Arts, Briefly

Ha ha! That's the name of a column in the New York Times. I've decided to steal it. First: I am happy to report that yesterday's MGMIEET has now enjoyed 25 viewings on YouTube. What is that, a 1200% increase? We modestly assert that this is the work of the "blog," like when we got Phyllis Diller on the Tonight Show that time. Finally: McNeil has been watching HOOK, LINE & SINKER. (Ampersand ours.) "I'm not sure why they released it," he says. The "blog" needs to see for itself.
