Lost Rock Bands: Susan

Christigau called this Boston band from the "Rat", "the professional rockers that the Sex Pistols warned us about." One album with Tommy Motola and pfffft. But somebody grabbed the vinyl and digitized it. The guitarist went on to play for a decade with Joan Jett. God bless the internet. I think this is around 1979 and features a homage to Marlene with the classic rock lyric, "...legs so long I had to write this song."

Television Not Just For Dummies Anymore

The line between television and cinema film are slowly disappearing in the next wave of creative content on your Tivo, your IPhone, or your Cineplex. What's responsible?

Mary McNamara television critic and bestselling mystery novelist pens a Critic's Notebook in The Los Angeles Times that explains why television is no longer for dummies.

"People who write about television, who give out awards for television, who think and talk about television, love "Mad Men." Love it. Partly because it is smart, gorgeous and sexy and partly because it is proof positive that TV can do everything film can do, and once a week for a full season.

Jon Hamm's sleek-haired, square-jawed Don Draper squints through an artful squiggle of cigarette smoke at the golden head of wife Betty (January Jones) and nostalgia swells, for Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart, for Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman, for all those beloved films in which men wore hats and women wore gloves and the removal of each could be more seductive and meaningful than any hard-R sex scene. With its perfectly stylized sets, awash in lights and shadows so rich they could be filtered through a half-full highball glass, "Mad Men" seems at times like a treasure trove of undiscovered film, unearthed from some studio vault. "

Robert Downey Jr. As Sherlock Holmes

The newly freed Guy Richie and the bestest bad boy actor ever do: lock, stock and two smoking nostrils. Hard to say how the film will be but the trailer is magnificent.

Calvin Borel

They call him Bo-Rail and he won the Derby a couple of years ago on a weaving ride off the rail on Street Sense. Yesterday he won the Kentucky Oaks and today the Kentucky Derby--on the rail. From near last to a commanding win aboard the $10,000 horse Mine That Bird (who has Belmont and Derby winners in his bloodline) but nobody thought the horse was much (he comes out of Canada for goodness sakes) and he went off at 50-1.

He bested million dollar horses owned by sheiks and the cream of the horse racing establishment.

How much does the jockey matter? A lot.

Maurice Jarre's Epic Run

Composer of some of the most known movie music died in Los Angeles at age 84. Best known for film scores such as Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago, but his haunting and epic music for Is Paris Burning? and Grand Prix remain my favorites.

A green metal Lotus racer I played with on a rug for hours...falling asleep as a partisan liberating the grand city, whose name at the time, I didn't even know.

The Phrase "Financial Products" Was The Beginning Of The End

Who coined the phrase "financial products"? I remember hearing that phrase a couple of years ago and thinking, "That doesn't sound right."

Old Man Almost Wins The British Open At Turnberry

Is this really possible? Do old man smarts trump big hitting youngsters at Turnberry? Tom Watson is 59 years old. Official Leaderboard is here.

Tom Watson failed to par the 18th hole to insure his victory in the British Open and had a tough slog through the four-hole playoff with Stewart Cink. The second place finish was remarkable nonetheless but not what Tom Watson or most fans were looking for.

Tucker Carlson Comes Back From Wherever To Call Jon Stewart A Partisan Hack

The Really: Tucker? Do you really miss Jon that much?

Tucker Carlson can't get enough of calling Jon Stewart names. It's a ratings bonanza!! So today Tucker calls Jon a "partisan hack" and will "end up like Lenny Bruce" (which of course means dead of a heroin overdose) for taking Jim Cramer to the woodshed--which we believe Jim Cramer liked.

Jon Stewart Eviscerates Jim Cramer And All Financial Monkey Pundits On CNBC

The Really: It was one of television's great moments. Cramer seemed on the verge of tears. But he is a lawyer so he might have been playing possum. But he didn't have a leg to stand on against Stewart's argument that the CNBC shows and Cramer's show do a public disservice. Jon Stewart at his best.
