We’re in luck to give thanks for lots of bands, whether led by ladies or lads

Tunes and turkey, (including the various types of hunting), and a new duo mark the highlights of this weekend’s activity:
— The Willow River Saloon in Burkhardt has been advertising as a group a trio of bands in the vicinity of Turkey Day, involving the eight days before and after the holiday, which also features there a meal with the oven roasted bird or carved ham and all the fixings. These groups include Lady Luck (Nov. 20 with their edgy Old School and new rock), Fiddlin’ John (Nov. 21 having instrumental with an edge) and The Farmer’s Daughters (Nov. 27 with an edge of female-led country excitement and enthusiasm).
— The duo of “Josh and Dave,” on guitar and vocals, have recently teamed up after playing with a variety of other bands and take their new act to Shooters Pub in River Falls on Saturday, Nov. 21. Josh most recently took the stage with the Jeff Loven One-Man-Band and laid it down with a bluesy, guitar-driven rendition of country rock. As in his days with The New Skinny, they will likely go deeper than the tried-and-true standards, as can be seen with Josh’s influences, which include The Blend, Young the Giant, Stereophonics, Lights Out Dancing, New Medicine, All the Right Moves, Anberlin, MGMT and the Naked and Famous, and several more mainstream bands.
— Just in time for hunting season is a beer of the month special, Low on Doe, otherwise known as Old Milwaukee Light, at Dick’s Bar and Grill. And it will only cost you, literally, a couple of “bucks” as long as you order before 10 p.m. That gives you plenty of time to stop in after hunting hours close.
— Halloween lives on (redux). The Jacko traveling pumpkin shandy is available as the November beer of the month at the Village Inn in North Hudson, and with each bottle you get a “mustache” in case you’re still in need of a costume. And The Village perhaps leads the way in its promotion on its marquee on the battle-for-first between Green Bay and Minnesota, by saying they will have on their 20-plus TV screens the 3:15 p.m. Sunday contest with the “ViQueens.” As much as that gets our kudos, we must say “boo” to the Big Guys BBQ Roadhouse online post about the game that some viewed as offensive to the Purple People.

  • Pristine Boundary waters may now be tainted but not your CBD. And the alleged villian is Chilean, not Mexican or Venezualian. And the village ‘repossessed’ your garbage can and made you buy an officially approved new one. Welcome to 4-20 and Earth Day, circa 2026. And Mary Jane is now declassified by Trump for purposes of ‘study.’ This is not the Obama or Biden administration.
Social media commentators at all levels and news media alike are — just in time for Earth Day — mining the latest Boundary Waters area news with headlines about the latest rollback of Obama and Biden era environmental protections to pristine water quality for what can, legally, be done with potentially destructive commerce in that region, passing the Minnesota legislature by the narrowest of margins. The reactions have ranged from who cares, to asking if our legislators do care, about the plan to mine metals, backed by a Chilean corporate giant, whose name sounds like a death metal band, and...

  • Curl when you can, but hey, now with ice (largely) out?? The Winter Olympics is Past, in case you were one to skip it. Both there is so much more to it then just releasing a stone. Which in case you hadn’t been watching does not always go purposely straight. As it can be wisked in a slightly different manner of bend. There is so much more to this sport, but I still have so many questions … This post is a newbie’s (mostly) first reaction.
So, the Winter Olympics is history, as is the Super Bowl in suspense, and March Madness mania is now mundane, so have you gotten enough of … curling as a sport? Don’t just go ho hum. Like my friend Tom sorta was/is. More on that midway. The summer Olympics aren’t coming around for a bit, to fill your taste for sports. But baseball is underway, so there is more than one four-person, four-bagger with four hot dog-one beer, sobriety limits, even for the Brew Crew. (See below). — That aside, the long winter is over, the whole Boundary Waters Area returns to...

  • Black Sabbath: With God and Satan at my side. and Trump in the middle, leaning largely left toward Lucifer. Could Trump Ever truly be Jesus? Or even Pope Leo? As there appears to be one of those deadly sins, envy. First, Trump would last on the cross about as long as an alleged joe biden thought. To last even seconds longer, he’d have to master omnipotence, like he thinks his army’s have. Track record: Look at his omniscience!
Trump vs. Pope Leo? I’ll take God. And even most atheists would agree with the first part. The battle against Trump becomes more universal. Trump as Jesus? This is an even easier call. I’ll take The Christ not The Donald. But wait, Trump said, or at least pictured, I am He? While facing foes he did not fight with while in The Garden, not Madison Square, and not while entertaining lavishly at a gala at Mar-A-Lago. Trump could take a lesson. Or he could read The Good Book more. (But he does seem to know what a Sacred Heart is, or at least how to...

  • I filter through the fluoridation fixation. This fickle topic was put to rest locally, debunking myths and defying trump and deflating his agenda, with a recent mandate-making, landslide referendum election result. Think of the theoretical ramifications of neighbor vs. neighbor. Tainted water makes tainted love. But this is not our first go-round with this …
Water, water everywhere, and no fluoride to drink … water, water nowhere, better flood the sink. But hold your horses if not your hose and hold on a minute, they voted it down. At least here in New Richmond last Tuesday. So in the week since, we feel the fallout of Trump and his ilk such as RFK Jr. now falling down in failure. There still is lifegiving, if not lifesaving, fluoride to be found in the fluid that spouts from the municipal water system. The mandate-worthy referendum result was to keep teeth-building fluoride in the city supply, by a...

  • Size AA, AAA or DD? All here in Hudson. They are batteries plus and more, buttercup! Or more specifically a (Naturally) Naked Root plant and planter sale, as Hudson Blooms, that could also conjure up other crazy corrolations.
I don’t know what this is, exactly, but I know I want a part of it. There is a Naked Root plant sale at Farrill’s Sunrise Nursery and Garden Center that’s located east of, as in rural, Hudson, away from semi-urban congestion, on two days on each of the next two weekends, including this one according to their sign, rounding out April with extended sale days. That could, it seems to me, correspond with the release — as a knockoff — of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Think just a bit of Knock Weed, or knotweed, barely covering a beauty from...

  • A sideways glance? Easter not only prevailed but lingered, and there have been since Sunday many other signs of spring.
As Easter began to close down, like a defender in March Madness for Michigan kicking U-Conn, the signs still could be seen heading out on the highway, like Jesus in and around Emmaus of old. The man-of-right-age as a driver wore a T-shirt on Monday, the next day, that I think was for a metal band, and could have been either a stick figure with slim limbs and thick torso ready for a spear to come and sitting in a chair, or Christ on the cross bent over a bit sideways, like he’d been forced to haul that awful tree too...
