Letter S, Week 2“Glory Days” by Bruce Springsteen Today is Bruce Springsteen’s birthday and in this house, that’s pretty much a national holiday.

Only Murders in the Building is back for its fifth season and once again, I am not only tickled by the entire cast but by the supporting presence of Charles-Haden Savage’s art collection.

Letter Q, Week 2“Question” by Old 97’s Dan and I got engaged in Mindowaskan Park in Westfield, New Jersey on August 29, 2004.1 Dan chose this spot because it’s where Ed Stevens proposed to Carol Vessey in Ed, the 2000s TV show that was one of the pop culture things that brought us together as...

A few weeks ago, Joi Katskee of Electric Radio Club asked some of her listeners to share their personal stories about songs that gave them a sense of freedom.
