Britney Spears: Fedbeat Mom!

First of all, how bad of a mother does a person have to be, before a judge finds a shiftless, drug-dealing club-shlub like Kfed a more suitable parent for two small toddlers? Did she dangle the babies over the balcony and we didn't hear about it? Did she feed them Friskees and tie them to the bars o... [More]

Vegoose 2007 Will the 3rd Time Be the Charm?

Vegoose is back for another weekend of rock n' roll madness. The two day festival takes place every October in Sin City, and it's thrown by the same promoters who put Bonnaroo together. Vegoose is still relatively young (as the title suggests it's only on its third year), but it's every bit as fun a... [More]

God bless Halloween. While Christmas remains the most popular of the major holidays, there's just something a little extra fun about Halloween. For children, it's easy to see where the love comes from. GOBS OF FREE CANDY! But there's something there for the older crowd as well. Is it the freedom o... [More]

O.J. Simpson: All Pro Running Backward

O.J. Simpson: All Pro Running Backward

Most criminals start off in the shallow end of the pool. Maybe a little shoplifting when they're kids, then on to petty larceny – maybe breaking into a car and stealing stereo components. At which point they either make crime a serious career choice get some guns and take a shot at the big time, or... [More]

Old Songwriters Never Lose Their Willie - They Keep it in Their Peter Case

As I set about writing a review for Plimsoul-turned folk troubadour Peter Case's latest, my mind rushed back over two decades to a time when a young Boneman was something of a wanderlust-struck Bohemian himself. Peter Case is almost more of a concept than a person for me. Since turning his back on R... [More]

If you haven't heard Christ has returned, or is he the antichrist – he goes by both but his surprisingly sizeable following refer to him affectionately as Daddy. Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda is quite the interesting fellow. Born amid the squalor of poverty in Puerto Rico, Jose claims to have also been... [More]

A Blast From The Past

A Blast From The Past

Though many of you are unlikely to remember, I was at one time a semi-regular player on this team. Though it's been some time since I've smacked the mud out of my cleats. I noticed that Adam's been sidelined as of late (computer probs as it turns out.) so I figured this might be an opportune time to... [More]
