About me

Introduction I started the music blog to let people know about all the good music that is out there. I only review CDs that I like. (This is partly selfish, as I don't want to listen to music I dislike.) Good Things About Bad Movies is about finding something good even in the worst films. I created an index, with a list of all of my blog entries, including Shakespeare entries and music reviews, arranged alphabetically by subject. Here is the link: http://michaeldohertyindex.blogspot.com/
Interests I love going to see bands perform. I am interested in many types of music, and i hosted a folk and acoustic radio program in the mid-nineties. I'm also something of a film buff. I have quite a few DVDs, and i love going to the New Beverly to watch older films. I am a big Red Sox fan.
