It's no secret that I'm a huge podcast fan. The podcast that keeps me coming back is WTF with Marc Maron. 

This week's episode features Michael Moore, filmmaker of scores of documentaries. The discussion highlighted Moore's latest effort titled, Where To Invade Next as well as his previous film releases including Roger and Me, Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 911 and Sicko.

WTF's podcast episode 675 contains a wonderful conversation with Moore, but talk of his books was absent. I fondly remember loving Dude, Where's My Country? and my favorite, Stupid White Men, which I reviewed here. After that review, I got the chance to meet the legendary filmmaker. Michael is an intelligent and humble person who loves to converse and listen to stories. 

Anyway, if you get a chance, listen to the podcast episode here.

Take time out for Virginia’s Shenandoah region

About 30 years ago my family made a classic 1970s trek to Washington, D.C. Even though the sights and sounds of D.C. left an impression on me, it was the trip through Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley that introduced me to the region’s natural beauty. Dressed in our blue “Virginia Is For Lovers” T-shirts (which I kept for several years after), we rolled down the windows of our spacious Oldsmobile to take in the scenery.

Flashback: Billy Joel's Sax Player (Mark Rivera profile-March 2007)

-
It is 2:30 in the afternoon at Midtown Atlanta's Four Seasons Hotel and Mark Rivera is pacing his hotel suite bursting with ideas. The task of keeping up with Rivera's thoughts is daunting to say the least. The words explode from him like a Fourth of July fireworks show on steroids. From stories of working with John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel and most notably -- becoming Billy Joel's ever-conspicuous sax player/backup vocalist, Rivera is on a big, white, puffy cloud every time he conjures up those legendary memories. Who wouldn't be? The challenge for Rivera on this balmy late-February afternoon is to fit those anecdotes and personal thoughts on the future and state of the world into a half-hour conversation which must conclude before he boards a bus to Birmingham for his role in that evening's Billy Joel show. Indeed Rivera will be back in his Atlanta hotel room in about 48 hours, but there will be no time for follow-up questions. He will be handling...
