I was a Letterman fan early on, always making sure to catch his appearances on the Tonight Show, arranging my schedule so I could see his daytime show and staying up late to see his original nighttime show on NBC. His first few years at CBS were a treat, but as the run wore on, he seemed to tailor his jokes more to the tourists in the live audience than those of us in TV land.

Hangin’ and bangin’ on a Saturday night: It’ll be the standard dinner-gallery-nightclub run with a few comrades. Not too original. A little of the same old same-old, but certainly manageable. I’m sure that some of us have clubs or floating parties that they try to attend on a frequent basis – places where the scene is always worth the trouble of going out.

I guess what I'm saying here is, "I'm sorry," but you left me no choice. So yeah, that's conditional contrition. It sucks, but take what you ... MORE

Dwight Yoakam gained his notice with Hillbilly Deluxe and Buenos Noches from a Lonely Room, but he won me over with this cd. A perfect mix of uptempo and slow songs, this cd is heads and tails above anything else Nashville was making at the time. (with apologies to Steve Earle who spent more time in jail than in the studio) So many tracks stand out... the opening track "Distance Between You and Me" spells it out perfectly. You are going to get the Dwight view of love a... MORE
