Re: “Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at Bonnaroo's What Stage, 6/16/13”
He definitely seemed more into the less familiar things: the covers (an area where the Heartbreakers have always excelled), "Tweeter," the stuff off MOJO. It'd be great to see him dig into the deep catalog, which has a lot of my favorites (e.g., "A One Story Town" off LONG AFTER DARK). I always hold out hope for "Ways to be Wicked."
Re: “Flipping Channels: Hannibal Cleans Its Plate”
I've been blown away by Gillian Anderson's turn as Dr. Lecter's psychiatrist. She's playing it so composed & restrained that ice won't melt in her mouth. Between Hannible & The Fall, which I just finished binge-watching this weekend, I'd say Scully is having nice moment.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
I bet he was just exploring Antioch and saw on the map that it was in the eastern part of Davidson county and just got confused. That's got to be it.
Anyways, I clicked on the article and it is poorly written and full of stupid stereotypes, which is not surprising. "I thought the home of country music would be a little more…country?" He was expecting Nashville to look like Broadway in the 1950's apparently. Instead it looks like "the Bronx." I guess there are too many minorities here and he needed a respite from that kind of thing since he lives in Atlanta. I hope he didn't venture down to Nolensville Road. He would have learned that there were "furners" down there.
Anyways, a person could learn more about Nashville by watching the show "Nashville" than by reading that article.

Did anyone else see that DJ w/ all the extreme booty dancers Saturday night around 2:30a.m. on what I think is called the fountain stage?

"You can also tell us how Nashville benefits from the seemingly teeming white trash wiggers."
Hey, now. That's no way to talk about Fan Fair.
Re: “Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at Bonnaroo's What Stage, 6/16/13”
TP is one of my favorite rockers of all time but his set lists are so tired. He throws in a couple of decent deep cuts every few years, but with a catalog as deep as his, he could mix it up a lot more and it'd still keep everybody happy. I fear he's on autopilot now.
Re: “Jay Luther's Family Suing Cooler Company, Metro Nashville Police Over Luther's Death in Restaurant”
>>The latch release didn’t work, according to both the lawsuit and police investigation of the incident.<<
Seems to me THIS would be the responsibility of the one running the restaurant? As well as ensuring a MSDS were accurate & in place.

A liberal wanting to increases taxes. Whoda thunk it??????

Re: “Bill Haslam and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week”
>>The new governing mindset is based on cronyism and ignorance<<
Tell us again the name of the guy Gov. Bredesen named to head the TN board of Regents whom doesn't even have a Master's Degree? I can't recall his name. The job description was written so as fit his (& only his) resume` to a "t".
I also don't recall virtually ANY outrage over former House Speaker Naifeh's wife being a lobbiest doing business with the state?
Libtards crack me up in here. Y'all act like there's NEVER been an iota of graft, corruption or incompetence with a Dim administration or pol (go look up the golf course & business park, etc. built in Naifeh's & Wilder's district for starters) in TN, EVER. Y'all can't seem to remember Ray Blanton & his being REMOVED from office early due to pardon selling.
For the slow-witted (i.e. liberals), no one is saying Haslam is the greatest Gov since Ellington. But he's sure as hell by no means the idiot nor the crook liberals wish him to be. Too bad. Enjoy the next four years!!!!!
Re: “Nashville Symphony Musicians Issue Statement Ahead of Contract Negotiations”
Oh, yes the AFM did---and it was a snarky, awful, mean, and ignorant shoot-from-the-hip hatchet job.

'' Liberals were no friends of freedom seeking Europeans and it was conservatives who caused the Berlin Wall to come down. Left up to liberals, the Soviet Union would still be in existence and Iran would still be holding American hostages.'
' i LOLed so hard at your hero ray gun , and your assumptions he and neo cons caused the communism to crumble, really idiot, really?, it was the communism and his own weight that caused the natural death, ray gun had no influence at all..also you have to take responsability and your neo cons, and ray gun, of causing massive killings in central america,, more than 200, 000 killed by death squads,(Rios Mont) in guatemala, (ARENA) in el salvador, and the contras in nicaraugua, seems your stupid trolling and revisionist history is a little hazy, but that is ok,,dementia is taking over your decrepit ass,, you just got served, self serving asshole, now go and take your medicine , and call the nurse to change your diaper..

Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
>>>loss of cultural identity ... coupled with its decline in the quality of its residents
Uh, and you actually think East Nashville is representative of an area of town devoid of cultural identity? Wow.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
A few updates to my post: Jim Goad isn't so old; his grumpy, semi-veiled racism only comes across that way. And TakiMag, which I was also unfamiliar with, is clearly WAAAAAY far-right propaganda, wrapped in a more smiley-faced, alt press magazine style. Unfortunately, their stable of smiley faces includes John Derbyshire, Michelle Malkin, Patrick Buchanan, and a buncha other "racial realist" VDARE weirdos. From their perspective, multiculturalism of any kind is bad, but I'm sure they'll find places with the acceptable level of whiteness they seek if they keep on lookin'! So Nashville came up short in that regard, to Jim Goad? Well, gosh darn it! How dang tragic!
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
The author of that article called children "mulatto", spoke of someone as being of "Hindu" descent (Hindu is not a race), and used the n-word with a w thrown in front. And some Pith commenters seem to think that's just dandy. I love this city, but it's y'all, not poor folks in East Nashville, who make me ashamed.
Re: “Meet the World's Worst Visitor to Nashville”
You should also read the comment section. It's about as racist as they come. One of the commentors actually said "I generally prefer the company of other whites because we are, as a whole, a smarter, more industrious, more pleasant, and overall a higher quality of people than most immigrants."
There was mostly agreement. I bet X-ray and Zoombah have a new favorite internet blog.
