A Bollywood film is being sued by Warner Bros. for copyright infringement. The Times of London’s overview of the kerfuffle (I know, easy for me to say) can be found here.

Tuesday, July 15, 2008
I’m taking a break from writing (blogging in particular) for the summer and maybe longer. But there is a controversy afoot, a tiny little tornado in a teacup that, like the ringing of Pavlov’s bell, has wrung an inevitable response from me. I’m just as God made me, folks, a simple satirist and ex-magazine person [...]

Today is the fortieth anniversary of RFK’s being shot here in Los Angeles. (He died a day later.) Though his murder is commonly thought to be open-and-shut–”crazy Palestinian enraged over the sale of fighter jets to Israel, et cetera”–unfortunately this is not the case. While it has never taken on the Byzantine permutations of his [...]

Friday, April 4, 2008
Spare a thought today, from the heart, for Martin Luther King, probably the greatest citizen this country has ever produced. Assassinated forty years ago today.

As I was reading, I could almost smell my pal’s mildewy basement rec room (along with the lingering scents of sexual frustration and Doritos).

Gifts received, Beatle flexi-discs listened to, all is well here, hope you can say the same. Jon decries the commercialization of the decrying of the commercialization of Christmas here. Some of Jon’s humor pieces threaten to rend the fabric of time/space. This is one of them. If you need visuals, try the video below.

So I’ve finished the umpteenth draft of this Lennon/Beatles novel, which will be going out to editors after the first of the year. Positive mental imaging is, as always, welcome. For reasons much too complicated to go into here, I found myself browsing YouTube for songs I first heard at Chicago’s late, lamented Medusa’s, an [...]

…will enjoy this site from the Monterrey Bay Aquarium. I used to be terrified of sharks (perhaps I’ll write up a story or two sometime), but now I definitely like ‘em. We have an understanding; they don’t bite me when I’m in the ocean, and I–well, I don’t really do anything in return. That’s one [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
