Re: “Live: Phil Cook and his Guitarheels celebrate Ry Cooder”
Great review.
Re: “Chapel Hill paves the way for more food trucks”
This will only benefit Chapel Hill. I am glad they got with the times. The food scene in Chapel Hill is so tired. You have run down crappy pub fare for the college kids. Or uninspired bougie food for all the old money in town. But Durham still has Fullsteam which means its worth the drive for the beer + food trucks, unless Chapel Hill gets a brewery in the future.
Re: “A loopy musical send-up with a heart: this Drowsy Chaperone's no sleeper”
great review - thank you for such a heart felt insight into a great performance!
Re: “A loopy musical send-up with a heart: this Drowsy Chaperone's no sleeper”
Thank you so much for the thoroughness of this glowing review... I so wanted to be there, but since I couldn't, it's nice that your review tells so much about the story and Clay's presentation. And the pix help so much to bring it alive for me!
Re: “Update: Longtime regional director Haskell Fitz-Simons dies at 64”
Thank you Byron. He meant a lot to all of us at RLT.
Re: “Update: Longtime regional director Haskell Fitz-Simons dies at 64”
Very sad. Haskell was a remarkable person, and a very great many people mourn his passing.
Re: “Update: Longtime regional director Haskell Fitz-Simons dies at 64”
Rest well, dear mentor.
Re: “Carolina RailHawks stings San Antonio Scorpions 5-2, sits alone atop NASL standings”
don't worry Zack, we'll be back!
Re: “Carolina RailHawks acquire Enzo Martinez on loan from Real Salt Lake, other player arrivals imminent”
That remains to be seen. My understanding is that Rutkiewicz finally arrived in Cary this weekend (5/12). I know Clarke is high on his arrival. However, James and Hamilton have been an effective pairing in the back. That said, with James' injury issues and Hamilton's aggressive demeanor, the RailHawks can't have enough depth at CB.
Re: “Two weeks without the Possum, Part Two: Tom Maxwell considers George Jones' vocal poignancy”
I can't explain the influence George Jones, like George Strait and other Great Country singers had on my life. I would like to say that George Jones is uniquivically one of the best, and nobody who is a REAL COUNTRY FAN would never even think of any of his stumbles because everyone has gone through their own and George got through his hard times, smelling like a rose. I am going to miss you, Sir...FOREVER!!!!
Re: “Two weeks without the Possum, Part Two: Tom Maxwell considers George Jones' vocal poignancy”
Love this. So well said!!!
Re: “A loopy musical send-up with a heart: this Drowsy Chaperone's no sleeper”
I saw The Drowsy Caperone on Tuesday and loved it so much that I went back to see it again on Wednesday. Kudos to Clay, Beth and everyone involved in this wonderful production.
Re: “Two weeks without the Possum, Part One: John Howie Jr. reflects on his youth and an evening with George Jones”
The two tributes to George Jones are brilliant insightful writings by two accomplished musicians. Certainly we are warned of the humiliations that can come from fame, others knowing too much about your business, by the lives of people like George Jones, whose business is their lives, and what they have to sell.
Some of us survive and just to be spiteful. Others end up walking around like demigods looking down quietly and kindly.
Sounds like Georges Jones was in the latter category.
I admit that some of my note here is informed by being close enough to watch Mr,Jones backstage as the electrician on a show in the Greensboro Auditorium. I am grateful to know both Mr. Howie, and Mr. Maxwell. Mr. Maxwell is on the road to having his own magazine, and or a show on VICE.

Be there March 6, 4pm. You owe it to yourself, your family, your children and society if you desire to live in a society in North Carolina and maintain a mere minimum of freedoms from government intrusion and exclusion in your life. Don"t fool yourself that you will be taken care of with the various social systems in place. They are vanishing daily in our State. I will be there, ready to STAND TALL.. We should all be fortunate William Barber has 20/20 vision in these matters. Thank you, Dr. Barber...
Re: “Carolina RailHawks acquire Enzo Martinez on loan from Real Salt Lake, other player arrivals imminent”
Martinez looks to be a great addition. Wonder how much Rutkiewicz will offer?
