Re: MLB 2017

Highly enjoyable World Series. And I've come around on Joe Buck as a baseball, at least, play by play man and Smoltz is clearly the best analyst in the business.

Re: Heathens Homecoming 2018

Last year Smitty and I were transferring tix back and forth for one of the nights (shockingly I don't remember which one). We get to the door and everything is all confused and finally the door guy just takes it on faith that we both bought tickets and waves us in. Clearly, we had that HeAthen look ...

Re: Atlanta 9/29-9/30

I've only been seeing the boys live since Spring 2012 (beginning of the Patton Era), maybe 50 shows. Their growth in that time is stunning. They've clearly hit upon a magical lineup. From re-working the "standards" to Hood and Cooley writing their best material, it all works. And their stage craft i...
