CBS's Most Valuable Blogger, The Monkees, I'm a Believer, and a New Banner!


Like the new banner?  I sure do.  I might tweak it a bit in the next week, but I think it’s beautiful. I have to give a special thanks to my dear friend Sonia for creating it.  The unfurling of the new banner coincidentally coincides with a cause to celebrate, as this site has been selected by CBS to be a finalist in their Most Valuable New York Blog competition.  For me to win the big prize, you’ll have to vote for me by clicking these orange words.  Not too hard right?  Oh, and if you really want to see me win, you can vote for me once a day until the contest ends.  Do I believe I can win?  Of course, and that’s why I have everybody’s favorite manufactured rock band, the Monkees, singing this Neil Diamond classic, “I’m a Believer,” in support.  The song is a glorious slab of 60s pop rock, sung to perfection by drummer Micky Dolenz.  One fun fact about the song, it’s one of less than 30 singles that have ever sold more than 10 million copies.  Incredible.  And please, I can’t express enough my thanks for everybody who checks out the site, and has helped it grow since I launched it not too long ago.  It means the world to me, and I hope I never have to stop.  All the best, Willie.
