True Crime


I finally filed my review of John Huddy's book, "Storming Las Vegas" this week. I'll post the link when it runs (in The Miami Herald) on Tuesday 5/13.

I also recorded a review of the book for the Miami NPR station, WLRN-FM. I'm a cultural correspondent for the station's South Florida Arts Beat show, though I mostly seem to review Miles Davis albums. But I don't think Miles is releasing anything soon, so I guess I'm done with that, but you never know.

I'll post the text of the WLRN review here, as it includes a longish section reminiscing about Huddy's writing for the Herald in the seventies and eighties. I pitched the paper on an interview with the guy, but for various reasons, it ain't happenin', though I may still do something for Ed Bell and WLRN. The review is scheduled to air on Friday 5/30.

Here's a section of Steve Martin's recent memoir, excerpted in Smithsonian Magazine, that recounts the pivotal role Huddy played in his career.

Imagine! A critic playing a pivotal role in an artist's career!

Another question is, is there any louis vuitton bags that is priced cheap? Sadly, louis vuitton for sale is another of those costly LV purses. Despite being crafted from cotton canvas, Monogram Denim still remains expensive for $1,080 and you know the brand has to do with it. Well at least you’ll be looking like an girl as you tote this anyway. So there, as said, this bag is still designed with the famous Monogram Denim Patchwork . There are also smooth leather trimmings and clever pleating that adds feminine style to its rather plain shape.
