THE MORNING SHOW — The Apple TV+’s 4th episode The Inexperienced Mild was a considerably scattershot one. As a devoted viewer since Season One, this third season -with primarily an entire new crew and collection of writers- has been a season of the writers attempting desperately attempting 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 – actually, 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) house in East Hampton and lands on the seashore in entrance of his home, signaling that the Marks-deal to purchase UBA is again on. As Ellison says, “Alex Levy introduced house the bacon.”

There was one scene that in addition to 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 they usually began ingesting 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 ingesting 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 publish #Me To period, this scene was completely disturbing and completely not wanted. Type of disgraceful in the event you ask me.

However, disregarding that questionable scene, the episode was good and bodes properly 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 Pals (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 plenty of others – and stands as one in every of his strongest.

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

That mentioned, I proceed to listen to his model of “With A Little Assist From My Pals” actually every single day on NY’s Q1043.Bego provides: “The thought of penning this e-book about Joe Cocker first happened over a 12 months in the past after I was approached by a film producer to put in writing a screenplay concerning 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 usually 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 excellent learn – and is out formally November 16. As an added plus, there’s a particular launch occasion for this e-book which might be revealed subsequent week. Keep tuned because it’s fairly spectacular. 

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

SHORT TAKES — Van Morrison’s new album Intensify the Optimistic 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 have been simply terrific. In-between was one other nice Anthony Mason piece of U2’s opening at Vegas’ Sphere. Mason instructed me in a while “it was completely jaw dropping. And U2 wasn’t even sharing their finest stuff. When that shot of the desert crammed the display, and our TV digicam couldn’t seize its depth, I may have sat down and stared at it for hours” …

RIP Don Famularo and Blissful BDay Barbara Pepe!
