Numero uno: The wonderful souls at Omnibus Press have sent me a copy of Ian Hunter’s recently-reprinted 1972 classic tour memoir Diary of a Rock Star. Please purchase it after I’ve given it a rave review, so I will be sent more free books.

Numero dos: This is Lefty Rosenthal, who was played by Robert De Niro in Casino…

…and that’s the face he made at Congress when they asked him if he was a mobster.

Remember, kids: if you’re willing to take the beating, you can tell anyone to go fuck themselves.
