Last year we discovered a COVID relief fund meant for struggling arts venues had given $200M+ to wealthy musicians. But we didn't know HOW they spent it — until now. We got the literal receipts, with @TheNewsHam and @ByKLong reviewing thousands of pages of accounting docs

I ran into one of the Buffalo Sabres in the elevator at the Prague hotel. They were in town to play the New Jersey Devils. He invited me to the game but I was performing that night.

RIP Shelley Duvall, one of the most unique and expressive actors in all Hollywood history, seen here in (arguably) her greatest role as Millie Lammoreaux in 3 Women (1977).

Blasphemous masterpiece. The perfect film to watch before Easter!
Evening viewing recommendation? Only a few more days to watch Ken Russell's X-rated spectacle THE DEVILS ('71)—a deliriously overheated, blasphemous tale of sexual frenzy & demonic possession in a 17th-century convent—before it leaves the @criterionchannl! bit.ly/4csEUnp
