A Little Ditty About Kerri and Nikki: Part Two
Part one can be read here. ALL ABOUT NIKKI IN 11 QUESTIONS Nikki Sixx. What hasn’t he accomplished? He’s a legend of rock. A fashion designer. A photographer and a bestselling author. And, oh yes, he’s (naturally) a record label president. Nikki Sixx wears many hats; just don’t mess up his perfectly messed-up ‘do. His […]
A Little Ditty About Kerri and Nikki: Part One
After a few decades in the business, Nikki Sixx is still scrambling our brains with his misnomers and his mania, still talking about life and music like it’s his last seconds behind the mic. We could say he’s one of the few constants in our music-listening lives. He’s been up to every challenge life has […]

The studio came to a complete halt. My decidedly New York-union commercial crew was mesmerized by a post that hit the grip’s Twitter account. “Cashman just told A-Rod he should just shut the fawk up on Twittaw. He’s a badass.” From there it was wall-to-wall Noo Yawk Tawk, because after all, there are only two […]

Experience the Le Gray, Beirut
CampbellGray Hotels is a mad scientist when it comes to hypothesizing potential hotel destinations and while their latest seems the craziest of them all, it isn’t. The Le Gray Beirut was referred by a colleague on my trek through Lebanon in 2011 replete with all of the hyperbole you might expect from a seasoned travel […]
Old Works. Great Memories.
Back in 1992, a young Media Guy teamed with an old art critic to dive into some amazing work at the Australian National Gallery. Here’s an excerpt from one of my favorite passages and works.
