It’s Another Vacation Week!

by Michael Musto

December 10, 2012

Well, I have it coming, so I’m going to use it and simply relax by spending the week going to movies, plays, and nightclubs–basically, all the things I always do!

But there won’t be a blog this week.

In more positive news, there will be a column on Wednesday–it’s done–and I can’t wait to share it with you because it’s a madcap interview with Alan Cumming, who’s playing a drag queen in a new movie and still stirring it up on The Good Wife.

Off to run around like a madman on my vacation!

Oh, and here are some shots of my various unsightly sweaters from this last week:

With Snooky and Tish at the Frankie's Friends benefit at the Cutting Room. All right, it isn't a sweater, but maybe it should be.

The Ballad of Tom Hill

“Tom, who now lives in the Bronx, was raised on a plantation in the Delta. Emmett Till was one of his best friends. Indeed, he was with Till until about 7 p.m. on the horrible, legendary 1955 night when Till was murdered allegedly for whistling at a white woman.”

Report from Swinging London: ‘Revolver’ Revolution

“Hear it once and you know it’s important. Hear it twice, it makes sense. Third time around it’s fun. Fourth time, it’s subtle. On the fifth hearing, ‘Revolver’ becomes profound.”

Bill Barr: The “Cover-Up General”

“At the center of the criticism is the chief articulator of Bush’s imperial presidency,” we reported in 1992, “the man who wrote the legal rationale for the Gulf War, the Panama invasion, and the officially sanctioned kidnapping of foreign nationals abroad.”

The Romans Tried to Save the Republic From Men Like Trump. They Failed.

Trump now takes office on the strength of his demagoguery. A student of little else, Trump is an intuitive expert in popular fantasy, and he plays his American audience like a well-worn instrument.

Black Monday, 1987: Wrong Medicine

"While it's tempting to celebrate exuberantly the demise of yuppie culture and all the other horrendous phenomena of the Reagan/Thatcher/Koch era, capitalism is not notable for its equitable division of pain"
