Hey, Kids - welcome to Uncle Kenny's blog page! We have candy. No, not butterscotch, like my late Aunt Rosie always offered (God, if I DO live till old age, don't let me beg everyone around me to eat butterscotch or coffee nips) - but CANDY in the form of great artist pictures, amazing live performances and interviews, bizarre life moments that we can laugh at together, and general weirdness...

More About Me...
Born in Brooklyn - what does that mean? It's the reason alien space ships land in cornfields in Iowa. If they ever landed on 86th St. in Bay Ridge, 25 guys named Tony would be leaning on the horns of their blood-red Cadillacs screaming: "Hey, Pal - you gonna move that thing, or what?! Don't MAKE me get out of this car!" That's why I loved growing-up in Brooklyn.

The best part of Manhattan? The art, the theatre - I still love writing and acting for the stage. A new Ken stage play coming soon!

Thank you for supporting "The 2007 Walk To D'Feet ALS..."
Over 50,000 people in Eisenhower park!


  
I even socialized with "the enemy!" (C'mon, Ranger fans, do you blame me?!)

This was all for people suffering from such a horrible disease - and in honor of loved ones who have passed on from it, like my friend, Jennifer Lopez (the original J-Lo!)

This year the Tri-State area has raised over a million dollars to fight this dreadful disease - and it's not too late to make a donation...click on the link below to help me and the ALS association of Greater New York... make Lou Gehrig's Disease history!

Why is it, every time I hear Bela Karoli - 

commentating on a gymnastic performance, all I HEAR in my head is
THIS guy...

"Simple, Natasha - Moose does running Flatbush flip, grabs handles on the horse, can't get off because of glue; squirrel flies down to help, bomb explodes, KILLS Moose & Squirrel, Fearless Leader comes, gives commendation!"
Here we go again: Gymnastics is NOT a sport!

I talked about this 4 years ago, and you guys ripped me a new one, saying I was insane,  but I know I'm right:

Gymnastics requires ridiculous levels of strength, skill, focus, balance, and grueling physical conditioning and practice...GOLF, on the other hand, requires practice: that's it. BUT -

GYMNASTICS, SYNCHNRONIZED SWIMMING, RIBBON-DANCING: these are EXHIBITIONS - NOT  SPORTS!

I'll say it again: ANYTHING THAT CAN'T BE TIMED, COUNTED, OR MEASURED IS AN EXHIBITION OF STRENGTH AND SKILL, BUT NOT A SPORT.

TO BE VALID, THE OUTCOME OF A CONTEST MUST BE QUANTIFIABLY MEASURED: the most points, the fastest time, the longest throw, etc.

How HIGH you jump is a sport; how ELEGANTLY you jump is a matter of opinion.

That is why, even though the two men above are fat, lumpy, drink too much beer and eat way too many devil dogs, they are actually playing a sport!!!
