    From David A.Wood:After listening to the deservedly renowned writer/celebrated New York City personality Fran Lebowitz, I have gratefully found out that I really love me some Fran Lebowitz! After having heard her at length for the first time on this very early Monday morning (April 22, 2024) which is amazingly enough given all the time that I have known of her existence, can enjoyably listen to hear her all the freaking, livelong day. Nuff Said and Peace Out from Kettering, Ohio.☮️🇺🇲😃👍

    "Nostalgia is almost always false." So true. Although I would add that more often it's 50-50; part truth, part falsity.

    We have too much of it. And we CAN'T really live in nostalgia. Times move along - or we're really in a LOT of trouble. Times are a'changing - THANK GOODNESS. But with Trump we're just going backwards - THAT is hurting the country immeasurably.

    Are differences in status in media today the 'economic divide' of the 70's? I know my question will be ignored, but I just have to wonder. We and the host are unknown, compared to Fran, but Lebowitz, in a sense, relives the way we used to ignore differences in income. In the 70's, we never talked about who has more money. We just found our tribe and got on with life.
