Will This Nightmare Be Over Or Is It Just Beginning?

This would be the type ofContinue reading “Will This Nightmare Be Over Or Is It Just Beginning?”

Fake It Till You Make It

I’ve never had to work in the food service industry. I have had to clean up shit that was on the floor. And it wasn’t mine. It was human excrement. The summer of 1998 I got a job bagging groceries at the Piggly Wiggly in my hometown of Calhoun, Ga. Now, this town produced someContinue reading “Fake It Till You Make It”

Old school musicians were considered “outlaws” and the music was full of anger, sadness, hurt, desperation and vitality. Kris Kristofferson was one of many along with Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, WaylonContinue reading “Kris Kristofferson: A Poet, A Picker, A Prophet, A Pusher, A Pilgrim, A Preacher”

Happy Birthday, President Carter

One of my favorite stories of President Jimmy Carter is when I was having to go cover a press conference at Georgia Southwestern State University. It was one of those nice Spring afternoons and I was glancing out the window because you don’t want to be inside when I heard the doors open and IContinue reading “Happy Birthday, President Carter”
