Singer Steve Martin Caro was one of the best vocalists in pop music, Michael Brown one its best composers. Although their career was brief they left us much music to be cherished.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan at the San Gennaro Festival, 1980. I live right around the corner and remember when it was announced he was making an appearance my wife and I said who the hell would want to see him! The son of a woman from the neighborhood was in his Secret Service detail.
