The Best of Nashville issue is reserved for celebrating the best of the past year in our city. It’s a positive affair. So we’ll put it like this: The jingles were good fun, Metro political candidates — but next time around, let’s not. Especially if you’re going to burn them into our brains so hard that months later we’re still doing a “My Sharona” cleanse. There’s nothing wrong with a reminder that “doer” rhymes with “sewer” or a catchy recap of how Nashville’s neighborhoods are connected. But you’re a candidate for public office, not a porcine Frosty Morn byproduct or ambulatory Empire Carpet to be hawked on late-night TV. You’re representing Music City, guys, not the great taste of Funyuns. So: good job, good effort — and good riddance.
