Dateline: May 1959 - Elvis Movie Causes Mexican Riot
Funny how some of the reporters were so offended by the alleged bigotry of Elvis, yet didn't find it hypocritical to call him a maricon - ultimately, being bigoted toward LGBT's - ahh, and the epithets go round and round. Interesting article Jay, thanks— May 22, 2013 10:45 p.m.
What Edwin Decker Saw
There was no squirming Joaquin, I stood by my comments (jokes) and defended myself against accusations of homophobia. But I never retracted nor bowed to the pressure. I suppose I could have written "relax folks, it was just a joke." But that would leave me with another 900 words to come up with to complete the column— August 23, 2012 10:27 a.m.
Rock ’n’ Roll Peg Pollard
I actually worked with RnR Peg at 102.1 for a bit. The thing that always blew me away about her was her immersion into the music. She knew her stuff and enjoyed talking about it. I think that's why we got along so well. Excellent article Dave and Peg - oh the memories (I hated Delaney's sexy-time antics as well)— March 9, 2012 8:37 p.m.

Bloodless
Monsters is playing with another Ultimate Music Challenge band (Dazed and Confused) at 710 Beach Club tonight. They're both awesome bands. In fact, Dazed (a Led Zep tribute band) got eeked out by Monsters, who made it all the way to the final-finals.— July 11, 2009 10:34 a.m.
Happy Tummy
Refried, Barbarella, I think you're both making to much of a hoo-ha over the. "I don't mind if you eat meat" statement. Put yourselves in their shoes for a moment: They have heard over and over (especially through articles such as Barb's) that they are forceful and overbearing about their diet choices. It seems to me that when a vegan says something like that, they are not giving permission for you to eat what you want, rather, they are anticipating the meat eater's discomfort (if not guilt) and being proactive in trying to eliminate it. This behavior should be rewarded, not scorned. Furthermore, I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, but it seems to me that their dining choices are under far more scrutiny than than the meat eater's choices ever will be as I have seen them attacked relentlessly, in person, and in print, over and over again. Sure, there are the militant, annoying few, but as StuntDouble said, "Honestly, how many times have you been lectured by a Vegan." In my life, the answer is never, AND I LIVE IN OB!— April 9, 2009 10:15 p.m.
Ferris Bueller You're My Hero
Josh, yes, I know you said that you didn't think I had stolen your idea. That's why I wrote, "Please tell your caller..." etc, because it was the caller, according to your post, that made the accusation. And yes, I saw that you wrote that I came up with many good ideas in your post, and I appreciate that. But again, most of my remarks were aimed at your caller. Please don't confuse my post as an angry response to your blog. It really wasn't. I was just chiming in because I can't help myself. I harbor no ill will for you whatsoever, even if had you said that I wrote crappy columns and had crappy ideas. I do stand by my comment about your having delusions of grandeur if you really believe that CityBeat takes it's cover ideas from you. Especially when you talk about how comedians and writers often come up with the same ideas simultaneously, why not editors and publishers too? As for my saying that I don't steal from columnists in the same market, what I should've wrote was "if." IF I was going to plagiarize, I wouldn't do it from a writer in the same market.

Ferris Bueller You're My Hero
Well, since I’m the author of the CityBeat column in question, I just have to chime in and say there was no way I stole this idea from your blog. I stole it from some other blogger, somewhere out in the Midwest, whose name I don’t remember, but who probably would’ve been angry about it, if he hadn’t stolen the idea from somebody else, who, in turn, pulled it from yet another writer. Josh, please tell the caller that I never saw your article about the subject, and maybe also mention that I’m not so stupid as to plagiarize from columnists in the same market. One more thing: The insinuation that CityBeat editors take their cover ideas from the things you talk about “at parties or in other stories” is ludicrous. I like you man, but you have some serious delusions of grandeur if you really believe that. Respectfully, Edwin Decker— February 10, 2008 10:33 p.m.
