U2 at The Sphere

Everything about The Sphere is outstanding. The outside, finishes, lobby, concessions, bathrooms, and ushers. It's all so wonderful. Refik Anadol's moving art is one of the scenes that rotates on the outside along with advertising promoting Sphere shows (the advertising is also very well done). I collect some of Refik's

Rest In Paradise, Jimmy

I remember going to see Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band at Red Rocks just after Son Of A Son Of A Sailor came out, circa '79. Back then, Denver was a dusty old cowtown. It felt like a small town. Hell the total population of CO couldn't have

My Life as a Rolling Stone

Just watched the first episode featuring Mick. It was fabulous. I've been on every Rolling Stones tour since Some Girls. We were just in London for their 60 tour. This is must see tv. What I've always loved about the Stones is how they were anti-establishment, they stuck their tongue

Mission Accomplished - We're at War with Ourselves

I was the one with this sign at Sunday night's Phish show at Dick's: "Trumpers & The Religious Right Are The American Taliban" I abhor what's happening to us and I won't apologize. But this is the wrong message. I'm a proud American, an entrepreneur. I don't always get it right.
