Who The Hell Edits This Stuff

So I’m reading this post at CNN blogs about Dave Lieberman, the youngest host on the Food Network. Don’t get me wrong, I am most certainly not the grammar or spelling police.

What’s Missing In This Song?

Queen is one of the quintessential rock bands of the latter part of the twentieth century. News of the World is probably my favorite album and the one that introduced me to Freddie Mercury and the rest of the group. One of my favorite songs, and according to many the band’s Magnum Opus, is Bohemian…Read more

Fear and Loathing…

While reading about Hunter S. Thompson last night and doing a little research I ran across a web site promoting a book by Simone Corday entitled 9 1/2 Years Behind the Green Door. As part of the research for a book he was writing Hunter Thompson spent quite a bit of time at the O’Farrell…Read more

Dumping Grounds…
