Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
This week, Jon Gabriel captains the good ship Ricochet in place of James Lileks and podcast amigo Andrew Klavan is in the Long Chair® this week. Our guests are Charles C.W. Cooke, the foremost authority on firearms (also roller coasters, but that’s for another show). Then, TV’s and noted Trump supporter Rob Long stops by to plug his new book Bigly: Donald Trump in Verse. Also, Andrew talks about his new podcast/novelization Another Kingdom, and a fond farewell to Tom Petty. Later, dude.
Music from this week’s episode: Alright For Now by Tom Petty

Really? It’s on Full Moon Fever.
I thought everyone had that album…like Rumours, or Frampton Comes Alive.
Kids these days. Probably doesn’t have a single album of Sinatra, Benny Goodman, or Perry Como.
I don’t have any Perry Como. I have several Benny Goodman compilations, and the full 1938 Carnegie Hall recording [true story – I once caused a computer monitor to fail after drumming along on my desk to “Sing, Sing, Sing”.]
I also have the Frank Sinatra Reprise Years box set.
Lots of Glenn Miller too.
Sounds like a good story.
Not really. This was in the days of tube monitors. I was banging along with my hands on the desk, pretty hard, the monitor crackled and failed. Guessing I knocked a connection loose or something.
Now, about my theory that Sing, Sing, Sing is really the first Rock song…
Sounds like that should be a full conversation of its own.
Mel “The Velvet Fog” Torme is the thinking man’s Perry Como.
Well done, gentlemen.
Thanks for the Tom Petty remembrance.
