ZZ Top’s Dusty Hill dies 10 days after his last performance in Louisville 🎸🎸
ZZ Top played a sold out show at Louisville's Iroquois Amphitheater on July 18. Bassist/vocalist Dusty Hill sat on a speaker stack for much of the show, forgoing the usual choreographed guitar swaying movements with bandmate Billy Gibbons. 🎸🎸 The next scheduled show, July 21st in Evansville, Indiana was canceled without explanation. Then the band's website posted this hopeful message about a quick return for the ailing Dusty Hill. On July 28, ZZ Top's social media posted this sobering message: "We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX. We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature
⛳️ Bipartisan Charity Golf Match ⛳️ Yarmuth & Meiners prevail as $15,000 goes to charities
⛳️ The Bipartisan Charity Golf Match at Valhalla generated $15,000, split evenly between the WHAS Crusade for Children and Louisville's West End School. Thanks to Senator Rand Paul and Representative John Yarmuth for illustrating that those with nearly polar opposite political views can work together for charity. Businessman/philanthropist Junior Bridgeman leveled the donations so that each charity picked up $7,500. Congratulations to Team Yarmuth/Meiners for closing out the match on #16 with a Yarmuth birdie. 🏆 Peace is possible! 💯 #BipartisanCharityGolf FINAL ⛳️ After a @RepJohnYarmuth birdie on 16, Team Yarmuth/Meiners closes out Team Paul/Bridgeman ⛳️‼️ $7,500 to @CrusadeChildren $2,500 to West End School@RepJohnYarmuth @RandPaul @840WHAS @WHAS11 pic.twitter.com/HaECQL4FKb — Terry Meiners (@terrymeiners) July 23, 2021 #Kentucky #charities #Republican #Democrat #bipartisanship If you asked the average person, would a Republican and
The best thing you’ll read today: The American Descent into Madness
"In Cuban-fashion, millions of judge-jury-executioner online snitches, with government encouragement, will help root out incorrect thoughts at light speed." Victor Hanson Davis The last two years have wrought a societal slump that could reduce the United States of America to ruins. McCarthyism is back. The woke embrace of Cuba's communists and rejection of American exceptionalism is astounding. Bonus stimulus checks without any effort from the recipients. Borders flooded with people demanding to be taken care of. A woke military that's more concerned with social justice than providing national security. Scant police coverage so that looting, assault, and destruction of property are barely noticed. Today's progressives read those words and ask, "So what?" What happened to America? This comprehensive piece from Victor Hanson Davis provides a
How much do y’all radio deejays make? Ain’t y’all loaded?
"You deejays make all that BIG MONEY!" Well...some do, some don't. It's all about the deal that's struck with management. Deejays who are connected to revenue streams typically pull better salaries. I've done at least 7 critical negotiations with management at WLRS-FM, then WQMF-FM, and then a series of revolving deals with the various managers of WHAS Radio and television over the past 45 years. WHAS Radio news anchors recently discovered a treasure trove of station documents, including this 1943 contract for staff announcer and "specialty man" services. There were also rates for singers, musicians, actors, and sound effects specialists. Here is a 1976 proposal from WKQQ/Lexington program director Dick Hungate to his manager requesting to unplug the automation and switch to live
MEDIA BLOOPERS FOR JUNE 2021 — Easy for YOU to say!
When America laughs at the weather dude, it's a good news day! Media bloopers. Always great stuff. WAVE3's Ryan Hoke made the above blooper reel. You'll see it at the :37 mark. Sportswriter Rick Bozich knows his stuff, but just like 99% of us, he cannot properly pronounce the name of Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Watch below via the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Not only is Giannis Antetokounmpo impossible to defend, he’s impossible to pronounce… #NBAFinals pic.twitter.com/kz5aOdac6k— Jimmy Kimmel Live (@JimmyKimmelLive) July 15, 2021 Bozich writes: And for those of you who love wacky TV graphics, think about the young person working at WAVE3 news who labeled University of Louisville national champion Milt Wagner as a "fan" commenting on a team issue in 2018.
Look! Look! Look! I’m wearing my neurological issues! I’m cooler than you!
Media in a snit fit over LSU dropout’s market power
Meet Addison Rae Easterling. She's 20 years old and has millions of followers on social media. Journalists are jelly because Addison Rae joked about 3 months of college education landing her a prime sports reporting job. All the people complaining about this because they studied sports broadcasting for 30 years should simply try having 80+ million tiktok followers https://t.co/0Zj8UN3d3X — Brendan O'Keeffe (@BrendanKOKeeffe) July 10, 2021 She's funny, smart, strategic, and telegenic. Those are ingredients for success in many careers. Oh my, media peeps. Get over yourselves. This kid has a massive online following and that puts her in a much stronger negotiating position than Jenny Journalism School grad. But whine on if that makes you feel better. Edward R. Murrow ain't walking through that door
Joanne from Vail offers CRT, Clumsy Race Theory 🙄
The liberal white savior always knows what's best for Black people. You don't even need to ask. They'll just tell you without prompting. 😖 Change your name to DeShawn or Jamal, take off the suit, tie and handkerchief, put on a hoodie, and drive through a gated community of rich white folk and see what happens. — Joanne Yankovich (@joanneyankovich) June 6, 2021 Barrington Martin II is a great follow on Twitter. He confounds Liberals who constantly tell him that he is not the Black man that he should be! How dare he conduct his life on his own terms! Barrington's poignant responses to challengers are Twitter gold. Some of his like-minded supporters deliver top notch insights, too. "Munchausen by proxy" is a brilliant
Two-fer Tuesday – media is getting torched
Today's not Tuesday but when do facts matter? Here are a few Poynter tweets to amplify the fade of American traditional media. Reports on crime must first be weighed through a racial equity prism before a decision is made whether to publish. Because...optics over facts! "We don’t need to publicize the crime blotter simply because it fills airtime or generates clicks... Every decision we make about the details we include — and what we exclude — sends a message to our audience."https://t.co/WWaZAAl8qM — Poynter (@Poynter) June 23, 2021 Newspapers? Yep. Some people still read them until they wind up on the overpriced obituary page(s). Almost 40 journalists at the Chicago Tribune are taking buyouts and leaving the paper. That number includes some of the
