Kings of Leon advise One Direction
So when the Oklahoma/Tennessee four-piece offered some party advice to mega pop stars One Direction (who, let’s face it, probably needed it), it came as little surprise. In an interview with The Sun, drummer/party expert Nathan Followill — who parties pretty much 24/7 — offered up this little nugget: “If you’re going to have a […]

East meets West
Seattle’s Rose Windows cram as much into the music as they do players on stage. The seven-piece psychedelic rock outfit has concocted a wholly unique swirl of American classic rock, British prog and psychedelia with ready dabbles into Persian, Indian and Eastern European sounds, making for a worldly musical experience like few others that came […]

It’s appropriate, then, that Luella and the Sun hail from Nashville, Tenn., […]

Rational on climate change
It has become gospel among many on the political left that warmer temperatures are all our fault. Some on the right say don’t worry, be happy. Neither seems aware of the science behind it all. You cannot look at climate in 50-, 100- or even 1,000-year terms. For example, between 900 and 1300 A.D., the […]

Ray of might

That road led to Joshua Tree National Park, and the group found itself intoxicated by the California desert. “We stayed at Hicksville Trailer Palace, which is basically a bunch of vintage trailers around […]

‘Mistaken environmentalists’
He belittles religion for explaining climatology, yet endorses the greenieweenie acceptance of pseudo-science to state that climate change is largely due to man. Since the earth’s atmosphere is comprised of 95 percent water vapor, it stands to reason that the moist air will retain much of the heat generated by our sun. Carbon dioxide comprises […]
