FEBRUARY 21st UPDATE: And here’s a (kinda?) alternative view of the whole thing.

WBLS And WLIB Saved–By The Late KISS-FM’s Corporate Creator?

Wow, does time change things! A loooong time ago, Ennis Communications Corporation was viewed by some Blacks as the white enemy out to destroy New York City’s Black radio. Now, I hope it saves it!

AAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Not just a King problem either, because X also marks the sad stain.)

Okay, now that I’ve done that…..

Read this and listen to this.

FEBRUARY 21st UPDATE: The King story is moving forward, as shown here.

NOT Obsessed With PBS’ “Sherlock” ;)

Yes, the end of Season Three–my first!–was amazing. If, just a month ago, you would have told me that I would be fiending for a Sherlock Holmes drama, I would have laughed in your face. But I didn’t know then that the show was done by the “Doctor Who” folks.

My favorite moment of Season Two:

My second-favorite moment of Season Two (unfortunately, in fragments):

My favorite moment of Season Three:

(Not-Irrelevant-Aside: The Christmas Mini-Episode Between Seasons 2 and 3:)

So the long wait for Season Four begins. Now I know what my friends who are “Boardwalk Empire” and “Mad Men” fans go through!

At least I have an entire season, Season Two, left to watch in order to catch up. And this, which I ignored when it aired in mid-December.

And now, some goofiness:

Sesame Street!

And there was no way some fanboy wasn’t going to do the digital mashup below. (It has more than two million hits.) The Doctor looks like he’s in love with Sherlock, but originally he was seducing a brand-new, young, attractive female potential companion (which, if you watch “Doctor Who,” is not actually as creepy as it probably reads 🙂 ).
