John Lennon’s 70th

Today would have been John Lennon’s 70th birthday. They have started a You Tube channel for him, coinciding with yet another compilation album release of his songs by you know who. Anyhow, on the You Tube channel, there are many birthday wishes recorded by celebrities and fans. Two we’ll share are fellow Beatle Ringo Starr, and quite a strange greeting from Jeff Bridges…

Apparently Julian and Yoko have made up, which we guess is nice…

Greg Guests on The Frank Nora Show

This was fairly impromptu, but Frank Nora, the Babe Ruth of Podcasting, was at the NAVA (North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados) meetup at the Digital Press Video Game store in Clifton, NJ, this past weekend, as was Greg. So we did a short interview. Frank you may remember was our guest on Episode 90 of the Paunch Show almost 3 years ago.

We talked about:

  • small US states,
  • the oldest living celebrity who recently died (Mitch Miller),
  • the Gabor sisters,
  • Frank’s tickets to Pee Wee on Broadway,
  • theatrical plays shown on closed circuit movie screens,
  • Journal Square in Jersey City, NJ,
  • Belleville Turnpike backroad through a marsh,
  • collecting classicvideo games,
  • Need for Speed World free MMO racing game.
