As we decide what to do with the former President -- whose name shall not be spoken -- we narrow our eyes and take a look at Joe Biden, while anticipating a couple of the problems he just won't be able to solve, like the persistence of able-ism in the absurd tradition of clapping our hands together at the end of, well, anything.

We also look forward to science returning to the forefront of pop culture, and we can't help but see a resurgence of shows like Caroline in the City, movies like "What the Bleep..." and authentic, culturally interesting and exotic music like we once got from The Buena Vista Social Club (original motion picture soundtrack) and David Byrne, once he freed himself from the cage of pop music stardom and allowed himself to FEEL the music he was truly meant to play, which was more of a Ricky Ricardo kind of feel.

In the midst of all this looking forward, we also take a look back at a different time in New York City, the golden era of the late 1980's-1990's, before the city was ruined by squares and you could still worship your goddess to your heart's content at a real NYC foot glory hole.

A great start for 2021 and Season 3!
