I can’t believe that people are still interested in the “He said…she said” saga between Donavon McNabb and reporter Pam Oliver. Go read about the genocide in Darfur, learn the history of Led Zeppelin or read a compelling essay about Time’s Person of the Year, Vladimir Putin. Please, get over it and hope that McNabb is back for one more run next year (one man’s opinion).

Mike Ness and Social Distortion. Classic punk. Saw ‘em last year at House of Blues in A.C. Great show but a bizarre scene. A bunch of 40-45 year olds in the mosh pit thinking it was 1985.
