Rock Music’s Neighborhood Watch
Foo Fighters have a new song off their forthcoming album, “Concrete and Gold.” This equally rockin’ and catchy song is titled, “The Sky is a Neighborhood” and it was released by the band today, along with a very clever music video.
Enough said.
The Foo Fighters, after 23-years, still remain the pop-culture masters of imagining the most awesomely unique and entertaining music videos. You never forget their songs nor those defining accompanying music videos.
And that’s why the sky continues to be the limit for the Foo Fighters.
P.S. Those eyes in the music video simulating shining stars…stellar!
Happy Monday
He’s only getting better with age.
And no, I didn’t name a bottle of wine Thor. I’m not crazy. My mother had me (Big Bang Theory fans will fill-in-the-blank here). The “he” in the sentence above refers to the genius comedic writer and actor Larry David.
Seinfeld savants have been cognizant of Mr. David’s writing prowess since the late ’80s and throughout the nineties in the sitcom world. However, Larry David has been experiencing a renaissance of sorts with the public (even though he really didn’t go anywhere) for his HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm, a successful stint on SNL as Bernie Sanders (spot-on) and a Broadway writing and acting debut in Fish in the Dark. Part of this renaissance is that with his HBO show and play, Larry David has been in front of the camera and on-stage.
Add in nostalgia for the timeless brilliance of Seinfeld’s unique brand of humor and an old guy humorously telling it exactly like it is (and then some) in completely absurd (yet entirely relatable) situations on Curb Your Enthusiasm and those are the main reasons why Larry David is experiencing a Betty White-like resurgence in recent years.
Plus, Larry David is insanely funny as an actor and a writer!
And he’s still going strong…
super strong.

Damn, Daniel!
You know how people say something isn’t true unless it’s true?
For example, speculation has been that Daniel Craig would eventually return as the iconic 007 after a long break following the Spectre. That’s been what many people (including myself) have believed to be true for quite some time, in our minds.
Well…
Damn, Daniel!
Apologies, Mr. Craig/James Bond/007.
This is amazing news. While Sean Connery will always be known as the greatest James Bond in cinematic history, Daniel Craig has given the Scotsman a serious run for his money. Partly because Daniel Craig has brought unrivaled modernity, realism and grit to the character. But also in part because Daniel Craig’s James Bond is a more complicated and conflicted character with a relatable (as relatable as 007 can be) emotional range to how a normal person would react and think beyond the flashy gadgets and unforgettable catchphrases.
So, it’s officially one more film for Daniel Craig as James Bond. And that’s exactly what 007 fans have been saying since Mr. Craig’s brilliant first-go as the British spy in Casino Royale back in 2006. And we’ll keep on saying it…one more film…one more film…one more film, please.
Just don’t ask Daniel Craig that one question two days after wrapping Bond 25 (title TBD).
P.S. Remember when “Damn, Daniel!” was a Snapchat craze?
Happy Monday
It’s Monday. It’s time to wake up from the weekend (literally and metaphorically).
It’s time for TCB.
TCB: That Creative Brainstorm. There’s no better way to start the workweek.
And that’s how you take care of business.
Have a Better Week Than Last Week.
