My Take On The Passing of Karl Malden
I know you’ve heard it all. It’s the only thing on TV this week and it will probably continue to be the lead story for another 50 weeks. I’ve been meaning to put down my thoughts on this event since I first heard the news of Malden’s death on Monday afternoon. To read my take, […]
