"My Generation" Web Page Launches!

I'm pleased to announce the launch of our new "My Generation" web page at www.billboggs.com It highlights the TV show of the same name for which I'm celebrity correspondent. Now you can sample HD video excerpts from my celebrity interviews right on your computer screen.

We're currently featuring "Michael Feinstein at Steinway Hall" and "In the Studio with Artist LeRoy Neiman."

Of course I hope you can catch each show when it airs on TV, but now if you miss an episode you can always visit the web page and view highlights.

Forthcoming guests include Broadway composer Charles Strouse; Ex chef John Doherty (Waldorf Astoria); rock legend Carly Simon; furniture designer Dakota Jackson, and many, many more.

I think you'll find "My Generation" appeals to all generations.

Be sure and tune in!

Cousin Brucie!

Photo by Bobby Bank

I hosted the Friars Celebrity Interview series with the legendary Cousin Brucie—an hour, one-on-one interview about his career, with stories about Elvis, his introducing the Beatles at Shea stadium, and the evolution of rock music.

Here's a tidbit:

I asked him: "If you could place one year of rock music in a time capsule for future generations which year would you pick?"

"1965—it built on the foundation of American rock from the 50's and was open to include the English wave and the West Coast sound."


By the way, Dick Clark's answer to the same question was 1957.

Both were memorable years.
