THE CURRENT HEADLINER

The Minnesota Nine was up 16-0, and this is not football with a couple of two-point conversions after TD, before the other squad came up with the equivilant of a safety. Other zeroes also, recently, were put up. It’s all listed under the latest sports bar viewing news.

The Opening Act

The (World) Cup runneth over on the global stage, but not for the U.S. Soccer team, only others that advanced, and were heavily watched, even locally very far from a continent that mattered. now it does that for you, so spill the wine and light the firecrackers. And ask your knowledgable bartender or other bro about that ankle twist.

I wonder if they celebrated in Belgium like they did in the U.S., in advance, partying in the streets with […]

When it comes to uncanny resemblance onstage that’s anything but canned, this weekend is what you want, and you also might wish to note the word play in their names, but not quite the same as in this post and my reference to Coldplay. They have done private events, but as is often said if you have to ask how much, you can’t afford them. Better to go to what follows and miss the cover. So Carry On and not Underwood (sorry).

The more things change the more they are the same, such as when band members and their names sound like […]

Thirty days hath October, plus one, and other months, so you can still dig into getting treats ready for the whole shebang before there is the deadline of being past trick-or-treating, BOC style. Never too soon for All Hallows.

The host of a radio music program said the song Don’t Fear The Reaper will be played to death, sorry, […]
