Nutter Shines As Snow Commander – Dee Adcock Makes His Republican Debut – More On Beatles Shows
Communication, they say, is the beginning of understanding. In that respect, Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter shined in his role as Commander of the snow-fighting troops of the region. His regular and “live” updates on radio and TV kept a sense of calm and order in a day that paralyzed the region. It was one of his finest hours. I’ve always been fascinated by the prowess of government leaders who value communication. Nutter seems to have found his groove.
A NEW REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE
In what some consider a surprise, Dee Adcock, a Montgo businessman , beat back the Republican party establishment to win the party’s endorsement to run against Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz. Adcock is low key in an Eisenhower kind of style. Although soft spoken, and definitely an underdog to the three termer Schwartz, watch for Adcock to run an aggressive race. Adcock, we are told, is determined to convince his party leadership that winning, often abandoned recently by the county GOP, is possible. Another certainty: Congresswoman Schwartz runs hard and tough. It will be a rugged battle
BEATLES SHOW
A little clarification on my Ticket To Ride shows every weekend in March at the Franklin Institute. The show is not an exhibit, but a “live” show, mixed with my intimate stories of life with the Beatles, some remarkable inside history, and memorable video, pictures and some recently-discovered audio. Remember that the 5 o’clock Saturday show is designed for families with younger children. The shows at eight p.m. Friday and Saturdays are for teenagers and adults. Hope to see you there.

really pathetic to see you clinging to the beatles still. please retire
Waiting for the 7:45 today but no longer waiting for Larry Kane to change his blog more frequently. A veritable whirling dervish has my head spinning. What goes up must come down
spinning wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it’s a crying sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin
In this case the painted pony must be the Beatles. Ride that pony Larry.
All you want to do is ride around Larry, ride, Larry, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Larry, ride, Larry, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Larry, ride, Larry, ride.
Ride that pony like you’ve riden SEPTA. Graffiti and chicken bones nonwithstanding.
Well I guess you can give credit to Mayor Nutter and his Snow Rangers. It is reassuring to know that the City of Philadelphia can do something right. Something. Can’t wait to see the bill. That’s when it will really be Snowmageddon! Do you think there will be a made for TV movie about the Mayor and his Snow Rangers. Who would play the Mayor? Forest Whitaker? Wilson Goode by Chris Rock? Can we get Philly’s Kim Delaney to play the Mayor’s imaginary mistress? It will be an annual favorite like ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’.
Did you find a directing sign
on the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colours that are real.
Impeachment in 2010! Before we get snowed any more by Barack’s B.S.

I forgot to mention that this was another shameless promo for the Ticket to Ride. But it is YOUR site Larry so you go girl.
Impeachment in 2010! Speaking of shameless self-promoters.

I suppose if Nutter didn’t calm the masses then we would have seen what? People rioting in in streets?
A giant snowball fight? An outbreak of snow angels?
Whether it’s a book, a special appearance or a show called “Ticket to Ride,” Larry always has a way of turning the Beatles into his Social Security check. This band hasn’t existed for 40 years. It has been scrutinized from every angle long before Larry got the idea. What’s left to say? To see? Larry’s “intimate” stories? Puh-leeze. Imagine that it’s 1970 and Larry is going to tell us about his amazing days touring with Charlie Chaplin. That’s what his Beatles exploitation is like.
I particularly like the “kids show” versus the later “adult show” idea. Isn’t Larry going to share sorted stories and lurid details about drugs, booze and orgies with the kids? Do they get the Strawberry Fields and Guitar Hero version while the adults get the Day Tripper and pass the joint version?
Chi McBride should play Snow Commander Nutter. Martin Lawrence should play Wilson Goode.
Universal Studios releases…
SNOWMAGEDDON
A story of personal struggle and triumph. Follow the lives and travails of three North Philadelphia families as the suffer through the worst winter in recorded history for the City of Brotherly Love. Just when all looks lost, Snow Commander Nutter (played by Human Target’s Chi McBride) rides into neighborhood on the back of a snow plow to save the day. Martin Lawrence plays the deceptive City Councilman Wilson Goode hell bent on preventing the Snow Rangers from plowing there way past 30th Street. Coming to theaters near you. See it on IMAX to best experience James Cameron’s new 3-D thriller.
I was wondering who gets credit for all those snow removal jobs created during the last two snow storms? Do we call them “white jobs”? Should Mayor Nutter get a copyright on the term “snow fighters”? Do we now call the guys who pick up our trash “trashfighters”.
I like the whirling dervish analogy. Larry’s head must be spinning as well.
Recommend Leslie David Baker (Stanley on The Office) to play Mayor Nutter and Terrence Howard to play Goode. Who is casting?
IM, you obviously have too much free time if you are wondering these things. I suggest Sudoku.
LA must be in the line at the Franklin Institute buying advanced tickets for Ticket to Ride. Apparently the line is stretched all the way back to Arch Street. Who would have guessed?
Ticket to Ride is apparently Mustang Sally meets Blood, Sweat and Tears. What happened to the Beatles, VPJ?
Fish, shouldn’t that be “When Larry Met Mustang Sally”?
“Yeah. But of course when I asked where she was when Kennedy was shot she said, “Ted Kennedy was shot?”
Mayor Nutter did a great job with storm.
He has hired excellent managers based on
skills and competance, its no accident.
Mayor Street hired based on skin color, and
those brothers and sisters he hired were
incompetant. Nutter imitates Bloomberg’s
Managment style, and it works very well.
A giant snow job if you ask me. No need to be PC.
The buzz surrounding Larry’s program at the Franklin Institute. There is lost audio for God’s sake. This is NOT an installation of photgraphs, its a real documentary film with music and a celebration of the pinacle of Larry’s life. I hope he is at every show to regale ticket holders with interpretation and new, heretofor untold recollections of his time with the Fab Four. Visit his Facebook page to learn more and friend it so he will feel more popular! HE is the God Damn Dean of News and the arbitor of all good things great and small.
My man never showed up to clear my driveway today so I took it upon myself to shovel out. WaWa was waiting so I dug out with all my heart. It wasn’t as if I was going to go to Planet Fitness for a work out. I just wanted to feel the freedom of movement again. Cooped up in the house for days on end has taken a toll on me. I no longer believe that Hurricane Swartz’s first name is really Hurricane. And as for John Bolaris why did we run this man out of town for a simple mistaken forecast? As for Cathy Gandolfo, what happened to her Jersey shore commentary? Me thinks WPVI is trying to run her out of town. I have had enough snow to last me a lifetime.
