My Top 500?
Michele, of ASV, is putting together a list of her Top 500 Songs. Check in once in a while to see how she’s doing. But since I’m a shameless idea-stealer and think the idea is neat, I’m considering putting together my own list of 500. What do you all think? Care to read what songs [...]
Shepard’s Killing: Is The Legend False?
The 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming was the catalyst for the plethora of modern-day Hate crimes that now exist around the country.

Et Tu, Huey?
Huey Lewis and the News has been, since the 1980s, one of my very favorite bands. I own every album they ever made (either in cassette or CD form) and I think they’re one of the best bar bands that’s come along. So this hurts me an awful lot. Huey has asked HLN Today (http://www.hln.org) [...]
Al Franken Gets a TV Show
Well, it’s not much of a tv show – an hour-long condensed version of his three-hour radio show each day. And it’s on cable. Well, the Sundance Channel anyhow. But both Sundance and Air America are optimistic. Distribution through Sundance will mean welcome added exposure for the show, and Air America overall, said Doug Kreeger, [...]
