My friend Justine over at the always-interesting Eclectic Odds N Sods asked early this a.m. from over there in the U.K., “What happens to you at full moon?” That was her entry into some pretty cool photographs of the lunar situation over at her side of the big pond. She’s good with the lens. Check…
Johnny Depp goes deep in his comedy closet in “Mortdecai,” while Gwyneth Paltrow as his wife is funny while using different tools. You can read my take about the farce directed by David Koepp from a screenplay by Eric Aronson as today’s weekly Film Blog review post on the Syracuse New Times site by clicking…
Jeff Jones was always a good, smart guy to be around when I worked the music and entertainment beat for the big daily. Leading the historic glam-rock band Dracula Jones. Fronting the Americana band Pale Green Stars. Being a citizen of Syracuse. I like the guy. He’s sent over a couple of emails of late,…
The 21-year-old who sounds like an old soul blues singer won’t be trying to match up with the young pop world of “American Idol” in Hollywood after all. My good friend and former colleague Melinda Johnson reports this morning on syracuse.com that Kohlton Pascal of Auburn and Skaneateles and Syracuse, N.Y., has decided to pass…
Always on the lookout for new stuff, my iPhone 6 came out of my pocket as I approached the parking-lot-side entrance to the pedestrian bridge at Syracuse mega shopping, dining and entertainment complex Destiny USA.

I had the opportunity to head the Chevy Cruze north Tuesday morning for a 70-mile drive up Interstate 81 to the city of Watertown. It was a rather pleasant 20 degrees F when I pulled out of the driveway of the beloved Little Bitty my dear wife Karen and I share in the Syracuse city…
Normally I’d shy away from leading my Thursday Film News blog with the same movie I reviewed to start the week. I can’t help myself in the case of “American Sniper.” To call the blockbuster about the life and death of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle increasingly controversial is somewhat of an understatement. To read today’s…
I saw a band from Albany play the songs of Elvis Presley at a bar in Syracuse last week. The Lustre Kings were on tour to celebrate what would have been the King’s 80th birthday. The rockabilly band led by guitarist and singer Mark Gamsjager had a fun time entertaining the fans at the Dinosaur…
Christiane Page’, “The Road” Hondo Mesa Records Christiane Page’ splits time between New York and New Mexico, according to the liner notes to her debut CD just released by the Hondo Mesa label of Syracuse, N.Y. A bit of research reveals that Page’ was a scholar and educator at Syracuse University, a natural discovery considering…
I know I am a man for peace. And against war. I know I am a man who supports the soldiers who fight for our country, without question. The conflict within those two beliefs reared its emotional and complicated head in my stomach again as I sat with hundreds of other folks rapt in attention…
