Last Friday, my 22 year old daughter and I were so happy to see Blondie, one of our favorite groups, at the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona. It was worth the three-hour drive out with traffic to see lead singer Deborah Harry, the amazing, inspiring 71-year-old legend rock out! She energetically covered all her hits, and never missed a beat. Her rapport with the audience was awesome! I have always loved the beauty, immediacy, high spirits, and positive energy of her music.

On another matter, Julie Nimoy, a friend of mine from middle school and her brother Adam, pay wonderful tribute to their talented, incredible actor father in their film For the Love of Spock. This documentary, directed and produced by Adam Nimoy, Julie appears in the film, is now available on demand and in theaters. For all the information visit the film’s website fortheloveofspock.com.
Julie Nimoy is also the producer, along with her husband David Knight of the documentary COPD – Highly Illogical – A Special Tribute to Leonard Nimoy. This documentary focuses on the deadly disease COPD, shedding important light on this little known but potentially deadly disease. Leonard Nimoy suffered from COPD for the last few years of his life, and Julie and her husband David are eager to shed light on this disease to educate folks and save lives.
