So when the legendary Lee Jacobs asked me to create my own page on this site, I was thrilled. Then he said he couldn’t pay me much so I quit. He called me up and said, “You’re such a pontificating bullshitter of an egotist, you’d probably do it for free anyhow.” I accepted his generous offer and egged his car. I did both because he was right, of course. I was raised by the various forms of media, and I feel an uncontrollable narcissistic urge to share those experiences with all of you. Everything that informed my youth. The pop culture of my birth to coming of age. The things, good and bad, that matter to me. 1979 to 1997. To bring this to you is my MISSION.
