The starlings are telling me it’s spring. They come to Nashville in March by the zillions, and I think they all hang out in the alley behind my apartment. It’s their spring break hot spot.

I’m pleased to announce the Foaming Hand Soap won last week’s poll, a hotly contested election of America’s Favorite Public Restroom Soap.

I enjoy watching football games on TV, but I have to admit I’m not as enthusiastic about the whole production as I used to be. Does that have anything to do with my favorite team being awful? Probably. I also think I value my time more, and spending hours in front of a TV makes [...]
Also tagged Ain't That AmericaHere’s a new poll to re-start a MoodyTunes feature from days gone by. As you can see, we’re going to confront some important topics in Monday Polls.
