PAST TOURS, UNPLUGGED

This Walker now-politico did not walk away a winner, as it finally has been decided, I think, and so now in 2023, it seems we are finally through with the politics as usual, as it played out all through 2022. So all we have of Hershel at the moment are ex-Viking running back reruns at the sports bar. For governor, we have Evers, but will another Walker (not Scott) walk this way?

Now that The Number of The Six is past, as in not another Jan. 6 White House revolt, and the […]

PAST TOURS, UNPLUGGED

Nothing with wheels was moving or grooving, to get home for the holidays. Two weather-cancelled bus trips, one just as it should be leaving out of the gate, and even a stolen piece of “luggage,” although the bag might be too small to make such a claim. What got me through, though, was my music, as it’s still rock ‘n’ roll to me!

My travel plans, or not, were an experience right before Christmas along the (bus) lines of the classic holiday movie

PAST TOURS, UNPLUGGED

Stuck not in traffic, but in my apartment, as I come from the land of ice and snow and wind and its cancellations, so I go out beyond the arenas and make it a Merry metal Christmas manifested multiple times. Check out your Bible and its Gospels. As I did through churches. A trio of them, like the Trinity. And also three events to hit on a New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, (see the Picks of the Week department).

And I’m the one who finds sermons difficult to sit through. Prefer heavy metal versions. But I knew I’d find

If you still need, the gift ideas keep getting crazier, even moreso then the wintery weather, says this writer on these wonders Joe Winter. Sum it up in two words, going gonzo. Ideas before the Ides arrive, in March. And keep everyone cozy and warm at the same time, including assorted animals. If only the Wise Men, pre-mega-mall, knew this at the Bethlehem Nativity — but they did well with three other gifts.

The weather may, for those weary of it, actually make for a few last-minute gift opportunities. So have a Merry

Hunger is not relative. Everyone needs food, beyond just Christmas cookies, and prior to the holiday things got even more stringent. But like so many things, part of the problem is distribution. And other pitfalls. A primer on how you can help, even while on the road — like done by the Three Wise Men who traveled far — and maybe even do double-trouble at a grill and bar in the Northwoods. (Or elsewhere this weekend).

It seems to me that in most cities of any size in my home state of, collectively, Minnesconsin, the means

Concert-wise, gunning for almost 55 to show, the ultimate fan of Gary Allan has seen the how-many-shows-now notches on her proverbial backstage bedpost — a metaphor so get your mind out of the gutter — tally up through a lot of birthdays, mainly his and hers, but also mine and my family’s. Four No. 1 singles? (And for another new tack of an event? Read the pullout below.)

When you chalk up seeing 53 concerts — sorry it just turned 54 — you can write the book on

PAST TOURS, UNPLUGGED

Be wary of whom you give to. There are billions of eyes of cameras watching — and including those ears on the fly as I cite tonight in Uncategorized — and in the traditional media (remember them?) not just social media. And somebody might even write a song about it. Than we must decide — all of us? — which clubs will play it. So Stan the Man with the Plan got Panned. Was it planned?

What Oath do you have? Or plan to Keep? Some Wisconsinites who hold political offices big and small — including
