Judge ye not
Brad Gregg Well, there’s always the judiciary — that pesky third branch of government that makes a reasonable attempt to remain free of influence from special interest groups.

Beck’s un-electability, however, is the premise behind his live comedy show, which makes a stop Friday at the Civic Center Music Hall (a performing arts venue built and maintained with public funds). Unelectable is sure to incite the choir. In a 2009 Salon article, Steve Almond called Beck […]

Lil’ unprepared
Credit: Brad Gregg But the problem, according to a Thunder spokesman, was pretty simple: Lil Wayne didn’t have a ticket. The Thunder contended that the rapper only wanted to sit in the front row, but that no tickets — least of all the Nicholson seats — were still available. Did Lil Wayne have a special […]
