THE CURRENT HEADLINER
- Music mogul muses, much more.
‘Urban Table’ reopens after five months, minus the olive and vine name, but keeping the same old ambiance. It adds a coffee and wine bar, $3 premium drinks prepared under the eye of a barista and the advanced eatery knowledge that comes from the new owner, Ben Jung, a face you’ll recognize from nearby Hudco To Go, who says music is on the way, too, back to this staple Hudson venue.
They’ve added a coffee bar, so you can have a foray of seating for four on stools in front of […]

The Opening Act
- Music mogul muses, much more.
What will Bruce, the top dogg, and Maiden mew about concerning the world when they make a stop in Shakopee? Plenty of tramau to pick from, even if they do not get irate about Iran, or emulate. But closer to home, others of my ilk have been to Italy and more lately, or just out in the garden tending to flowers and kitties.
So many problems in our world, US and UK. How and when to bitch? Waiting for them to be named by a […]

Deaths and memorials. They do not stop with that given by Miley Cyrus for Dolly Parton. In what follows, I recount the recent musical remembrances of a local musician, as his father lay passing, and that by me in song for my own dad. And the resemblances therein. And a dream reflecting it all. (And newly added, we’ll Curry favor and Frank, and more on Dolly and the God she is close to.)
Just over two years ago, I sang solo an Iron Maiden song, Blood Brothers, slowly strummed via my cell phone […]
...Picks of the Week
We rue the day the Irish menus were squelched, but some forge on despite closures of such restaurants and pubs, thus McCabe’s in NR still remains unique among affordable themed venues of this type in the eastern suburbs. (Note, some content is dated.)
The restaurants in the Twin Cities have largely opened up again, but the pub end from the isle as far […]
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, […]
