American Horror Story gives us another lackluster Fall Finale for the week.

All in all, this felt like an OK but unremarkable coda to a frustrating season.

SCANDAL-OUS SPOILERS AHEAD… If you’ve found yourself wearing a lot of white hats, or drinking wine from giant glasses while eating popcorn, or shouting into your cell phone “it’s handle,” you might be addicted to ABC’s Scandal.

This might help cure your case of Belew balls.

John Cale, Steve Reich, Colin Stetson, and Julia Holter round out the eclectic line-up.

With “I Was There When…,” veteran music journalist Doug Collette reflects on his experiences in the glory days of live rock music. With each column, he takes us back to a specific concert he attended way back when, spotlighting bands like The Who, Pink Floyd, and The Allman Brothers Band, among many others. Whether you […]
