The Many Saints Of Newark: An Exercise in Nostalgia
One of my favorite things to play is “remember when”, or as it is otherwise known, “remember the time”. I play it with my friends and family whenever we get together over the holidays and such. I’m sure you play it too. Everybody does. Sometimes we’ll play it when were talking about our favorite movies. […]
March 17, 1979: Elvis Costello Calls Ray Charles The N-Word And All Hell Breaks Out
Bonnie Bramlett was deliberate in her watchfulness of him, this incarnation of the latest thing, this critics darling, as he swaggered to their table. Once there, he went straight to the bottle.

And the young adult stage. Many marriages don’t survive beyond this point, which is usually seven to ten years. Circumstance rears […]

Vito Genovese hangs a picture of his parents
The Showgirl, The Capo and The Comic, Part X
He bet on the wrong horse. It was as simple as that. He bet on the wrong horse because he let himself be influenced by his emotions, by his likes and his dislikes. He should have just stuck with the odds. He was a gambler, after all. Time and distance. That’s why Luciano’s word no […]
