BLAKE KRIKORIAN on how the SLINGBOX came to be... After so much talk and gossip over the years about everything but her music, It was so great to see LAURYN HILL in stellar form on the latest episode of AUSTIN CITY LIMITS. She's a treasure. On my bucket list to visit ACL. One of my all time favorite shows... #FirstSevenJobs: Sold my mother's SUSAN BENNIS/WARREN EDWARDS shoes at a homemade stand on my block for $20 a piece. Sold my sister's toys to the doormen in our building. Cabana boy at THE JOCKEY CLUB in MIAMI BEACH. Waiter at DORRIAN'S RED HAND. Club promoter in NEW YORK CITY. Paid intern at SBK RECORDS/EMI MUSIC PUBLISHING. CEO of MISCHIEF NEW MEDIA...

Though this has liberated artists, consumers are now drowning in a virtually infinite supply of things to watch, listen to and read. Our REDEF Original, Age of Abundance: How the Content Explosion will Invert the Media Industry... We have these TV OTT services that are called "Go" or "Anytime". But those words don't deliver because they lack this key feature I wrote about a long time ago, downloading. NETFLIX doesn't have it. STARZ and AMAZON do. We're not in a fast wi-fi everywhere world. We're not close... If you're a brand focusing on online retail. How do you compete with AMAZON shipping? Especially brands that sell on their own site and on Amazon. You're trying to own the customer relationship, but can you really compete?... I'd like to see every American get a travel grant even before education. Travel is the best education and hopefully a passport beyond ignorance and isolationism... HANK AZARIA stealing this season of RAY DONOVAN. ERIC BALFOUR as douchebag talent agent also scores... One day I hope to just say a lot of stuff about local and global issues that I have no clue about and be a nominee for POTUS... Someone suggested I do cupping on my mouth... Happy Birthday to JEFF BERMAN.
