This makes me think of the Bridge in William Gibson’s excellent book . Plastic sheets, industrial lighting, a second floor entrance carved into the roof above, the booze stand was popular with locals.

Walked by Papaya King on 86th and was relieved to know it was still there.

I was going to title this episode You, Me, Big Oil, and Dupre but I don't know how many mediocre '06 romcom fans there are out there.

Nite Owls sits down with analyst, former oil executive, outspoken renewable energy advocate, and author Jack Kerfoot to talk about this conundrum, how to change culturally conservative minds, and his book, 'Fueling America: An Insider's Journey'.

Great talk, grab it where you get your podcasts at!

Back at it for 2021 after triple checking the US wasn't going to collapse into weird culture war fiefdoms!

My guest is Steve Nice of Nice Management and Consulting and we had an awesome conversation on the domino effect of life and the odd turns life takes. We retrace his steps from Buffalo to LA, chat about hockey, managing bands, working at a label, and getting into the world of music supervisors, The OC, securing music syncs and consulting with artists like Siddhartha Khosla (Goldspot, composer for This Is Us), Scars On 45, and Van Hunt, to name a few.

Whenever the government provides opportunities in privileges for white people and rich people they call it “subsidized” when they do it for Negro and poor people they call it “welfare.” The fact that is the everybody in this country lives on welfare. Suburbia was built with federally subsidized credit. And highways that take our white brothers out to the suburbs were built with federally subsidized money to the tune of 90 percent. Everybody is on welfare in this country. The problem is that we all to often have socialism for the rich and rugged free enterprise capitalism for the poor. That’s the problem.
