Thank you, ProJo, for reviewing a new Muppets Christmas special that airs tonight (although I don’t know if it could rival “A Muppets Christmas Carol,” one of my faves). It seems the cuddly creatures will encounter special guests including an airport security guard (Nathan Lane, who seems well-suited to working with zany puppets) and a
This worked pretty well with the local show I did a while back, so I figured I’d try again: This Sunday morning on my radio show I’ll be counting down the 50 best Christmas songs ever. I’m taking votes now, and I need a little more input. Traditional or modern, secular or religious, I just

Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has just been nabbed by the Feds for allegedly hocking Obama’s senate seat and cock-blocking the Chicago Tribune. If you think his hair is hilarious, wait until you hear how he used a comparison with Nixon as the basis for his innocence. Not sure what to buy the auto industry this

Attention all art lovers — please help support ‘Festival Ballet Providence’ by attending The Nutcracker this holiday season. As the economy continues to falter, it is more important than ever to support local non-profit arts organizations — especially those whose performers depend on audience support for their livelihood.

And they’re not calling themselves B-101 anymore; now they’re Christmas-101! Get it? While I generally only listen to the station when I’m a) getting my teeth cleaned or b) in the car with my
Well, as I mentioned yesterday, my holiday dinner included a close encounter with New York’s “Littlest Hustler.” The kid’s an experience. A unique mix of precocious and childish, playful and mean — In other words, incredibly manipulative. But he is somehow such that it almost feels reasonable that there’s a 3,000-word profile about him in
This is a two-parter. First is the intro with the Marine Chorus which is quite wonderful. Then it goes to Grace Jones singing ‘Little Drummer Boy’ in the weirdest outfit ever. Pee Wee’s Christmas Special is the gold standard of the genre. [youtube]1GniAjezD84[/youtube]
