Your Host

Lex Kuhne: Detroit-ish, Michigan, United States; Based in suburban Detroit, I am an attorney running my own practice focusing on family law, business law, estate planning and entertainment law. I also have an extensive history in Detroit media, having been a founder of 89X, a long-time columnist for the Metro Times, and appearing on-air on a host of "The Lex Files" on the Michigan Talk Radio Network and a correspondent for "Backstage Pass" on Detroit Public Television, as well as various other radio stations.

"It's not a memo, it's a Mission Statement."

Welcome to my somewhat cranky, yet gregarious and optimistic, 60 Second Blog, featuring unique takes on anything and everything that I care about, which can be a lot. So, look for posts on Birmingham, Detroit, Michigan, the Great Lakes and beyond, politics, pop culture, music, sports, business and The Internets, and connecting the dots between them. Not just opinions, though, but the occasional modest proposal on how things could be better here, there and everywhere. The title? Well, the conceit is that each post will take less than 60 seconds of your precious time to read. I will occasionally go over that limit, so I will mark it as an "OT" post in the headline. For a bit more background on me, please check out a profile posted here. Thanks for visiting, and remember: when you kill time, you murder success. As always, cheers from The D.
