…Bono!
I personally don’t want to hear your political views.
Same for you, Peter, Paul and Mary.
I resent the fact that you’ve used your concerts - where myself and many others have come and bought a ticket to hear you perform - to force upon us your personal political treatises that, odds are, aren’t shared by many people here in attendance.
Ah, but [...]
At the journalism symposium I mentioned previously, one of the panelists was the News Director of WHAM-TV, Rochester NY’s CBS affiliate. I found a comment of his eye-opening. Someone in the audience asked him why soccer didn’t get the same television coverage in America that baseball, football and basketball enjoy.
He answered to the affect, and [...]
Awhile back I was invited by Dr. Susan Barnes, Journalism Professor, to participate in a symposium she was coordinating at Rochester Institute of Technology, called Journalism in the Digital Age. There were several panel discussions and presentations that day, given by local and national media folks. I and five other bloggers participated on a panel discussion: [...]

One night about 9:30, Fran woke to loud knocking at her front door. Living on Alexander Street in the heart of the City of Rochester, she was accustomed [...]

There was an actual apartment building, where Fran had her office, and an old mansion, where Shawcross had his apartment…right across the driveway from Fran. The two spoke almost daily - Fran, a [...]
In 1990 Arthur Shawcross, a.k.a. The Genesee River Killer, was sentenced to 250 years in prison for the murder of eleven women, here in Rochester, NY. His victims were strangled or beaten to death; many were mutilated. Prior to coming to Rochester, he had sexually abused and murdered a ten-year-old boy and an eight-year-old girl, [...]
In 2006 I wrote an article on Phillip Seymour Hoffman, on the eve of his Capote Oscar, for the arts magazine, Metropolitan, in Rochester, NY - his and my hometown.
I interviewed his former high school drama teacher from the suburb of Fairport, a quiet town with solid neighborhoods, where parents and teachers communicate with each other. Phillip’s [...]
Nope. Del committed suicide. But I see a question mark on the wall. Tom Petty released the album Full Moon Fever in April 1989, which included the single, Runnin’ Down the Dream. In the song Tom describes driving down the highway and “…me and Del were singin’ Little Runaway,” as in, Del was singing on the [...]
