Episode Synopsis
Join Mike for coffee at night in the studio, and later for a cocktail outside on the patio.Topics this week include a lament on the university building where I had my first college class some years ago being demolished this week in a spectacular Las Vegas-style kind of violence; thoughts on why it’s important to temper our nostalgia, because nostalgia has led us down some uncertain and shady paths lately; reviews of two druggy movies I watched recently — “Requiem for a Dream” and “Trainspotting”; what is a drug?; heroine chic; the wild spirit of 90’s indie-filmmaking; drug trafficking in modern America and a book review of “Among the Bros” by Max Marshall, which is about that very thing, and much more!“The Midnight Citizen” drops every Saturday night, so be sure to, ya know…Be sure to join the Facebook page and find me on Instagram! …”Well, I got a meeting out West!”This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike US License.
