This week Doug and I (god help us) spend a few minutes talking about the topic du jour, "cancel culture". As a 40 year subscriber to the Old Gray Lady Doug gives his take on Bari Weiss' resignation from the New York Times Op-Ed page and the long, complicated history of the New York newspaper scene. Does cancel culture exist or is it just a bunch of elites whining because everyone now has the opportunity to yell at them in real time about their crappy opinions?
From there we discuss the classic 1964 film A Hard Day's Night starring the Beatles, and the University of Vermont's upset of Syracuse in the 2005 NCAA Tournament.
Next Episode: We'll compare one of Doug's favorite movie/musicals, 1972's 1776 with the current cultural powerhouse that is Hamilton.
Music: 
The Temptations - Ball of Confusion (1970) 
The Ed Sullivan Show (1964) 
Kurtis Blow - Basketball (1984)

In these challenging and stressful times, we're here to keep your blood pressure in its sweet spot (120 over 80 according to the American Heart Association) by talking about the things that put us in our happy place. Starting in February of 2021 that thing will be the Muppet Show (1976-1981) as Doug and I go episode by episode through one of the seminal shows in television history. With a list of guest stars that reflect almost every popular cultural trend in post-war America, the Muppet Show is a fascinating time capsule from an important, though often ignored, period in American history.
