Magician Asi Wind with an absolutely astonishing set of one on one mentalism. One YouTube commentator said he should be on Penn & Teller’s Fool Us. He has, and he’s fooled them badly.

My guest, Doug Kari, author of The Berman Murders, looks back at a double murder from more than 35 years ago and takes the reader through an international  labyrinth of deceit and crime that leads to the killer—who, by the way, has never been prosecuted for those murders. I was happy to be talking with journalist and lawyer Doug Kari, author of The Berman Murders.

Well, Paul Simon has passed his 2 billion figure so far, so perhaps there is hope. The phrase is from his song on his new album, Seven Psalms, “Your Forgiveness.”

Urzula!

Monday Morning, “Papaya.” I owned the album Urszula which had this song on it, “Papaya,” because in 1975 I worked for a short time in a record store in Grand Central Station, and the manager, who was a jazz freak, insisted we all listen to it. I immediately bought it. The singer was a Polish jazz singer named Urszula Dudziak, and she had the most amazing range. “Papaya” was by far the most commercial track. The rest of the album was filled with incredible sonic experiments which were so far out (and according to my roommate at the time, maximally annoying) that they made Frank Zappa seem like bubble gum pop.
