I love Gary Cohen but he gets a little ahead of himself in using the word “perfect” to describe a pitcher who hasn’t allowed a hit or base on balls in 5 innings. Save it for the 8th inning. #Mets

Top 10: April 11, 1970

Classic Rock Magazine calls my new book, "Within You Without You: Listening to George Harrison" (Oxford Univ. Press), "...meticulously researched, including two curious chapters on Harrison's links with Ronnie Spector and Peggy Lee."
