My story that was published in the Baltimore City Paper in 2015, “The Goddamn Chuck Mangione Song,” is currently camped out behind the paywall of the behemoth that bought out the City Paper. The current owner is trash and the story used to be free anyway, so here you go:
“I seen a hundred dollar bill one time
Blowin' up against a chain link fence
I been walkin' around outside lookin' down at fences ever since.”
RIP Todd Snider, a hell of a songwriter.

Never mind the Louvre heist, everything I’ve heard about this case so far—rigged underground card games, extortion, etc.—tickles all the noir hairs. The best part—the current Justice Dept. are just the lot to completely botch the prosecutions. Now who’s got a line on that?

RIP Bobby Hart, who along with his songwriting partner Tommy Boyce wrote a string of hits in the sixties, mostly for the Monkees. I don’t have any Monkees records. I’ll have to correct that someday. But “Stepping Stone” is on this one, so…
