Oh, Kentucky

Nicely done, by Jeffrey Lee Puckett in The Courier-Journal: "... Ear X-tacy wasn’t just a resource. It stood for something, representing an aesthetic and sensibility that Louisvillians embraced as reflecting their own: art, independence, community. ..."

Garrison Keillor thinks he has been to Murray before, but he was too vulnerable to remember.

George Fant is already my favorite Hilltopper men's basketball player since Jack Jennings.

Rest in peace, Mr. Minnix, toymaker, knifetrader and 36-year employee of Washington Overall Manufacturing.

  1. Garrison Keillor's comment on writer's block is the best analysis of that phenomenon I have ever read.

  3. i will say this about this about that point in the Garrison Keillor interview, however. good for him that he doesn't experience "writer's block." that's quite a blessing. but if other people say they experience it, i'm apt to trust that their analysis of it moreso.

  5. i'm sure it's true for him. i think we, though, tend to be least forgiving of the absence of gifts/blessings in other people that we are gifted/blessed. Garrison Keillor is blessed/gifted with being able to focus and make hay, so he would be less forgiving of folks who aren't blessed/gifted in that way.

    i am very, very excited about his show in murray tomorrow night.
