Canceled Shows

Dylan — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 19:09:19 +0000

Heard that about half of the Lillith Fair concerts have been canceled. I don’t know why those people were expecting sellouts at all their shows in this distressed economy. It was some really poor planning on the part of the concert organizers to even book some of those 3rd tier cities. Even more stupid to cancel all the low selling shows, when some of them could have easily been combined.

Check Out Cherry Holmes

Heard a bluegrass band the other day. I was surprised that I liked their music. I’m not normally a fan of bluegrass. But their style was less twangy and more modern in some way. If you have a chance to give them a listen, I’d recommend you grab it.

Speedy Recovery Billy Joe Shaver

Just happened across a casual mention about Billy Joe Shaver and checked it out by searching Google. Turns out Billy Joe had heart surgery recently and is in recovery from that. I don’t know why the local music rags didn’t pick up on that story – there’s a whole lot of people in this town who have recorded Billy Joe Shaver songs. You would think they would notice something major like that.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Billy Joe.

Looking for Ribs

Dylan — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 05:17:25 +0000

Friends have rolled into town and want to go around Music City. They insist on having barbecue ribs today. That’s not something that I usually order when I eat out. Not really sure if there are some hidden gems or do we stick to the obvious chains like Corky’s or Dave’s? Anyone have a suggestions on where to take these guys for good ribs?

Plans for the Fourth?

Well, we were going to go to Nashville Shores for the Fourth of July.

For the past 3 years that’s what we’ve done and they’ve put on a free fireworks show for everyone. It’s been a cool show because you sit on the sand or in your boat and watch the fireworks go out over the lake.

But I just found out that they aren’t doing it this year. Money problems, I guess.

Just wanted to say thank you to a wonderful lady friend who really helped me out. I had a deadline and a lot of drama. But Jillian helped me out and I owe her a big one. Thanks, my friend. You’ll never know how much that means to me – unless I start trying to tell you, like now. LOL

Chicken

Dylan — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 01:40:27 +0000

The best fried chicken around here is from the grocery store deli. I’ve given up on KFC – it does not taste good any more and it is too damn expensive. Plus there are no locations convenient to my house. So even buying it takes a lot of planning and effort. But at the Publix I tried their deli chicken and it tastes great, its not very expensive, and it’s very easy to get to a Publix any where around town.

Summer Reruns

Dylan — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 01:06:51 +0000

There is just nothing worth watching on TV these days. All the regular shows ended a long time ago and are doing reruns. To be honest, there were not all that many shows worth watching the first time. I sure don’t want to watch them a second time. I’m hoping some of the cable channels will launch a few summer season shows so I am not forced to watch reruns for the next 3 months.
