Why You Haven't Seen Me In A While...

The source of three months of immense pleasure--and torment.

I've been immersed in reporting, researching, and writing my first piece for ESPN's Grantland, a look at Marvin Gaye's epic rendition of the national anthem at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game.

Now it's up, and I couldn't be prouder. You can read it here and if you don't tap your feet while listening to Gaye tear it up at the Forum, well, I don't wanna know you.

Will have more movie stuff up soon, folks.
