Looking for Mr. Goodbar
I had no idea what I was in for when I rented this movie. I knew it was supposed to be dark, but didn’t bother to read anything about it before I decided to watch it, which in retrospect was a good thing because the ending was so stunning, it made me queasy.
It’s a 1977 film starring Diane Keaton as a single schoolteacher in New York City. After a failed affair with her professor in...

My roster isn’t that long. I’ve talked to Bill Withers, Toots, John Fogerty and the other dudes from Creedence Clearwater Revival,...

Island Music
Firstly, this isn’t a picture I took myself but it looks like where I was. I had the great fortune of taking a trip to Aruba for a weekend. On a few occasions there, I was serenaded by a steel drum player who banged out “La Isla Bonita” and “Kokomo” and “Under the Boardwalk” ad nauseum. But that wasn’t as telling as was the house band...
