Michael Douglas wrote an autobiography? Yes he did!  “One Helluva Ride” is a freaking great book! A straight up, no holds barred, page turner. I was bawling one minute and hysterically pissing myself with laughter the next. (1 of 2)

Back in the day, cleaning this would have meant something completely different. And I’d be using a double album cover to get rid of the stems and seeds. Now, it’s just drying oregano from the garden. Far out!

Apologies to JohnWilliams for keeping his guest, Talking Heads' David Byrne, from being on his show on-time. I didn't know he had a time commitment w John when I was doing my interview with him just before. It turns out, it was a funny exchange on the air. youtube.com/watch?v=PMWJL1aH…

The official opening of the new @colbertlateshow set at the @MuseumTV was tonight. Pretty cool to see and sit at. Kind of bittersweet that Colbert isn’t using it on the air.

So let me get this straight, @mlb @Cubs @whitesox : fans in Chicago have to have a subscription service to watch their teams in the wild card series, but we get the Yankees/Red Sox games for free on the mainline @nbc?
