Unpacking boxes and came across a stray promotional bottle of Tequila. (No, I swear). Just put Mull Of Kintyre on repeat and gave the kid a pizza. Hold my calls. youtube.com/watch?v=Plhtk_XJ…

There's no nice way to say this. There's a bizarre epidemic of idiot fans throwing things at artists onstage. How this happened, why it needs to stop, what it means for the future of live music, and why it is not a pop star's job to be a target. rollingstone.com/music/music…
Dear Idiots, Please Stop Throwing Things at the Stage

This great 2017 Politico article on "dictator chic" laid it out very well. It's all about dominance and intimidation 2/ politico.com/magazine/story/…
There’s a term for Trump’s design tastes: “Dictator Chic”

I wrote a book about autocrats’ design tastes. The U.S. president would fit right in.

Little known fact: I started at Variety the same day as Dave almost 21 years ago today. He was tireless, ageless, invariably kind and fair, and nothing but a mensch to me after I left and turned to the dark side.

Dave McNary was my older brother in journalism, going back to UPI carpool days in Pasadena. RIP to a great reporter and an even better human.

I went off the board to watch John Frankenheimer's Seven Days In May about a coup attempt in the United States. I apologize to the world.
