‘Against All Odds’: The Phil Collins Story (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are musical talents and then there are musical talents. And, then there’s singer/drummer/keyboardist/songwriter extraordinaire Phil Collins. His full name: Philip David Charles Collins. In my book Collins is a standout. His story deserves to be told. What’s interesting about this musical virtuoso is that he’s gotten where he has by being at the right place at the right time; probably more so him than anyone else in the field. It’s either that or it’s kismet. Hard to say which. I remember i
Should Train Travel Be About More Than Just Getting From Place To Place? The Short Answer: Yes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve heard horror stories about travelers in Japan riding trains being packed into passenger-rail conveyances like sardines in a can. I’ve seen commercials on tv showing people traveling on trains that are standing room only, standing patrons holding onto straps, one certain someone with presumably horrendous b.o., this odoriferously ripe individual making for all those within nose shot a most unpleasant riding experience. I could go on, but need I, really?? Train travel should be more than abou
Throwback Thursdays: My three years as Daily Kos Community correspondent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On September 8, 2026, I celebrated my third year as Community Correspondent at the Daily Kos. I also finally figured out how to turn off “Spell Check” and “Auto Correct” on my “old school” iPhone 7. Which now forces me to become an editor’s editor in terms of checking my own work. Which, I think is good if for no other reason than to keep me on my toes, editorially speaking. So, I embarked on this journey on September 8, 2023. I have to say over the course of that time it’s been a real learning-
How much weight was public input given in deciding final HSR-route selection? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back before the California high-speed-rail route was set in stone, Californians had numerous opportunities to weigh in on route possibilities. Many, in fact, in that regard did weigh in. Did any of that input have any bearing on where the high-speed-rail right of way in California would ultimately be placed? My gut reaction is the effect that input had was slim to none. On Sept. 8, 2011 (15 years ago) published at the California Progress Report was my “Public Comment Essential to Ensure Californ
And to think I could have owned race horses, possibly — Pt. 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On August 3rd, I told of how I might have come to be a race-horse owner had family circumstances worked out differently. My grandpa Philip (my dad’s dad) was tragically killed in a motor vehicle accident in Deming, New Mexico circa 1935. Granddad was only 30 years old at the time. My dad was just seven. Before my brother Bernard passed in 2016, lung cancer being his official cause of death, he confided in me that while on their way to Los Angeles, inside on the back seat of the car my grandpa wa
