Ok. There was a certain level of sacrilege on American Idol tonight. This was wrong on so many levels.
I cannot wait to hear Dave White’s take on this one.
How in the world could even attempt this classic Idol “moment”…has he not heard? There is only ONE Boogie.

A few weeks ago, I called for a moratorium from bad news and made a concious decision to be positive and not let my cynicsm get the better of me. I consider it a Lenten penance as I really am a member of the Piss & Moan Club. Colette seized upon this opportunity to support me [...]

St. Louis Cathedral – New Orleans, LA
Since KD announced a mini-”photo” challenge over at her blog, A Half Hour A Day, regarding flowers in black & white that had a quick turnaround, I figured I’d capture some spring foliage on my woman’s weekend in New Orleans. So, in between good eats and great company, I managed [...]

Spotlight on Percy Sledge, y’all.
While most well-known for When A Man Loves A Woman, Southern soul legend Percy Sledge is a master of delivering smoldering, aching love songs that young lovers have been rubbing bellies to for generations.
