While in West Cork last week, as well as renewing acquaintances with many old friends, I also renewed the acquaintances of some trees I planted or worked with in some way, and it was fascinating to see how they have grown. If you ever want a clear and powerful indicator of how time passes, plant [...]

Such are the nominees this year for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Patrick Goldstein moans: It's pretty pathetic when you consider that you can vote for the Chantels and Darlene Love, but not for Linda Ronstadt, Steve Miller, Chicago, Rush, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Journey, Dire Straits or Stevie Ray Vaughan, just to name a few of the ineligible worthies... Those of us who are actual voters are...

American Primitive is an excellent gay drama with an outstanding cast. It also doesn't hurt that it's set in 1973 with a groovy soundtrack of music. Give me the Hollies' "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" emanating from a car radio and I'm happy. However, cool oldies do not necessarily make a good film, so I was quite pleased that the screenplay by director Gwen Wynne and Mary Beth Fielder...

Spent the half term weekend in West Cork in Ireland, revisiting people and places that made up my life between 1996 and 2005. It was like visiting a parallel world, a ‘Sliding Doors’-like glimpse at what could have been, offering reflections on where I am now and where I have come from. I will write [...]

Many of our regulars here are very familiar with the screen name PUK, or PeterUK. He had been conspicuously absent for the last week, so much so that I was compelled to contact a mutual friend, Clarice Feldman. She’d been having the same concerns and was busy racking her brain trying to think of a [...]
