I profiled billy woods, a one-of-a-kind artist who is only getting better nytimes.com/2025/05/15/arts/…
"In every era since at least the ’60s, it’s been common for people who enter their 30s to comb through the totems of their youth in an attempt to understand where they came from and where they might be heading." I love Mark's writing & I love The Nightfly. pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…

Larry Smith, the man who gave us Run-DMC’s “Sucker MCs” and “Rock Box” and Whodini’s “Friends,” spent his final years in a nursing home as a ward of New York State.
HEARTWARMING: When legendary rapper Jay-Z, Michael Rubin, and Meek Mill surprised New England #Patriots owner Robert Kraft with his DREAM Bentley for his 80th birthday.

Screenwriters, filmmakers, read the article attached. I enjoyed Birdman and I never heard of this other movie Game 6 but I've experienced the industry insanity this article highlights. This story is the whole movie business in a nutshell.
"Amazing, the way the technological devaluation of all human striving can soften a person." nytimes.com/2026/10/06/magaz…
Your annual reminder that the plot of Birdman—anxious playwright played by Michael Keaton; lots of family conflict; an evil critic—has a lot in common with the movie Game 6, written years earlier by Don DeLillo, and that Ińárritu told me he's never heard of Game 6.
