Track: Breakin' the Rules (What Do You Do When Opposites Attract?) [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] |
Spotting trends, previewing fads, reviewing culture and letting you know where it's going to go before it gets there … by a man who's been there and done that, so we have something to compare it all to.

» Bonnie Pointer of Pointer Sisters arrested!
I saw Bonnie Pointer doing a club date a few years back. If we were still using that phrase “hot mess,” she would have qualified for the description. The oddest part of the evening was that she lip-synched all the 1980s Pointer Sisters hits — “I’m So Excited,” “Automatic,” etc. — that the Pointer Sisters recorded after Bonnie left for an intermittently successful solo career. Basically, there was no difference between that night’s entertainment and a run-of-the-mill lip-synched drag show.

At this moment, in France, there is Karl Lagerfeld Diet Coke on grocery store shelves throughout the country while Karl Lagerfeld’s significant other, Baptiste Giabiconi, is one of the leaders on France’s edition of Dancing with the Stars. Basically, how mainstream can gay get? |

“Romance at short notice was her speciality.” As it did for many, it was that line from “The Open Window” that hooked me on the works of Saki (a.k.a. H. H. Munro). But these days, one hardly hears of the wit and wonder of Saki’s stories, expect for an occasional reading of “Tombermory” in high school literature classes. I urge you to change that. Put aside a half-hour and delve into the work of a man without whom I doubt we’d have had a P. G. Wodehouse or Roald Dahl. You’ll enjoy yourself. I promise. |
