THE CURRENT HEADLINER
- Music mogul muses, much more.
On Our No. 250, can we at least unite on a ditty? And hush more about the speech at Rushmore. While Congress carries on with their own, has it become a telethon? We’d much rather broadcast The Eras, as Swift and her sweetie unite by tying the knot, with Sheeran and Sandler and Stevie.
On this holiday weekend, I want to note that with an exception or two, our Union has never been universal, […]

The Opening Act
- Music mogul muses, much more.
I’ll be (relatively) brief and punchy with this headline notation, as we transition to giving you more and sometimes shorter choices. And you may notice some of that as you beckon forward. It’s circular. Like a flush. Be careful what you mix, heads vs. text, drinks vs. food, and all kinds of potions — that may go bump in the night. —– Punchy, potentially, but I digress or progress with a new patriotic addition. And a second edition, an old Obsession, as in a concert.
My mom has told me not to be a potty mouth when I write, as she certainly would not appreciate hardly […]

This coulda been Vanna White’s next Big gig In The Sky, if the scaffolding was not so high. So this is how the project went, by the letters and numbers, of get Trump’s name erased from the Kennedy Center. The $250 bill might be tougher. Sad but true. So, What are there more of going on right now, wars or Trump pet construction projects?
So the wall is down. Of letters, that is. Not down by Mexico. Cemented into the concrete. Of the Kennedy […]

Stressed out as a caregiver? She’s back at yah. This is a rare case of a husband and wife being joint caregivers — for each other — aided and abbetted by the fact that they have a lot of the same disabling conditions. So she shovels snow using a walker/scooter, while he cooks gingerly using a microwave and offers her a plate when she sits down, in an easy chair, in a reversal and new take on traditional roles. Whatever it takes. Necessity is the mother of invention. —– In a new add, Towns and the champion Knicks got kicked around but still got their kicks in the long run … As do Norwegian dancers.
A few years back, I wrote an article about Hudson Deacon Tom Kroll and how he did so many extra […]
...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, […]
