Congrats Ken! You follow in the famous celebrity footsteps of Eddie Murphy, George Clooney, Meg Ryan, Woody Harrelson and Michael J. Fox who also turn 50 years old this year. Factually speaking, Ken was born March 11, 1961. The year marks the “swingin’ sixties,” being a member of the baby boomer generation when John F. Kennedy was president, [...]

It’s a classic battle. On one side are the corporations who would inject millions of dollars into struggling rural economies and justify the action as an economic benefit pitted against National environmental groups who state it will pose a threat to public safety and a risk to the environment. But I’ve gotten ahead of myself. If [...]

Let’s be clear. Lady Gaga (a.k.a. Stefani Joanne Anglina Germanotta) grates on me. Her lifetime achievement of ten songs are not only a derivative, but uninspired. More on music later. She’s been everywhere: award shows, gay-rights rallies, magazine covers, stadiums, YouTube, Letterman, SNL, Grammy’s, etc. She consistently makes headlines for wearing outrageous outfits – a meat dress here, [...]

It’s official. The first work from Harley-Davidson’s new ‘hookup’ with Boulder, CO.-based crowdsourcing agency Victor & Spoils has debuted on YouTube. The consumer-created spot was born of a new agency model that H-D adopted after parting with longtime agency Carmichael Lynch last year. Watch the YouTube video HERE. Congrats and a shout out to Whit Hiler, the Kentuckian who’d [...]

Republican Rep. Andy Olson, a 29-year OSP veteran turned Albany lawmaker has a fatal flaw. He wants to be liked by motorcyclists. It all started when he sponsored House Bill 3141 which allows Oregon motorcycle riders and passengers to ride without helmets if they’re 21 or older. The bill would amend the state motorcycle helmet law to say [...]

Yes, the “B-side” of Ohio. Warren Haynes can not only play, but he can SING! If this were 1971 instead of 2011 Warren would be a household name, someone all over the radio. Watch this video HERE. The title says “Gold Dust Woman”. But when Warren steps to the mic, he starts singing that legendary cappella CSNY song…”Find The Cost [...]
