Who are the most loyal fans in the world? Could it be the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland Indians, or the Green Bay Packers fans? I guess it all depends on how you measure loyalty.

One of the tricks of the mind is that we remember things like a snapshot. After a few years our image of the past is cast in indelible concrete like an old picture in the shoe box up in the attic or a statue in the town square

The inventor of Coca-Cola died penniless and addicted to Morphine. John Pemberton fought in the civil war on the losing side. He was almost killed by a saber wound and became addicted to morphine to ease the pain.

There has been a lot of talk lately about loyalty. It used to be considered a good trait to have in a friend or co-worker. One of the earliest lessons, I learned in my industrial sales life was that most of my customers were in fact customers and not friends.

Even though we Georgians claim the Allman Brothers as our own, they actually did not settle in Georgia until after they were well on their way to stardom. Of course no good story stand on its own, they must be embellished with a bit of folklore.

I heard one of the pundits on the morning news make a statement that struck me a very profound. Speaking about the bombing in Manchester, England, he stated that England is the most surveilled country in the world. Manchester is 2nd behind London as the most surveilled city in England.

There was a TV show in the mid nineteen Seventies called Movin' On. It starred Claude Aikins and Frank Converse. They filmed all over the country. It was kind of a travelogue version of "Then Came Bronson" except in a big ole Kenworth-Truck instead of a Harley.

A review of Music, Movie, Life or Politics, You be the judge. Back in 1963 when I was a hopeless romantic, I saw a movie that told me all I needed to know about life.

Comedy has always been in the eye of the beholder, and every generation has their favorites. But it was not always a big money maker for the comedians. Many labored away in small clubs and the Catskills telling their stories and jokes to largely small crowds.

I have found that it is always good to end the week or start the weekend with a touch of humor. Since I retired, I have not had to worry much about how to start the week. I seem to remember it starts with an Alarm, but I could be wrong about that.

If you got this far and think that Willie is dead, he is still alive. (as of April 30, 2017 6:30 AM) This is an album review and not an obituary.

We are right on the cusp of a mile race but have only completed the first 100 yards (days), so it may be a bit premature to declare a winner. But what do I know, I had to quit sports and go to work and they may have altered the course length since 1960.

Following my usual practice when I write an article about a musician passing, I usually do a bit more research on the musician. That usually includes a review of articles from Rolling Stone and other music-oriented sites. By far the best way to get a flavor of the impact of a musician is to watch s

If you are like me, you probably hate what has come to be known as "Click Bait." That is when you see a title so outrageous that you click on it to see what the hell extreme about the subject.

The J. Geils band was formed in 1967. They hung around until 1985 when they broke up like all good rock bands are want to do. The result was a series of lawsuits and bad feelings. Like any bad marriage the breakup was based on a shaky ground of "Creative Differences."

Alex Ortolano recently posted an article here on BCN which explained how a Medivac crew located and picked up wounded soldiers during his tour in 1965. Here is another tribute to those Lunatics of the Sky.

What do you do after you have left the stage after the final curtain call of your last Movie or Play? You have poured your heart into the performance. You have endured the exposure to the critics and the cheerleaders. You have relinquished your part to the next headliner.
