Maybe it's my refusal to succumb to the ever-growing, integrity-sucking fungus that is the perpetual, year-round blockbuster that wouldn't let me enjoy watching one minute of the third installment in the Iron Man trilogy, or, it could've been the preposterous, completely-unbeliveable-even-for-a-fantasy-flick plot. Either way, after receiving praise from two of...

A week ago last Sunday I got a call from my mother in Florida that went something like this:

"I'm absolutely sick from all this awful marathon coverage. You're a musician. You need to write a song for those people and what they're going through."

My initial reaction was to...

Job hunting. It's hard to think of a more frustrating, more humiliating experience.

Being reduced to a one-sheet and having to search through countless classifieds, for weeks or months on end, trying to figure out what you're qualified to do and how to make yourself sound more skilled and...

Wasted moments. Those fleeting snapshots in time that occur only for an instant, and then, if not seized, they're gone forever.

No one likes a wasted moment; not a guy watching his girl walk away, thinking about what he should've said and done, or, as in this past weekend's...

Let's face it. The process of adding - or subtracting - a category from an awards show is as hot of a debated topic as there is in showbiz. Case in point; look at the furor that was created in 2011 when the Grammys announced the removal of...

In Brian De Palma's classic 1987 detective thriller, The Untouchables, Sean Connery's character, the tough and gritty beat cop, Jim Malone, asks Kevin Costner's character, Eliot Ness, what he's prepared to do to catch infamous Chicago mob boss, Al Capone -- insinuating it's going to take more than a badge...

A few years back, I decided to relocate to Hoboken for the same reason most folks do; life in the big city was just a bit too crazy.

I had a few friends living in 'the 'boken' and they kept telling me how great it was; the cool shops,...

When the Superdome went dark for over half an hour, and the Baltimore Ravens had a 22-point lead over the San Francisco 49ers, there were many theories flying through the social media landscape as to what caused it:

One was that the NFL was punking the viewers, and...

Back in 2001, when the landscape of the Internet was still as uncharted as the Pacific was to the pioneers, I was honored to be asked to represent independent artists at the Copyright Hearings on Capitol Hill.

These days, I'm so "out of the loop," I'm lucky...

Adam Lanza's brother, Ryan, lives 50 yards away from me in Hoboken. The day of the shootings, as I stood outside my building, and I watched every reporter from every major network raise the issue of gun control, over and over again, I couldn't help but wonder, had any of...

As someone who supports the objective of Prop. 37, and any legislation/ideology that will force the bio-tech industry to come clean and tell us what, exactly, is in the foods we're eating, I was shocked to see, on Nov. 6, Californians vote to defeat the bill that would have mandated...

As a senior in high school in the mid-80s, math was for many, by far, the most dreaded subject. I was one of the many. Thus, upon being given the choice between Physics, or a new 'elective' -- in its fledgling year at our school -- entitled, "Bachelor Living," it...

November 1 - Stepping outside my apartment in Hoboken around 10 p.m. on Monday night, it really wasn't that bad. Occasional blustery winds and some sheets of rain, but, other than that, it really didn't seem like the monster storm we were expecting. That was, until I looked to the...

The worst part about a storm like this is the chaos it creates regarding the chain of communication. Nearly two weeks after the ocean breached the shores of Far Rockaway Beach, and wreaked havoc throughout the entire New York area, hundreds upon hundreds of the sick and elderly still have...

I hate to say "I told ya so," but, if you read my blog dated June 12, it basically states exactly what the NFL, and its merchandisers, are stating in a class action suit filed against Facebook yesterday in a California court.

The suit claims, because...

Finally! The perfect way to introduce your kids to the spiteful, hypocritical world of politics.

Just in time for the 2012 election!

Sitting in a packed theater, watching the re-enactment of a story that occurred over 30 years ago, I couldn't help but feel it was happening now. And, judging by the reactions of the people around me, I wasn't alone.

A half hour into the movie Argo, a cell phone...

Let's face it. Cell phones are like girlfriends; each one does something the other one doesn't do.
When it comes to the latest gift from the Apple Gods, it seems the iPhone5 is really no different.

Having owned Droids in one form or another for the past few years,...

Like countless elections before, almost everywhere you go and everywhere you look at the moment, the race to become the world's most powerful man is the main topic of conversation. The back and forth, tit-for-tat squabbling taking place on social media sites, on TV, and, in print, is the equivalent...

The first time I laid eyes on Samsung's Galaxy S3, it was love at first sight. The anticipation leading up to my early upgrade was almost unbearable. I couldn't wait to get that sleek, little baby in my hands. So much so, that I was telling everyone I could about...
