The 9th Annual Team Evie Holiday Book Drive launches today! While in treatment at CHLA, my daughter looked forward to the Literally Healing book cart that would stop by her room every day. The drive aims to keep new books flowing to kids who really could use the escape.

"Dylanologists can be slightly unreasonable about minutiae. If I got a name or date wrong, they would know, and more so, they would tell me."

In 1973 I was 10 years old when director Sidney Lumet and cinematographer Arthur J. Ornitz shot this scene from Serpico on 150th St & Amsterdam. Only two blocks from where I lived, this was the first film I saw made in my city, but it wouldn't be the last. substack.com/@michaelagonzal…

There's something fitting about ending SIDE B with @NathanBorn2010 's.” It brings the series full circle to what Zevon did so well: finding the absurdity, dark humor & danger in people whose worlds are coming apart.
