#335 - BILL'S EXCELLENT EUROPEAN ADVENTURE (AND AFRICA, TOO)
Send us a textI want you to explore the world! With a little creativity and ingenuity--and a willingness to get out of your comfort zone--you can have experiences that will open your eyes to people and places that will enhance your life in ways you can't imagine. In this episode, I describe my trip in October to places many people don't often visit. It began with a cruise with my family--including my parents who are in their 90s--beginning in Lisbon and stopping in Madeira, the Canary Islands, Morocco, and Spain. Following debarkation in Barcelona, without any...

No. 246: Billy Hogart
Not many people can tell a story like a Hogart, and Billy is as good as any of them.He grew up on Copper Street, one of five children of Bill and Mary Carol. Mike, Michelle, Jack and Pam are the other four.If they weren’t born with a ball in their hands, the Hogart kids were certainly raised with one — even if it was held together with electrical tape. Billy excelled at baseball, a game that he picked up when he was 4 or 5 when his uncle Dan hit him fly balls in the Dubl...

Major Battle Ensues: Shocking CA Bill Banning Schools From Telling Parents About Kids' Gender Transitions Could Become Law
As the debate over parental rights forges on, California Gov. Gavin Newsom will soon have to decide whether to sign a new bill with sweeping ramifications."California schools would be banned from telling parents about their children’s gender transition under a bill headed to the desk of Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom," The Washington Times Valerie Richardson writes. "Assembly Bill 1955 would prohibit school staffers and volunteers from informing parents about their child’s 'sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression' without the student’s consent, seeking to thwart parental notification policies passed by local school boards."This...

Billy Starr on How He Channeled His Grief to Create the World’s Most Successful Sports Fundraiser, the Pan-Mass Challenge
Nearly 45 years ago, Billy Starr lost his mother, an uncle, and a cousin, all to cancer. Looking for a purpose and outlet for his grief, he and a small circle of friends decided to take a long bike ride across most of the state of Massachusetts, while raising money for cancer research. That first “event,” in 1980, raised just over $10,000. But that was just beginning, and through the years since, Billy has stayed with this idea, growing it into the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), which is now the country’s largest sports fundraiser by far, with proceeds going to the Dana Farber Can...

Reboot It: Viewers Choice: Jurassic Park with Waterworld?
The votes are in, the choice is clear and the reboot is BONKERS ... Jurassic Park spent 4 years as the highest-grossing movie of all time, unseated only when Titanic cruised onto the scene. Steven Spielberg's masterpiece of man vs. nature was the perfect mash-up of sci-fi thriller and family adventure, and it reinvented special effects for the modern era. But Universal milked the same formula into irrelevance with 4 (soon to be 5, with the sequel to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) sequels that never quite found something interesting to do with the human characters.

Abbott and Costello helped transform the Universal Monsters into film's first multi-franchise continuity.

From attempts in the 90s to reproduce the success of Coppolla's auteur horror in Bram Stoker's Dracula, to the series of false starts in the 2000s with the likes of Benecio Del Toro's Wolfman and (franchise killer) Luke Evans' Dracula Untold, to the cynical SHIELD-izing of monster h...

Reboot It: Indiana Jones
The greatest action hero of the twentieth century is no longer cool! With an old-fashioned sensibility, set in an old-fashioned era, with an old star playing an old-fashioned character with old-school fighting skills, Indiana Jones seems tailor-made to fail in the era of mega-budget action-epic blockbusters. Plus, we all remember what happened the LAST time they tried to revive this franchise. So, yeah, we should definitely reboot it.

Reboot It: Back to the Future
Marty McFly and Doc Brown wrote the rules of time travel for a generation. Boasting iconic performances from Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Tom Wilson, Crispin Glover, and Lea Thompson, with a magnificent structure, a satisfying ending, and, most of all, a really important sense of time and place, the Back To The Future series feels like it should stand unmolested as arguably the greatest family adventure of all time. So we're gonna go ahead and reboot it. BILLY BUSINESS: https://www.twitter.com/billyapatterson ED GREER: https://www.twitter.com/edgreerdestroys RON SWALLOW: https://w...

Reboot It: Wolverine in the MCU
The only cinematic Logan film lovers have ever known retired on a majestic high note. Hugh Jackman's casting was perfect. The loss is still fresh. Bringing back Wolverine with a whole new actor in a whole new story feels like sacrilege. And making him the first big mutant movie in the MCU feels destined to fail. So we’re gonna go ahead and do that.

Billy Hew Len in the 1980s
By the time the 80s rolled around, Billy Hew Len was the elder statesman of the local music scene – having known, played with, or recorded with every shining star in the small constellation of Hawaiian music luminaries. He continued to work the Waikiki hotel lounges as well as the evening lu’au which catered to tourists – making him one of the most heard steel guitarists ever and a sound instantly recognizable with Hawai’i.The recordings slowed, but then so, too, did almost all recordings of traditional Hawaiian music by all artists of an era that seemed to be slipping...

Billy Hew Len in the 1960s
After the loss of his left hand in a tragic accident, Billy Hew Len miraculously regained the ability to play the steel guitar through a one-of-a-kind invention: a leather glove with the steel bar attached to it. But this was still a less than perfect compromise that still required that Billy work exponentially harder to conquer what was already one of the most difficult of musical instruments. Ultimately Billy turned to another device that would help him overcome his deficits and create his own sound, but he took an even bigger risk in doing so...

Billy Hew Len in the 1950s
We’re spending the week looking at Billy Hew Len’s life and music not only in honor of his January 18th birthday, but because he was one of the most recorded and most sought after sidemen in the history of Hawaiian music. But his story is also an inspirational one - a tale of triumph over adversity. As a student of the steel guitar myself, I listen to Billy Hew Len for endless hours, and I aspire to attain his level of not only technical proficiency, but also creativity and inventiveness. But, alas, apparently I have a handicap. I ha...
