THE MORNING SHOW — The Apple TV+’s 4th episode The Inexperienced Gentle was a considerably scattershot one. As a devoted viewer since Season One, this third season -with primarily a complete new crew and collection of writers- has been a season of the writers making an attempt desperately making an attempt to familiarize themselves with their characters.

This episodes does reference some previous moments, with Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) specifically. It additionally develops the connection between Jon Hamm and Jennifer Aniston – the truth is, after a fairly odd rendezvous at Coney Island -of all places- they take Hamm’s helicopter (essaying an Elon Musk-like Paul Marks) to Cory Ellison’s (Billy Crudup) dwelling in East Hampton and lands on the seaside in entrance of his home, signaling that the Marks-deal to purchase UBA is again on. As Ellison says, “Alex Levy introduced dwelling the bacon.”

There was one scene that apart from being completely disturbing, I may’t fairly work out why it was there in any respect. Stella Bak (Greta Lee) was at a restaurant with two advert males, angling for a collection of advert buys and so they began consuming closely. At one level Stella requested the waitress to maintain her drinks coming, however with water. Then the advert males challenged Stella to see if she was actually consuming and requested the waitress to lean over the desk and lick up a spilled drink … and, giving her a $20,000 tip. The waitress did and later Stella collapsed with anger in her limo. Within the submit #Me To period, this scene was completely disturbing and completely not wanted. Form of disgraceful when you ask me.

However, disregarding that questionable scene, the episode was good and bodes nicely for the remainder of the season.

COCKER POWER — We acquired an advance copy of Mark Bego’s Joe Cocker: With A Lot of Assist from His Mates (Yorkshire Publishing) and actually loved it. It’s Bego’s 68th e book – after efforts on Michael Jackson; Bonnie Raitt; Sade; Madonna; Freda Payne; Sade; Billy Joel; Elton John and lots of others – and stands as considered one of his strongest.

Cocker might not be within the Rock and Roll Corridor of Fame – however he needs to be. The 12 months Cocker died, Billy Joel interviewed in a documentary in regards to the lifetime of Cocker, admitted he hand delivered a petition to get him included within the corridor earlier than his dying. The Corridor refused and he has not been inducted.

That stated, I proceed to listen to his model of “With A Little Assist From My Mates” actually every single day on NY’s Q1043.Bego provides: “The concept of penning this e book about Joe Cocker first took place over a 12 months in the past once I was approached by a film producer to write down a screenplay in regards to the life and music of this legendary singer.  I grew to become so engrossed with him as a topic that I used to be impressed to take it a step additional and write a complete e book about Joe’s typically self-destructive life.  In some ways, Cocker was just like the Vincent Van Gogh of rock & roll … a genius, however self-destructive.”

With an amazing foreword from Melanie – his Woodstock-compatriot – it’s an incredible learn – and is out formally November 16. As an added plus, there’s a particular launch occasion for this e book which will likely be revealed subsequent week. Keep tuned because it’s fairly spectacular. 

And Bruce Morrow (aka Cousin Bruce) gave the e book a rave evaluation on his Saturday-night pre-show video. Bravo!

SHORT TAKES — Van Morrison’s new album Intensify the Constructive is his forty fifth album and is superlative. That’s why they name him Van the Man! …Blissful 104th to Musso & Frank…

I watched Saturday’s CBS This Morning and simply cherished it. Anchors Michelle Miller, Dana Jacobson and Jeff Glor had been simply terrific. In-between was one other nice Anthony Mason piece of U2’s opening at Vegas’ Sphere. Mason informed me afterward “it was completely jaw dropping. And U2 wasn’t even sharing their greatest stuff. When that shot of the desert stuffed the display, and our TV digital camera couldn’t seize its depth, I may have sat down and stared at it for hours” …

RIP Don Famularo and Blissful BDay Barbara Pepe!
