It's a list that punctuates just how huge these two tragedies were: June 6, on State Route 82 Injured: Isaias De La Cruz-Gonzalez, 21 of Guatamala; Jose...
I've been working on a list of people or things that Katie McFadzen possibly can't play. Here's what I have so far: a pencil sharpener; Stalin; a venereal disease. But don't quote me on any of these, because it's likely that next month she'll show up on a local stage...

It's been five years since Loretta Lynn's Grammy-winning collaboration with Jack White but it seemed even longer at last night's Celebrity Theatre show, where the Van Lear Rose era seemed long forgotten. Sure, a few curious hipsters made their way down to the show, but, for the most part it...
Tre Fields, a co-captain of the Carl Hayden Community High School Falcons football team, slipped into that place between consciousness and dreaming. A thought rolled into Tre's mind and stuck.

Put simply, Loretta Lynn is the "Queen of Country Music." The just-turned-74 singer occupies rarefied air in the pantheon of country musicians, and deservedly so.

A shaggy, intermittently hilarious wish-fulfillment nightmare about sorta dissatisfied, sorta middle-aged dudesters...
Before the Unwigged & Unplugged show even started last night, the official Spinal Tap moment had already happened.
