"... the boozy, Vegas-stomping, strip-club-hopping, Sammy Davis Jr.–fawning life he describes, in vomit-in-the-office-trash-can detail, is emulated by mainstream media personalities today!" --LA Weekly

"...a potpourri blog... a mash-up of retro stars, LA stories, forgotten details, well-worn memories, breaking scoops, all mixed in with a little spritz of analysis. (And damn---excellent grammar and sentence structure from our host!! That you certainly won't find on too many media blogs.)" --Anonymous commenter, 10.24.07
"Dear Burt: While you always had quite a flair for the dramatic, you never had much regard for the truth... Apparently you can't be bothered to read anything carefully. Maybe that is why you, like O'Reilly, make half your crap up. Glad to hear you finally got sober." -- Barry Nolan, 04.12.08
"Hey! Who said Burt got sober?" -- Tabloid Baby, 04.12.08

oh boy...they were wonderful. and gregory...remember him in his heyday. astonishing jazz RIFFS..with his FEET.
often they didn't even seem to MOVE, and continued to make sounds like gosh. i don't know. like a heavenly cross between lionel hampton, and buddy rich.
Nevard said it so well. When I first saw film of "Hines, Hines & Dad" moving, I reverently stayed still and just watched--and listened. Magic.
First seeing Gregory just walk across a room made me say, Who is this guy?! I felt clumsy just sitting as he did his thing. He was in control in a classy fluid way. We lost him waaaaay too soon.
Gregory's talent inspired me to look at where he came from. How cool was it to have been known as The Hines Kids, then, as Gregory and his brother, Maurice, and the other "Kid," their Dad, got older, they changed their stage name to The Hines Brothers. In the early sixties they became Hines, Hines & Dad.
Gregory and I were born in the same year (1946), and in the late sixties and seventies I spent a lot of time in Harlem, and got to meet one of Dad's contemporaries, Honi Coles, who ran the talent at the Apollo. Cool cat, also. Great mover. He's gone, too. Hoofers, man. Artists all.
