      RIP The Combover

      Nov 15, 2023

      There's no sugarcoating the awfulness of going bald, especially when you're young. I lost my hair – first slowly, then all at once – when I was in my late twenties. I had it worse than most, but better than some. I've had decades to get used to seein

      23 MARTY McFLY

      Jul 5, 2020

      Congratulations on Marty McFly making the list, Michael. It’s funny — I never thought of Marty in terms of being heroic. He’s more Robin than Batman. But it’s a real treat. It was a huge gift I was given in my career. Famously, you replaced Eric St

      Summer In Ridley - Simon John Cox

      It was Chick Burnham who came up with the idea. He was always coming up with ideas. Sure, most of them were a heap of shit – like the time he convinced us to catch a conger eel to sell to the Cranson District Aquariarama, which of course was how my buddy Gumball ended up losing four hundred bucks and one of his fingers – but he figured for every twenty bad ideas he had there'd be one solid-gold one stuck there in the crap with them, so he kept on tossing them out.
