My first car was a baby blue Fiat 850 Sport convertible -- I can't even believe my parents let me drive the car, it was so tiny. It was like riding in a cute little, dangerous, tin can. The car was old when I got it, but I couldn't care ...
In preparing for an interview with Ann Wilson yesterday, I read Ann and Nancy's brand new autobography, "Kicking and Dreaming," and found it very entertaining. I don't think the sisters left many questions unanswered, and I was filled with renewed awe of their talent, and of their unwavering will to make careers ...
It started at lunchtime yesterday. My brother Leo, who's lived in Denver for years, called to wager with me on the Falcons/Broncos game last night. He makes a lot more money than I do so we agreed on a price that would hurt me a lot more than it would hurt ...
I love talking to Jimmy Hall because he is such a big part of Atlanta's musical heritage, he's got a wonderful attitiude -- he LOVES what he does, and he's got great stories! Yesterday we talked about the fellow musicians he'll be sharing the stage with tomorrow night at the ...
There are very few things I can say I've been a fan of nearly my whole life, but The Falcons are one of them! I'm a happy camper they played so well beating The Chiefs in our season-opener away game 40 - 24 yesterday. My Pats won, too, and I'm ...
I was tickled to get a chance to speak with Brooke Elliott of Lifetime's "Drop Dead Diva" fame this morning. My Mom and I have gotten together Sunday evenings for years and "DDD" is such a hoot that Mom and I both enjoy watching it together every week it's on. The big wedding ...
"Already Taken," a young band of friends including The B's blonde bombshell Cindy Wilson's teen-aged son and daughter are playing The Fabolous Fox tomorrow night, opening for The B52's on their 35th anniversay tour. Tickets are still available for what will be a blast of an evening, so be sure ...
I've loved watching MasterChef for a couple of years so I was really tickled when I learned that an old buddy of mine, Monti Carlo, would be among the home-cooks on the show vying for $250,000! Monti's got such a fun, unusual personality, so i knew she'd get noticed. But ...
I've recently had some fantastic meals at new Atlanta restaurants and wanted to share the food love with you, so I'll feature my three new favorites in my blog the next couple of days. Last night we celebrated my friend Anthony's 50th birthday at the new Italian restaurant near Piedmont ...

I loved listening last Sunday night to my buddy Reece's new show, The Deep River Music Vault! I felt like I was listening to radio 20 years ago when the djs got to play the deeper cuts and turn their audience on to music they might not ever hear somewhere else. ...
BIG weekend happenings! I'm psyched about my dear friend Chef Hans Rueffert on GA Public Broadcasting tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. Please watch or TiVo the first show in his new TV cooking series, Eat Like There's No Tomorrow." Comedian, goddess Kathy Griffin has 2 shows at The Fox tomorrow night, ...

Oh, this'll be fun -- judging lawyers' musical talents!! They'll be rockin' and rollin', and I'll be one of three judges (sans robe and gavel.) I've heard great things about this event, and you can join me for it this Saturday, June 9th, starting at 7p at The Variety Playhouse ...
I just LOVE the Indigo Girls! Their lyrics and music have always touched me. Their vocal harmonies are unmatched. They are true gems of the south, and I am honored to have known them professionally since their early days. Although I didn't know them in school, Emily, Amy, and I graduated from Emory ...
I didn't think "The Voice" came together too well last season, but I really enjoyed the season that just finished though I was surprised about the guy who won it -- he didn't stand out to me much at all. One guy who did stand out to many fans of the show ...
'Twas fun to hear The River 500 over the weekend. Culled from your suggestions, mine, and other River Crew folks, we came up with a pretty good representation of our favorite 500 classic rock songs. It's nearly impossible for me to name my Top 5, but I will tryand I'd ...
Phillip Phillips from Leesburg, GA, a tiny town of 2900 near Albany, has won American Idol -- nice! I don't think there was a dry eye in the house when he was so overcome with emotion that he couldn't finish his song after he was announced the winner. It's reported that ...
Sadie needs to be the only pet in someone's home. She's a young, wonderful dog who will make someone a great pet, and people have shown interest in her but we need someone who does not have other pets which makes placing her more difficult. Do you know someone who has ...
Oh, I know some people can't stand American Idol -- I know some that think it's rigged. I've always enjoyed it, and it's made super-stars of some real talent that we probably would have never seen. Take Phillip Phillips -- yes, that's really his name. Unless you were aware of him ...
