You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Trick or treaters. How hard is it to say Trick or Treat? How hard is it to ring a doorbell? Do I live in a neighborhood driving the short bus? I have kids who bang on the glass door. They are like thirsty pirates slinging fifths […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. Switching health care plans. Today I sat through an excruciating 75 minute fingernail pulling torture session. It’s called corporate mandated health care management. A woman from Anthem Insurance stood before us and with laughter in her voice, showered us with the benefits of the new benefits. […]
You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. New Millennium Cattle rustling. It’s a crime as old as time, as bold as a Clint Eastwood sneer. Cattle Rustling is making a come back because cows are worth their weight in gold. In the old days, beef cows were McDonald’s. Today, it’s Ruth Chris. Why? Because […]
You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Comedy Clubs. It’s performance art that is like no other. There is no set, no lighting, no special effects. It’s one man on a stage using his brain, his words his body language, his life insights to make us think, to make us laugh. I went to Zanies […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ A 30 second video. I shot the imagery on the interstate. “Watch out,” I say to my photog as I see cars locking their brakes and skidding to a stop on Briley Parkway. I can see fire engines, ambulances, and police cars up ahead. I pull out […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Running over a puppy. “Remember that column in the paper called Desperately Seeking the News?” a coworker asks me out of the blue. That brought back memories. The column was a peek behind the curtain in Nashville’s journalism community. If someone was suspended at a tv […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Fat Ass America. America is a societal Big Mac away from a collective heart attack. We eat too much, we eat all the time, we eat all the wrong stuff. If it’s smaller than a cantaloupe Americans will try to put it in their mouths. It doesn’t even have to […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Fantasy Football. It’s week 7 and I have one lousy win. One lousy win. I was last year’s champ. I was a fantasy pistellero with the cool of an autumn tombstone. I rarely left points on my bench. I knew when questionable meant probable and probable […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Sir Paul McCartney. Rumors of his demise are greatly exaggerated as he walks across the stage to thunderous applause inside the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. I’m in the top row. My eyes are old, and I have to squint to create focus. It’s at this very […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s Crazy™ Paul McCartney. Rumors of his death are premature to be sure. The 72-year-old was supposed to play Nashville in June. But then there’s news that he is sick and the concert is quickly postponed. Sick? Sick with what? The flu? Heart trouble? Nobody is saying. It’s […]
