I'm not the evangelical type to say "Believe my way or burn for eternity. I can't make that choice for anyone but me. All I can do is tell you He changed my life, how he has given me a measure of peace I couldn't find anywhere else, and remembering the emptiness I had before I came to Him. Why...

Correction: Open up your heart and LET God in.

Here's the best tip I can give you. Reading the Bible straight through, from Genesis to Revelation, takes a lot of discipline. If you read a chapter a day, every day, it would take a year. And there's a lot to digest. There are different translations of the Bible. The King James versions as a...

At least if you're overexposed, they'll put you in a freezing cold hospital room. When your body temp reaches the mid 90s, then they'll take you to a hot jail cell.

My sister and brother in law spent a year in Petoskey, Michigan. On a map, Michigan is shaped like a hand. Picture way up north, on top of the middle finger, where three of the Great Lakes meet, that's where they were. Summer was nice, but that winter was like being at the North Pole, with sub...

Up here some of the leaves are changing color already.This week has been incredibly dry, it's been hard for the temps to get above 80, and at night it's gotten a little chilly. Perfect weather for Noo Joisey. This summer wasn't too bad. We had two brutal weeks in July, but August was pleasantly...

Growing up in my house, everybody was poor. The maid was poor, the butler was poor, the chauffeur was poor...

Imaginary ribs can taste good too. 8)

Big Ed's offers St. Louis BBQ, with the ribs getting a dry rub before the hit the grill. They also offer a Cajun rub that has quite a kick to it. And of course, you can't have ribs without cole slaw. Besides the ribs, they also make a fantastic brisket. The chicken is good too, but people come...

Had the world's best ribs. Found this little joint called Big Ed's Barbecue. It's an hour's drive from my house, but worth the drive. They had all-you-can-eat ribs for $20. I managed to put away two full racks. Their bbq ribs were great, but their honey glaze was unbelievable. The best ribs I...

True, having connections help, but I guess that still falls under luck. Usher might have been in the right place at the right time to give Justin Bieber his big break. On the next block there could've been an equally talented kid still living in obscurity.

John Densmore (drummer for the Doors, whose last hit was in 1971) once described what it takes to make it in the music business then and now: 1) Pounding the pavement to make yourself known. You have to hustle so people know who you are. 2) Luck. The Doors happened to be in the right place at...

Pools are okay, if you don't mind swimming in Clorox. One hotel we stayed at quite a bit, I lived in the pool. But I always showered before and after my swim. I wouldn't try any murky ponds or whatnot, but a pool, especially a hotel pool, they are committed to keep it clean for guests...

That's when you turn to God to lift you up. This happens a lot with women in an abusive relationship. They start thinking the abuse is normal. It isn't.

Not that I know of. I have an old VHS copy, but that's it.

Actually, for a manufactured group, they did crank out a few decent tunes. Sure, they had a bank of songwriters to pen the tunes, and session men to play the instruments, but that doesn't mean it was bad. My top 5 Monkee songs: "She","Words", "Goin' Down", "Listen to the Band", and"For Pete's...

I gave up on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame years ago. It took some of my favorite bands decades to get inducted- Yes, Deep Purple, and some are still waiting. Part of the reason, one of the Hall's board members is this guy named Dave Marsh. He's been a wcolumnist and record reviewer forever...

Disney is also getting away with cannibalizing itself again with its live action remake of The Lion King. They have such a short memory. 1994 might be ancient history for most of you, but Disney was on a roll with 2D animation. In a row, we had Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the Little Mermaid, Beauty...

When I joined here many moons ago, I almost considered naming myself Angry Bert. But fuzzygobo won out.

There was a guy on here years back named Corey S. Banned for one reason or another. But his legacy lives on in the comment section of YouTube, with any vintage Sesame clip. "Happy 45th anniversary CTW!" "Gnarly!" "Huzzah!" "Long live Joe Raposo!" He's dead, stupid. "RIP Joe Raposo!" "Can You...
