Youth (isn't always) wasted on the young
I'll bet George Bernard Shaw had just gotten home after partying with a bunch of 50-something friends complaining of neck, knee and back issues when he penned his now classic quote, "Youth is wasted on the young." I’ll bet he was also suffering from a host of aches and pains himself when he l...
I look forward to patronizing this establishment after 8:02 p.m., when Passover ends. I hope that Ed will join me.

This can't be good news for the Barcalounger
Doctors and fitness experts have long espoused the benefits of an active lifestyle. But, as the statistics bear out, Americans have not only turned a deaf ear to the warnings, the number of obese, sedentary slugs has only grown. Now comes a new study that shows more than 90,000 new cancer case...

Remember Me and You (Part II)
It was 16 years ago yesterday that I washed up at the front door of Ed Moed's squalid, one bedroom apartment and we began building what was to become one of the nation's top independent strategic communications firms. To mark what is a very, very Sweet 16th anniversary, I thought I'd create a...
I think the heat is getting to you, Rep.

The Lindsay Lohan of PR
I'll bet that headline stopped you in your tracks. That was my intent. There is no Lindsay Lohan of PR. Actually, there probably is, but let's not go there. Instead, let's focus on what makes for a great headline. I think it's fertile ground for a PR and marketing-focused blog because, frank...

Golden Years
I'm 57 today. That's old. It sounds old and it looks old. As a matter of fact, 57 only looks good on the label of a Heinz's ketchup bottle. Turning 57 is an actuarial wake-up call. There's no denying that, statistically speaking, I'm much closer to the end than the beginning. But, to add insu...
Great post, Rep. It's tough to narrow it down to five, but here goes:
Ludwig van Beethoven. The Fifth Symphony opened my ears to classical music. The Ninth rocked (and still rocks) my world. The sonatas, the string quartets, Fidelio -- the list goes on and on. And, apparently, Ludwig van was quite the improviser in his day!
The Beatles. Don't ask me to choose a favorite song or album. Each has its own resonance.
Bob Dylan. The volume and quality of his output ("oeuvre" if you went to the Tisch School of the Arts) is, truly, staggering. Every song is a masterpiece. Well, okay, maybe not "Joey."
Johann Sebastian Bach. Though Ludwig van is my favorite, I know enough to realize that it really all began with J.S. He was the template for everything that followed.
Tom Petty. How can a bar band from Gainesville, Fla. have so much impact? Amazing. "Refugee" gets me every time.
Honorable mentions, in no particular order: Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Muddy Waters, James Brown and Mickey Katz.

The five most influential composers/ musicians in Repman’s life
Since last week's blog about the five most influential TV shows in my life prompted such an avalanche of comments (insert link), I thought I'd follow-up with the five most influential composers/musicians in my life. Here, in chronological order, is my list: 1.) Luigi Boccherini, Italian cla...
