This video is late, and by late I mean three months late. I intended to do it first thing after vacation and I just kept getting sidetracked -- by other projects, by a broken camera, by an unexpected visit from my parents, by the fact that the scr...

Kelly Clarkson is divorced, y’all. I saw her in Vegas, right at the start of my vacation, and she may be one of the most divorced women I’ve ever seen. Not in an unpleasant or bitter way or anything, the night was a blast. But she was...

Okay, so here’s my issue: Killing people is weird. I mean, yes, I know it’s wrong, that’s the main thing, but also, it’s weird, right? Have you ever thought about that? How weird killing people is? Most people don’t do that! I just did a...

My deep dark secret is that I’ve never been much bothered by Kid Rock, or at least the vast majority of his career. I still like “Bawitdaba” and “Cowboy” as much as I did in junior high. I’ve never found “All Summer Long” particula...
