U2 is becoming this generation's Rolling Stones, and our children may in fact see them open for the Stones in 25 years.
Some thoughts on Buddhism: It's interesting that man is born impure, as opposed to the lack of original sin found in Catholicism. Buddhism seems like a journey to improve oneself. Be careful with these thoughts, because this comes from a person whose exposure to Buddhism include 1) living across the street from Richard Gere's private Buddhist library, and 2) stealing the Book of Buddha from a hotel in Los Angeles.
Thoughts on "The Departed": It should win a few Oscars. Don't make Jack angry.
Thoughts on the Golden Globes: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Globe for best actor goes to Eddie Murphy. Give it up for Eddie Murphy, starring next month in Norbit! He's got a great body of work, including Boomerang and Bowfinger. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2007 Golden Globe Best Actor, Eddie Murphy!
Thoughts on New York: New York is different things to different people, but one thing is for sure: everyone has his or her own private love affair with this city.
However, the city puts you face to face with poverty and class differences on a daily basis. One block to the west stand striking glass towers that house (according to rumor) Calvin Klein and Gisele, among others. Three doorstoops to the east lies a homeless man who my wife and I refer to as "our bum." He sets up his bed shortly after dusk and leaves sometime before we leave the house. We worry when he's not there.
Thoughts on the Arcade Fire: Okay, they are a good band. And popular, too. But really, five shows in New York that sell out in under 10 minutes? What does one have to do to get tickets? (No, I didn't get tickets. Yes, I had multiple browsers/tabs and was working the phone.)
Thoughts on my birthday: It's coming up.
