Life Done Right™

The key to living longer is simple: love what you do. It really is that simple. If the mind and body are in sync, amazing things happen. Somehow the will to execute that which needs to be done is found and by golly things get done. Just ask the Rolling Stones. The drugs haven’t killed […]

Frigid temperatures in the Northeast force one to resort to indoor activities. Why not take a lesson from Julia Allison and practice your lip syncing to your favorite songs. She chose Daft Punk’s “Digital Love.” Just remember, though, the record companies may come after your ass for copyright violation if you post that baby on […]

Goth is a relatively new phenomenon, but perhaps there are some of you who picked up on this trend by peeking inside your granddaughter’s bedroom and noticing how it resembled a freak Halloween show that plays year-round. Jack Off Jill, a band, decided to write a song called “French Kiss the Elderly” to capture the […]

Singing in the shower and pretending you’re a rock star is one thing. Posting videos to YouTube and confirming your cult status as a purveyor of mediocre is, well, the way the world operates these days. Sit back, pop a caffeine free diet Pepsi, and pretend you’re listening to Whitney Houston sing like she lost […]

When you climb over the sixty barrier, a funny thing happens: people start to treat you like a trophy on the shelf and for some reason like to add to your collection. Vacheron Constantin, the maker of expensive watches, threw a little party last night for legendary record producer Clive Davis for his […]

Since it’s Friday, there’s nothing like a fresh joint from Mattafix straight out of London. It’s called Big City Life and it blows. So get hooked up, lay back, and forget about the fact that the United Nations just issued a report that says the planet is on the brink of extinction…because, you know, President […]

Anyone who visited New York City after the Twin Towers fell would probably describe the mood of its residents as stunned yet unconsciously resilient. Language, the act of using words to describe the tragedy, didn’t seem to get the job done. Instead, musicians appeared all over the city and encouraged people to stop and listen […]

Teenagers pretty much find everything their parents do incredibly lame and like, whatever. As the years pass, though, the relationship teeters back to the smarmy middle where it’s more about enjoying their presence cuz like life really is short after all and who has time to worry anymore about whether your cliquey friends think you’re […]

Money may not buy love or happiness but it sure does buy a cadre of lawyers to fight for more of it. Don Felder, a former member of the Eagles band, was booted from the group after penning one of their most famous hits, Hotel California. The fight to reminisce about those drug-fueled years filled […]

You know, somehow it’s not shocking to learn that Marcia Brady and Jan Brady has an “incestuous” lesbian relationship during the Brady Bunch family value years. Maureen McCormick (Marcia) recently confessed to bedding Eve Plumb (Jan) while they both starred on the Brady Bunch. We’re just wondering if Peter found their vibrators and other such […]

They really don’t make ‘em the way they used to anymore…not like Luciano Pavarotti. He died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 71. His body might be forgotten, but not his voice.
Pavarotti dead at 71

Every summer needs a national anthem. This year it seems to be Rihanna’s Umbrella. Like most pop songs, the lyrics are trivial; it’s the beat that gets tucked into your ear and won’t leave. Say farewell to cloudy skies…

When the sun shines
We’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
Said I’ll always be your friend
Took an […]

Merv Griffin hitched his wagon to the stars. Here’s a lovely little number that’s hard to come by these days; it’s called “Lovely Bunch of Coconuts.” Au revoir, Merv.

A sexy flute player at the 5th Annual Kingston Latino Festival at the historic Rondout waterfront district in Kingston, New York. What caught my eye first was seeing this woman from the rear of the stage. She was dancing to the music and all you could see was her booty shaking in rhythm […]

Yes is more than an affirmative answer to a question posed by a detective to Lindsay Lohan on her guilt or innocence regarding driving under the influence. It’s also the name of a rock group that’s been around since 1968. Cadillac has raided the Yes archive and pulled out Wonderous Stories to sell you the […]

American Idol pop singer Kelly Clarkson recently dissed record producer Clive Davis. He told her she had no number one hits on her new album that she wrote; she told him to mind his own business. The feud escalated to the gossip pages and bad karma has found its way into Clarkson’s life. But you […]

We’re a sucker for a good singing voice, so it makes sense that we would be seduced by director Olivier Dahan’s new movie about Edith Piaf entitled La Vie en Rose. Check out the trailer and judge for yourself whether a trip to the theater beats another night of Katie Couric peddling stale news.
La Vie […]

Music makes the soul dance. Whether it makes for a good public performance is debatable. Then again, who cares.

Apparently some folks hunger to belong to the MTV generation. Grown men and women with a passion for music have decided to take their energy to a whole new level by forming a band and practicing in the proverbial garage. The three samples offered in the article do not sound all that promising. Check one, […]

Imagine sitting at home in Cleveland, Ohio, minding your own business when the phone rings. “Hello?” “Jimmy Scott?” “Yes.” “Pink Martini. How would you like to sing Tea for Two with Pink Martini?” “I would love it.” And that’s exactly what happened!
No one is ever too old to work!
