I was “channel surfing through You Tube yesterday when I came across some interviews that Hal Linden did with the Academy of Television. Linden, of course, was the star of “Barney Miller”. That show was my favorite 70's sitcom in a crowded field of great shows but somehow gets lost in the shuffle when “best of” lists are put together. The chemistry between the regulars and a parade of loony character actors (all of the great ones made an appearance) was hilarious. Plus it had a great theme song! Linden talks about the show and two of the funnier people around Jack Soo and Abe Vigoda.
Hall of Fame announces candidates to be considered by the Modern Era Committee in December:
Dwight Evans
Steve Garvey
Tommy John
Don Mattingly
Marvin Miller
Thurman Munson
Dale Murphy
Dave Parker
Ted Simmons
Lou Whitaker
All but Evans, Munson & Whitaker were on the '17 ballot
My picks would be Evans, Whitaker, Garvey, Munson and Mattingly. Plus, Marvin Miller should have been in years ago.
Warren Haynes is releasing an LP and film of his 2014 Christmas Jam. You can make the argument that Haynes is one of the bset guitarists working these days. Here's a cut from his 90's run with the Allman Brothers Band from the Lp Seven Turns. Smokin stuff and one of my faves. Crank it up!

“Trump just tweeted that there's “nothing wrong” with engaging in “quid pro quo” to extort a foreign power into attacking our election. We are in some seriously dark times when the president's defense becomes “I didn't do the crime, but there's nothing wrong with crime if I did.”-Walter Schaub
oh well now THIS is juicy…

Media beware. Lies presented as “points of view” are tools of fascism. Don’t give them oxygen.
