if his lips were moving!

The most beautiful cat I’ve ever seen! ❤️🐈❤️

Thank you!

Always!

My music interests are all over the place — 50s & 60s pop, classic country, the American Songbook, Americana, Cajun, Celtic Punk…

My Dad LOVED Johnny Cash and George Jones. (In fact, one of George’s rehab centers was here!) I’m a boomer, too. Slap in the middle. My brother and my best friend were born in 1959. Their music likes are so different from mine that I wonder why they’re considered boomers.

You’re welcome! Dad was lucky in that he met a lot of celebrities — Jerry Lewis (Dad hosted many MDA telethons here), Johnny Cash, Bobby Darin, Sal Mineo, Dennis Weaver… I’m probably getting into people before your time! 😆

Cry Baby

Your posts bring back so many memories! My Dad was a DJ, and all my childhood memories are filled with his voice and classic rock… Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, Leslie Gore… He met a lot of them, too. He pulled us out of school so we could meet The Monkees, and Leonard Nimoy! Hard to pick just one!

I’m the eldest of 7. Both my parents are gone. There was a falling out over Mom’s will (Terrible lawyer, worse will!). Two of my siblings now speak on an “as needed” basis, even though they live 1/4 mile apart on the same road! I thought my brother’s death 2 years ago would change things, but nope!

I’m retired, but I’m stuck in a red state. My siblings want me closer to them; God forbid I move deeper into red country! So I do the best I can, living in the purple suburbs and staying close to my friends (keeps me sane) and my family. (No politics discussed!) I hope these 4 years pass quickly!

I was appalled when I heard months ago that the son of the great Robert F. Kennedy, Sr., had become a Trump acolyte, and the hero of MAGA followers. He has tarnished his father’s legacy with his insane ideas, and threatens to cause countless deaths if he is confirmed. Yes, he must be stopped now!

Abbey Road

I always loved the work of your grandfather and his brother Joseph, and your father Frank, of course. Then I saw you years ago, reporting for NBC News, and thought, “I wonder… “ How many people can be named Mankiewicz? And then Ben came along. You guys are just the best at what you do!
