The Headliner

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.

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).

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.)

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?

Chicken and turkey and such gang together to rock your table, giving legs to your Thanksgiving dinner, and cattle give thanks if they’re prodded. Well planned nachos also win the game on game-day, starting the prior day or out at night, but you have to look beyond the beef. But you can pare it with other (white) meats. —– But the night before the music shines a white light.
