KCCK da Blues with Bobby D
Hey, last night Bobby D, Bob DeForest was covering the Friday night blues show and I heard a song that was new to me, “You Can’t Judge a Book by the Cover” by Albert Castiglia and featuring Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. First of all, I found out a lot of people don’t understand the title and…

Baptism for a Lightweight
This post is a blast from the past. Before I published the handbook for consultation-liaison psychiatry over 15 years ago, I suggested a blog post for the Cambridge University Press author web site.

Sena told me that one of the DJs at Iowa radio station KOKZ 105.7 is going on a field trip somewhere to milk cows and who knows, maybe he’ll tip one or two. Hey, that’s up to 25% now, bud. There is a very long Wikipedia article on cow tipping, by the way if you’re…

Could Ray Bradbury Have Been Lyrical About Isolation & Ebola?
I got this fascinating comment on one of my posts, (Do We See Each Other”), I wrote last year about one of Ray Bradbury’s short stories, entitled “I See You Never.” Judy’s remark was right on target, “Sometimes fiction mirrors life too painfully.” I don’t know whether Bradbury’s short story she called “The Lighthouse” is…
