1 week ago | saturdayeveningpost.com | Cable Neuhaus

If you were a rock band in 1973, how would you know that you’d made it big? According to the chorus of Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show’s hit song of that year, recognition was properly acknowledged “when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.”Oh, how times have changed. The last time I visited Rolling Stone’s offices, the walls were lined with every cover it had ever published, an incredible galaxy. But the magazine’s agenda-setting swagger has dimmed over the years.

Mention U.S. Wine Trails, and immediately visions of California’s rolling Napa Valley, New York’s dramatic Finger Lakes, or Oregon’s mountain-framed Willamette Valley come to mind.

2 weeks ago | saturdayeveningpost.com | Troy Brownfield

One of the hottest topics in today’s entertainment revolves around theatrical versus streaming releases for films. It’s merely the latest in an ongoing series of platform slugfests that have been around since the ancestors wound up the Victrola. With the anniversary of the Betamax 50 years ago this month, it’s time to look at a few so-called “dead formats,” some of which surprisingly still exist and have a fanbase so fervent that there are conventions for them.

3 weeks ago | saturdayeveningpost.com | Andy Hollandbeck

Senior managing editor and logophile Andy Hollandbeck reveals the sometimes surprising roots of common English words and phrases.
