Death Doll
Friday, July 16th, 2010A few year’s after Twilight Zone’s infamous Talking Tina and several years before the horrific Chucky, there was this – a real, honest to goodness child’s toy from Remco. To see this thing rocking in the corner in the middle of the night just might be the thing that would permanently drive the sane over the brink.

Could It Work? BP to Try Plugging Hole With Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010
Oily to Rise. Gaga and Bieber will be lowered to the depths at 5:00 A.M.
GULF COAST, FL (Special to TSD After Dark) After several failed attempts to plug the massive hole where nearly 100,000 barrels of oil is spilling into the Gulf of Mexico on a daily basis, the BP Corporation will try a radical new theory which they hope will finally seal the gaping chasm. Current pop icons Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber will be submerged to a depth of nearly 5,000 feet below the ocean surface in an attempt to cut off the flowing oil supply. (more…)

Jonesin' for the Truth. Alex Jones wants the government to know he has found Santa.
HALLANDALE, FL (Special to TSD After Dark) Alex Jones, who hosts a nationally syndicated radio program and challenges conventional wisdom on a daily basis, has blown the lid off of many so-called “truths” and exposed them as lies. But perhaps nothing has put the 35 year old radio host and filmmaker into the spotlight quite like his latest revelation. (more…)

The Days of TV Theme songs
Friday, June 26th, 2009It wasn’t all that long ago. TV shows, all of them from sit coms to dramas had theme songs. Many were memorable. Of course, today, apparently TV execs feel we don’t have the attention span to sit through a theme song. Of course it also bites into advertising time.
But, if you’re old to remember the game of humming theme songs in the car to make long trips go faster, you probably can sing The Brady Bunch theme word for word, or Green Acres, or can hum the M*A*S*H theme. But it was the cop shows that really had some killer music – burnin’, funky, filthy groove-oriented jams that cooked. Ironside, Emergency!, The Mod Squad, and this…an all-time favorite. The Rookies by the great composer Elmer Bernstein.
Father’s Day: An Odd Feeling…Still
Friday, June 19th, 2009
Father’s Day has been doubly poignant for me ever since my son was born. My dad died unexpectedly in October of 1986, and so for ten years I didn’t celebrate a Father’s Day. Then when my boy came along, all of sudden I was the guy people bought gifts for. I was the honoree.
The Beer for the Ages that had No Name
Friday, June 19th, 2009
Homestyle Brew. This homemade beer machine is a Cadillac compared to the one my friend used.
In my Pennsylvania radio days in the early 1990’s, my wife and I befriended and remain good friends with a husband and wife morning team. To this day, their show tops the ratings. We really get along. We share many of the same passions. One is beer.
I consider myself an active beer drinker. By that I mean, I don’t drink copious amounts, I merely enjoy sampling brews from around the globe. On my trip to Greece this month I enjoyed a cold bottle of ZEOS, brewed in Argos, Greece. It was a robust, full-bodied pilsner. Loved it.
The Diary of Simon Kadurka
Friday, June 19th, 2009
Ed. Note: A page from the lost diary of Simon Kadurka. Kadurka was a musician who the Soviets did not trust. They had recently rolled their tanks into the Czechoslovakian capital rounding up dissidents. Only a few entries survived and were mailed to our offices.
Prague. August 23, 1968.
It is day one and I’m in some kind of cell somewhere in the western part of the city. It’s very hot and the bed is quite firm and uncomfortable. There are rats and cockroaches. Of the two, the rats have the better sense of humor. On the plus side, one of the guards enjoys my guitar playing. I indulge him by playing Bach etudes, and he returns the favor by not electrocuting my genitals.
