Blogarrhea: Autobahn, Bernie Mora, Fab Sotti, Ken Sharp, Paul Simon and Al Lerman All Rule!

It's been a year of Blogarrhea and the words still pour out of me fast. Labels are getting hip: my mailbox has been stuffed to overflowing with music from around the world: Israel, Germany, Austria, Japan, Brazil, Canada, England and the U.S. That's a lot of listening and my vow to hear everything in its entirety has yet to be rescinded. Obviously, one cannot write about it all but here's the best of the rest.

  • Paul Simon Will Not Have To Pay Man Who Ripped Him Off: Other Celeb Victims Include Uma Thurman, Natalie Portman, Martin Scorsese and Wesley Snipes

    It has been announced that Paul Simon will not have to pay lawyer and money manger Kenneth I. Starr, who victimized the singer in a $60 million Ponzi scheme.The singer dodged a $17,174.49 tab, plus interest and lawyer’s fees, after court papers indicated that charges were dropped against Simon.The whole thing started when Starr was arrested and indicted on 23 counts of fraud and money laundering in 2013 after signs that his dealings with celebrity clients may not have been legitimate. Starr was convicted and sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison but, just before the sentence was passed, he declared bankruptcy, making it impossible for him to pay back any of his clients.A trustee in charge of his finances uncovered some unpaid bill for services provided to Simon, giving his creditors a chance to recoup their stolen money. But Simon was one of the victims of Starr’s scheme, which included other A-list celebrities such as Uma Thurman, Natalie Portman, Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes and Martin Scorsese.

  • ‘Graceland’ Arrested Paul Simon and Edie Brickell; No Divorce, Claim Marriage Good in Court Before Family Outing [VIDEO]

    Paul Simon and his much younger middle-age wife Eddie Brickell were bound and headed for jail not Graceland last month after being arrested following an argument that appeared to turn violent. Police claim that both parties were acting "physically aggressive" that evening, but the musicians seemed the perfect pair when they appeared in court April 28. Their marriage isn't usually prone to such outrageous altercations, so Paul and Eddie have no plans to divorce in the future. They told the judge they posed no threat to each other, and had a family outing planned with their son for later that afternoon.
