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

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

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.

If you are like me, there is sentimental value in serving up a great big bird at Thanksgiving, and there’s

Here Friday(s) come again, and here I go. For the next three you can find everything under the sun and even the moon since as we ramp forward, battle bros, Bailey’s, bands, brews, bucks, all show bounty that just gets to be more for keep-it-going, go-getters. (And if you can trick Joe so far after trick or treat, try your trivia hand at Where Did You See It?)
