Why I rarely go to concerts any longer … Jane’s Addiction, Dinosaur Jr. and Living Colour at “Harborlights” now some bank sponsored pavilion … $187 to $641 per ticket. I mean, I know musicians aren’t making as much money on CDs and downloads as they were before … but this is absolutely ridiculous. Thankfully, I’ve … Read more
As I’ve been saying for years that we still don’t know everything about the Sept. 11 attacks and until we do, the nation, as a whole, can’t really move on.

Despite what anyone may think, this presidential election is no different … Read more
I was glad to finally see some serious questions and fewer of the gotcha questions, something that the Democrats have gotten from moderators for months and yet it often appears as if the moderators want the GOP side to be a circus (and know it will turn into one, too). It’s made for a spectacle … Read more
