Better Call Saul is even better than its highly praised predecessor, Breaking Bad. The final season of 13 episodes begins on April 18.

My cable DVR says it’s going to record a preview this coming Saturday. After the final episode has appeared, TCM really will be the only reason for me to keep cable TV. The live channel is available with a Hulu subscription, but the Watch TCM streaming service requires a cable or satellite subscription.
Bob Odenkirk suffered a heart attack while he was on the set. He talked about it with Colbert a couple of weeks ago. I first started watching Breaking Bad after Colbert made references to it on his old Comedy Central show.
There’s a Jim Steranko fan group on Facebook, but Steranko himself doesn’t post there. He’s on Twitter.
I am incredulous at what William Barr said on today’s Meet the Press, to promote his book that I will not read. The entire interview with Chuck Todd is worth watching, but this video starts at the point where I realized I was reflexively shaking my head at Barr’s twisted illogic.
Barr says, “I believe the progressive wing of the Democratc party is dangerous for the United States.” Todd almost seemed to stop himself from asking, “more dangerous than an outgoing President inciting a riot to prevent the Constitutionally-mandated transfer of power?”
Today through May 29, Jim Steranko has an exhibit of his paintings at the Butler Institute of American Art, in Youngstown, Ohio.
I must take strong exception to the curator’s statement that Stan Lee considered Steranko to be “his best,” and “his right-hand man, in a way.” That distinction, without question, belonged to Jack Kirby.
Correction: Wendy Swick is not the curator, she is the Public Relations Coordinator at the museum.
Thanks, Jim Dawson, for the humorous acknowledgement.
Jim has taken up the radio reins on Luxuria Music that he shared for many years with the late Ian Whitcomb.
Ian’s stroke caused a marked change in his voice, as heard in this clip from a few years ago, during a pledge drive. Go to 32:00 minutes to hear my request for my sister Liz, who was delighted to hear this recording.
