Ever fantasize about being sandwiched between two high-intensity rock critics hard at their craft?

Me neither.

Still that’s exactly what happened at Friday’s amazingly killer Alice Cooper concert at Ameristar Casino. I saw Cooper back in the day in local rock concert legend Chris Fritz’s suite at Kemper Arena. Totally ignored the show. Suites may be the stuff dreams are made of in Corporate America, but to my thinking they’re Continue reading →

In what appears to be the Power & Light

August 16th doesn’t mean much to those of you who believe The King is still alive...

Naturally, we’re talking about Elvis Aaron Presley. Anybody remember Kansas City physician Dr. Donald Hinton’s book a handful of years back in which he claimed to be treating the big E?

And what about those KY 102 and 99.7 KY Elvis Parades downtown? This will be – what? – the second straight year without one of those. KUDL FM afternoon host Tanna Guthrie fought hard to keep the parade alive but in the end, it just didn’t appear to be a good fit for her new soft rock signal.

“We have been hired by a publishing company in Massachusetts to write a huge cookbook,” says Robert Krause. “So my wife Continue reading →

The sad state of Kansas City’s professional sports scene has resulted – by my limited measure – in an ongoing spate of spares sports coverage by national media like ESPN the Magazine…

But we’ll take what we can get, right?

In the case of ESPN’s August 10th issue, that’s mainly a couple blips about Tom Watson.

That’s right, it’s come to this; senior citizens of the world rejoice!

“No disrespect to Stewart Clink…but how sweet would it have been to see Tom Watson holding the Claret Jug?a reads queries.

“Tom’s missing an eight-foot par putt to become the oldest man to win a major might seem like failure to some sports fans, but I couldn’t have more respect for him if he had made it,” answers ESPN’s Stuart Scott.

Hold it right there. Continue reading →
