Re: “Turns Out the Music City Center Will Not Create Jobs for Goats”
Maybe goats were part of the promised 30,000 new convention industry jobs?
Re: “Justice or Vandalism? You Make the Call”
You don't respond to an asshole by being a bigger asshole. That's the kind of escalation that starts fights and gets people hurt.
Re: “Amid Concerns About Heavily Processed Wheat and Gluten, Twin Forks Farm Bread is Worth a Try”
Picked up a loaf of Heritage Sunflower last night at The Turnip Truck. Really good. The outside is a delightfully crunchy layer of seeds, the inside is soft -- dare I say, comfort food.
Re: “The Breeders w/Deerhunter at Cannery Ballroom, 5/14/13”
It's not really curmudgeony to point out when the sound at a concert is lousy. It's kind of important, IMHO, and Cannery continues to be an audio debacle.
Re: “Turns Out the Music City Center Will Not Create Jobs for Goats”
And goats need jobs. Unemployed gangs of goats dressed in their goat gang colors and roaming the countryside install fear in our children and damage our puppy's self esteem. Employ the goats!
Re: “Justice or Vandalism? You Make the Call”
This one's my favorite: In a civilized world, I would have received a commendation of some sort. To the theater-going public of New York — nay, the the world – I say: “You’re welcome.”
Because nothing screams "CIVILITY" like taking a stranger's phone and flinging it at a crowd of other strangers.
Re: “Ron Ramsey, I Am Begging You — Please Debate Pro Wrestler Kane!”
Mr. Ramsey would destroy this buffoon in a debate! All you East Nashville hipster doofuses who get 100% of your news from Pith would not know this, but Mr. Ramsey has never lost a debate since he's been on capital hill! Not a one! He does to the Dimocraps what Brother Xray does to you people! He eviscerates them and makes them call out for their mommies!
Re: “If you sense getting married is a bad idea, don't forever hold your peace — speak now”
reader, shame on you for judging before finishing the article. i'm sure you've never made a mistake that hurt anyone else. bully for you.
Re: “Ron Ramsey, I Am Begging You — Please Debate Pro Wrestler Kane!”
I'd be in favor of this if all we were paying was a VAT. But since that is not the case, then I'm not in favor of more taxes.
Re: “Justice or Vandalism? You Make the Call”
How does one tar and feather someone figuratively? Do you call them nasty names? I bet that'd do it.
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
Zoom: "And, BTW, Adam Lanza did NOT obtain his guns legally. He STOLE them."
Nah: Lanza had his mother's permission to handle her guns; he just didn't have her permission to kill her.
Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘A Picture From Life’s Other Side’”
How ironic that "Vandy radio" gets resurrected as a fictional station?! I was just glad they didn't call it WRVU. That would've been too painful.
Love these re-caps! I read the AV Club and Rolling Stone ones too and this is my fave (sorry Adam)
Re: “Justice or Vandalism? You Make the Call”
Too bad she wasn't carrying.
Re: “Remembering Don Evans, artist, professor and creative catalyst, for whom the big bang was not a theory”
Wonderful tribute to a wonderful man.
Re: “We Might Be Rednecks, Natalie Grigson Might Be a Dumbass”
Perhaps noitall, but in typical Texas style, there was a taint of superiority in the tone as I perceived! That being said, Betsy was IMHO pretty much spot on in her analysis! Of course, to SOME negative nabobs, NOTHING she could do would suffice.
Re: “We Might Be Rednecks, Natalie Grigson Might Be a Dumbass”
As a native Tennessean who lives about 80 miles from Nashville, I think the entire point is moot. During my brief residence in Nashville, it came to my attention that being a "native" was an anomaly. No one, it appeared, was "from" Nashville. They all moved here from elsewhere. ;) (And no-- there is no reason to give this list much attention. Nor the author. Both are invalid.)
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
NeverFear: That would fly in face of the "more kids + more food-stamps and ADC money fiction that is perpetrated by the holier than thou crowd!
Re: “Kermit Gosnell Doesn't Prove Your Abortion Point. Yours Either.”
And yet, here I am, schooling you...
This is fun! Please, keep on.
Re: “If you sense getting married is a bad idea, don't forever hold your peace — speak now”
Couldn't even finish reading this article. Shame on the author for hurting others by not listening to her own heart.
Re: “Caption Contest: Lamb of God Ticket Giveaway! [Updated]”
"Dad always said that bacon … really suited us," Alex said between sobs as his therapist handed him a box of tissues.
