Since I often forget who has and hasn’t been covered in this Awesome Men Throughout History series, I go back through the archives every so often to see who I’ve written about. It’s an impressive gallery of men, no doubt, but the fact that I’ve overlooked Bootsy Collins for this long is downright criminal. Why

When I mention Brie Larson, I could immediately start talking about her role in ?Short Term 12,? just released and for which she won the best actress at the Locarno International Film Festival. I could write about her supporting roles in two additional well-reviewed movies, ?Don Jon? which also stars the lovely Scarlett Johansson and

The two most common destinations for my road trips are Lake Havasu City, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada. Sometimes I need to get some food along the way, or stretch my legs after finally escaping the Los Angeles traffic snarls. If I don?t stop for Chick-fil-a along the 210 as I speed to make it

This week’s Self Made Man is an entertainer, but not one who grew up poor and sang/played himself rich. No, this man’s story is a little weirder, which makes sense because he’s Weird Al Yankovic. Al isn’t someone you’d think of when making a list of entrepreneurs, and he probably doesn’t consider himself to be

Since the bulk of my readers are guys, I think it’s safe to talk about farts and how hilarious they are. I don’t know too many other men who feel differently, and I often use the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles as something of a Voight-Kampff test on people. If they don’t laugh, they’re to

I am confused by the fact that astrology is still around. Other artifacts representing the 70s in my mind are long gone: 8-track tapes; CB radios; and good Pacino and De Niro movies. Still, it strikes me that one of the first things that pops into my head when I think of the lovely actress

This week’s Self Made Man is a journalist, of sorts. I can’t even call him a sports journalist in good conscience, because the industry he covers?professional wrestling?isn’t really a sport. But Dave Meltzer is absolutely an entrepreneur whose behind-the-scenes coverage of the notoriously secretive wrestling business was a game-changer not only for wrestling, but for

I’m taking a slightly different approach with Awesome Men Throughout History this week, because I know that the lifestyle of our subject?professional wrestler ?Nature Boy? Ric Flair?has taken a heavy toll on his physical and financial health. In fact, Grantland.com put up a feature article chronicling Flair’s lifetime of bad decisions, many of which are

Here’s one of the biggest conundrums of life: You have, without a doubt, a limited amount of time on this planet. At some point, you will be gone. At that point, what you’d like to happen as you lie on your deathbed, is to not have any regrets for wasting your time here. This is

I?ve definitely seen English comedies, and rank many of them among my favorites. I?ve seen French comedies, and I know the French like comedy to some degree because of their renowned fascination with Jerry Lewis. Spanish director Pedro Almodovar has made me laugh. Roberto Benigni makes me think there are some comedies in Italy, though

Ah, beer. Even if you don’t drink, you can’t deny its impact on American culture. Beer is a symbol of relaxation and fun, and the kind of beer you drink tells people something about your personality; microbrew drinkers are snooty yuppies, PBR drinkers are either hipsters or broke, Coors Light drinkers lost their taste buds
