Having flown several times with my guitar, I can appreciate this. It seems the throwers at United Airlines destroyed a $3500 Taylor guitar. Dave Carroll, the owner, spent 9 months trying to get them to cover the loss. When he told them he was going to post a song on youtube, they said "good luck with [...]

Bark at the Baptists
Today is a great day. Darkness and light. Yin and yang. Salt and pepper. Regular and decaf.
In the words of Morpheus, "fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony". As I’ve mentioned before, today is the birthday of two men who have highly influenced the culture of my life, good or bad.One [...]

Ray Boltz: A Tragic Comedy
It’s probably not what you think.A few days ago, retired Christian recording artist Ray Boltz came out of the closet, announcing his homosexuality. (His website, btw, is having a pretty huge clearance sale. Interpret that how you wish.) “This is what it really comes down to,” he says in a CT interview. “If this [...]

The Leader of the Band
Since I was a freshmen in high school, I’ve loved Dan Fogelberg. (No, it wasn’t ALL hair metal…). Same Old Lang Syne and The Leader of the Band weren’t just songs on the radio–they were experiences. And years later, they still take me back to that freeze-frame moment they created. In fact, I’m a sap: [...]

Heroes Wanted.
It’s the story of a mother who gave birth to a son. And the son who holds the fate of the world in his hands.
Her name is Sarah. Not Mary.
I gotta admit, there’s only about two shows on television I watch with any commitment, so when the announcement came that my one-of-two favorite shows, Heroes, [...] -
Stop Daylight Savings and End Global Warming
As you know, we were already supposed to change over our collective clocks this past Sunday, but Big Brother decided that we needed an extra couple of weeks of Daylight Savings Time. But it goes further.
TreeHugger Labs ran the numbers and has determined that If DST runs half the year for an hour a day, [...] -
Man On Fire?
Of course, you’ve seen the picture of Pope John Paul II as appeared in the fire.
Evidently it’s been crashing some religious websites from all the hits…Perhaps it wasn’t JP after all. Maybe it was actually Johnny Storm…
But that’s just me. Either way…

Out of the Ashes
As many of you know, the phoenix symbolizes immortality, resurrection and life after death. According to the Greeks, the bird lives in Arabia, near a cool well. Every morning at dawn, the sun god would stop his chariot to listen to the bird sing a beautiful song while it bathed in the well.

Stormy Monday
Here in Central Texas, we're under a Winter Storm Advisory/Watch. There are about 4 days in the year that we have a snowball's chance of …snowballs. So, we've spent our MLK day cooped up from icy roads, freezing precip, and a pretty stiff north wind.
Cool.
Tonite, it's supposed to get worse. Tuesday is forcasted to [...] -
I’d Like To Thank All The Little People…
…who made this possible. Thanks to everyone I selfishly used, and even for those who used me. Thank you to my wife and kids for their undying love and support. Thank you to all the bloggers and chatters who've agreed with me and flamed me and boycotted me.
Thank you to those who've encouraged me to [...]
