Dan’s Favorite Films: The Godfather II & From Here To Eternity

Hello again! I hope you’re all having a great week!! I am proud to bring you more of my thoughts on two more classic movies:
11. THE GODFATHER - PART II –You really have to give a lot of respect to Coppola for pulling this one off. There could have been so many [...]

I’ll Take Fame, D.C., Or Manhattan, Part II

This week was supposed to have marked the launch of my career as a radio personality. I had fully intended on utilizing 100% of the latter to take over the world of talk radio. I’ve always maintained that world domination was a secondary goal of mine and primarily a device aimed at shock value, but [...]

Ribbed For Your Pleasure 07.26.04: It Was Thirty-Six Years Ago Today

Music That Matters
The Beatles – Hey Jude

Not really a “Beatles album” as much as it was a collection of B-sides and singles that were never on a proper LP, this 1970 release includes some of my favorite Beatles tunes, including the very underrated George Harrison composition “Old Brown Shoe” and of course, “Hey Jude.” [...]

Dan’s Favorite Films: Heat & The Godfather

Having just seen “An Affair to Remember” I am, once again, tempted to alter my list! Today I get to discuss two of my favorite Al Pacino movies. Pacino is another one of those actors (like the aforementioned Jimmy Stewart and Humphrey Bogart) who can’t help but keep a lot of himself in [...]

On Fame & Infamy

Fame or Infamy? Infamy, naturally.
Fame
I published my first book recently. Ok, this is slightly inaccurate. I actually co-authored a book and it was recently published. Ok, this is also a little misleading. While my name is on the cover, I actually only contributed the final chapter. Still, it’s my chapter. I own those [...]

Why Do We Care?

My apologies for being a week late with this but it was difficult to keep the focus in my intended direction. Last week a proposed Constitutional Amendment to outlaw gay marriage in the United States failed in the Senate on a procedural vote, never actually coming to the [...]

The Age Of Parity

The NFL strove for it. The cap brought it. Baseball would love it. A slew of NL teams are equipped to keep the Yankees from dominance again this year. But in the NBA, parity was elusive. Sure, any team in the West seemed to have [...]

Dan’s Favorite Films: Serendipity & Lawrence Of Arabia

I am very tempted to move further down my list and discuss my favorite running movie (“Prefontaine”) this week. I am sitting with an ice pack under my right foot since my foot is sore from running the Bronx Half-Marathon this morning. Nothing like a good run to inspire some writing…..ANYWAY:
7. Serendipity – [...]

Female Gyms: Are They Hot Or Not?

I’ve been an avid exercise freak for as long as I can remember. I’m not sure if it all started out as a means of bonding with my father or if it stemmed from some sort of compulsion to kick some serious ass and prove that anything a man could do a woman could do [...]

Dustin Glick’s No Bullshit Music Round-up 2

Prince, Benzos, The Stills, Madison Strays, Jazzanova guy, Ayro
One of the main perks of living in New York City is the sheer amount of music you can experience live. For example, last Friday, July 9th, I got to check out not one, but two FREE shows. Of course, I balanced out the free shows with [...]
