Thursdays Are from Mars: We'll Miss You, Sherman Hemsley
Men! What are they thinking? We can't always answer that, but we'll be posting our favorite glimpses into their world in this space every Thursday.
* I don't slam doors in people's faces and I'm not a bigot. I'm just an old hippie. You know, peace and love."—Sherman Hemsley, who played George Jefferson and passed away earlier this week. (L.A. Times)
* A pair of cargo pants inspired Steve Carell's aha! moment—and his aha! moment is sure to inspire you to laugh out loud. (O Magazine)
* Ever wonder what it's like to sing the national anthem at a sporting event? Drew Magary tells the terrifying story of his own (successful) attempt. (Deadspin)
* At 62, Bruce Springsteen continues to be one of the world's best entertainers. Here's part of why he does it: "For an adult, the world is constantly trying to clamp down on itself. Routine, responsiblity, decay of institutions, corruption: this is all the world closing in. Music, when it's really great, pries that sh*t back open and lets people back in, it lets light in, and air in, and energy in, and sends people home with that and sends me back to the hotel with it." For the rest, read David Remnick's outstanding profile of the singer. (The New Yorker)
