REMINDER: TAKE THE 2020 OFFICE HOURS READER POLL!
To give you the best newsletter and podcast possible, I need your help. Take 2 mins to fill out the 2020 Office Hours Reader Poll at the link below. The more subscribers that participate, the better Office Hours gets. I made you a fancy button to click and everything. Do it on the toilet, I don’t care!
CULTURE THINGS
Cousin Samantha got a lovely write-up in the New York Times!
BTW: If you order her new book from her local bookstore, she’ll write you a personalized message and they’ll send it to you!
MUSIC THINGS:
I’ve been looking up old Top of the Pops performances. Come for the pop hits, stay for the insane fits.
Look at Nick Lowe!
I NEED MORE RESPECT PUT ON LOOSE ENDS NAME OUT HERE.
When I am old, I will show this video to my grandchildren and say, “This was George Michael. He was a STAR.”
