Thought you’d get a kick outta this mild Montana media outrage, which befell station KRTV from Great Falls, one of the two local stations I grew up watching, whether from the Rocky Boy’s Indian Reservation (1968-71) or Havre (1972-83). My ol’ pal Jay is clearly enjoying the egg dripping down KRTV’s face! Very nicely done…. …
TK, I ran across this piece by Sean Beaudoin at Salon.com. It’s a list of the bands he will be forced to listen to in hell: http://www.salon.com/2012/07/11/the_ten_bands_i_will_be_forced_to_listen_to_in_hell_salpart/ Top ten lists are nothing new—but there was something a little different about this one. Beaudoin just seems to center on the bands/artists he despises the most from …
Hi Tom – Below is a story that appeared last week in the Great Falls Tribune. The Hi-Line may be getting even more attention via cinema (hopefully Winter in the Blood will see the screens sometime soon). However, this movie looks to be pure Hollywood with the "A-list" actors probably only looking to pad bank accounts rather than …
That sounds positively infernal, Jay, but I’m glad persons, beasts and buildings have thus far been spared! And I certainly agree with you about the climatic insanity of The Hi-Line. With Havre’s record temps ranging from 117 above down to 52 below zero, I think we’ve got a spread that’s unmatchable, at 169 degrees! Nowhere …
LORD OF THE FLIES at Havre High! With All-Male AND all-Female Casts!, By Tom Kipp and Jay Schuschke
I most certainly read Lord of the Flies at Havre High School, very likely mediated by Mr. Axel Schmaing, though in just what course escapes me at the moment. I also had the great pleasure of seeing the truly harrowing 1963 Brit film during the Spring of 1980, as part of Prof. Robert Arends’ infamously …
I had a fine time watching last weekend’s Montana-related playoff games, though the Sam Houston State/MSU blowout was rather painful at times, due to the Bobcats tossing away several good opportunities to at least keep the game close. Perhaps the Griz will fare quite a bit better tonight…. And re: a Division I football …
Hi folks: Haven’t seen anything quite this knowing or smoldering in quite some time, and NEVER from a putative Teen Idol! “I said, a-HOOOO! Rock me, baby…” Possibly the only guy I’ve ever seen look his best in a full silver lamé suit, including Elvis and Bowie, though of course Iggy rocked the silver pants-only …
If competent writing is the criterion, Donald Trump fails to qualify as a candidate for anything. Read this section from a CNN article; pay close attention to Mr. Trump’s written response to Mr. Seinfeld’s decision: According to Seinfeld’s manager, the television star "feels this kind of demagoguery has no place in public discourse." Although the …
I will try to get more information on this to you later – or you can look on the web – Nate Montana, son of NFL’s Joe Montana, has transferred from Notre Dame to the University of Montana to play quarterback. He started classes there today according to one report I read. More later …
Since I read the reconstituted, on-line-only version of the venerable CRAWDADDY! [thoughtfully bundled in with my weekly Wolfgang’s Vault concert archive e-mails] with some regularity, I can vouch for its residual interest, though I seldom look at more than one or two articles per virtual “issue”. On the whole, it’s fine. But this li’l bit …
