A South Dakota Moderate

If you’ve watched any TV the past few months, you have undoubtedly seen the commercials prodding the last few remaining Americans that don’t have cable or satellite TV that they will need to get a digital converter box prior to the changeover to all digital broadcasts in February of 2009. Our government leaders are even [...]

To be honest, with my readership numbers bully pulpit might be the wrong term, but a recent announcement has again got me going against my local cable company. Earlier this winter I wrote a rant over the NFL Network being the exclusive carrier of several NFL games including the season ending game between the Patriots [...]

Sexy voiced beauty from the big and little screen Suzanne Pleshette has passed away at age 70. While she appeared in several big screen classics such as Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, I will always remember her best from he days on one of my favorite shows growing up, “The Bob Newhart Show”. Later she was part [...]

On the road a lot this week but just got a shipment from Amazon that contained a CD that I had been looking to locate for quite a while. In my high school days I fancied myself a trumpet player and at the time a version of “Hey Jude” from Maynard Ferguson was just about [...]

Ok, maybe I am showing my age here but when I heard that the Wachowski brothers, you know the guys that brought us the Matrix movies, were going to bring a cartoon from my youth to the big screen, it peaked my interest. Speed Racer was one of the few early anime productions from Japan [...]

Even though the group could be technically considered a one hit wonder with 1983’s “Cum on Feel the Noize”, they are often credited along with Van Halen with making hair metal cool after their Metal [...]

One of my favorite TV shows is still a few month’s away from it’s season premiere but for those looking forward to Season 7 of 24, here is a trailer.

I do have an issue with one thing I see, it appears Tony Almeida has miraculously returned from the dead ala Bobby’s return on Dallas only [...]

Not an Elton John fan? Not willing to pay $87 for a ticket? Apparently when negotiations between Elton John and Rapid City broke down because of date conflicts, Elton John moved on to Sioux Falls and Ozzy and Rob Zombie moved in. Also surprisingly, unlike what has been reported, Sioux Falls wasn’t Elton John’s first [...]

Coming from Cleveland where just about every big act on tour makes a stop, it took me awhile to get used to having to make the trek to Minneapolis or Omaha for most concerts so the announcement this morning that Elton John is coming to town was good news. Am I an Elton John fan? [...]

Posting will more than likely be light for a few days while I head West River for work (man it’s a pain getting a hotel room in Rapid City in late July) so I figured I would drop a few tidbits.
Just heard on KELO news that fellow Clevelander and Mott The Hoople/Ian Hunter fan [...]

If you are looking for a break from all the heavy reading regarding world events and politics I came across a really cool site called RetroJunk that would be of interest to those of you like me that grew up in the 60’s/70’s/80’s.
