I have mixed feelings about Bob Greene, as I've written here before, but I still bought his latest book, "Late Edition: A Love Story," a nostalgic memoir about his newspaper days.
The Wall Street Journal has an article about it here. They say it's schmaltzy, which is unsurprising, but I like Greene's writing style so much that I can handle schmaltz from him that would probably grate on me if it came from another writer.
I'm an entertainment editor at MSNBC.com, and have maintained Pop Culture Junk Mail since August, 1999. The New York Times called the site "one of the best places to explore pop culture online," and Entertainment Weekly included it on their Top 100 Web Sites list. If you like weird food, strange products, and 1970s and 1980s nostalgia, PCJM is your home away from home.
I have a brand new BOOK, written with Brian Bellmont. "Whatever Happened to Pudding Pops? The Lost Toys, Tastes and Trends of the '70s and '80s." Buy it online, and follow our retro reminiscing on our GenXtinct blog,Facebook, and Twitter.
