The all- knowing bartender. It's sort of a magical or even a mystical veil they hold over us. How can they remember all those drinks?  Why does my drink always taste better at the bar?  Why can't I create cocktails like a bartender? Because they have all the tools...

Oh, the holidays.  Family, friends, food and, of course, the drinks. I've found the recipes to some of my favorite booze-fueled holiday drinks. You don't have to be a current or former bartender to make these drinks. In fact, a Grinch only has a couple ingredients. Ye...

Rush and Metallica are both at the top of their worlds, but the two acts almost met head on when approaching Geddy Lee about producing 'Master of Puppets.'

1942 - Harry Chapin was born.  His track Cats In The Cradle was not only a hit for him but a success again for a band called Ugly Kid Joe in the 90's. 1968 - Janis Joplin made her final appearance with Big Brother & the Holding Company. ...

Why would you listen to vinyl? If you like vinyl like I do, it's probably something you've heard before. To the uneducated ear, I get it. To them it doesn't sound any different -- or maybe even worse. But to me, there's nothing like that warm, analog sound. ...

Noted for being one of Metallica's biggest flops, 'Lulu' is still looked upon fondly by James Hetfield, who acknowledges the almost unanimous negative criticism.

Wayne's World. I know you've seen it and probably more than once. My favorite scene is them singing in the car and I think it is for many people. Rollingstone just published the Oral History of 'Wayne's World' Bohemian Rhapsody scene. Did you know that Mike Myers fought for it to be that song in the movie...

Some guys are easy to buy for. Heck, some of them tell you what they want. Man, what a time saver.  For the dude who keeps you guessing, I thought this might come in handy as you're trying to decide what to buy for him. 1. Cabela's - I think anything you walk out of this store with is a win, win...

Oh, new rock. I know what your thinking. I've seen Starset three times and they're more than just a concert, it's a show. Tickets go on sale this Friday. Show isn't until March.  And the tickets are priced right. Just under $38. The Starset Society spreads broad awareness of The Message through music and media...

Are you ready for the holidays? It's only the week of Thanksgiving and I'm already being asked that. No, I'm not read; haven't even started yet. You can park downtown in one of the decks, so you won't have to scrape your windows.  All 10 places listed below are within walking distance except for Al's but he's worth the drive...

I know I have been talking a lot about the Roaddog Holiday Jam and Toy Run, but to me it's a worthy cause and should be talked about. These guys provide 75 percent of the toys that the Salvation Army gives away in our local area. That is a major amount and it's not an easy thing to do...

Black Friday now actually starts on Thanksgiving for some stores. Not all stores support this idea though. Some stores are choosing to be closed all day on Thanksgiving and open for Black Friday -- actually on Friday. The idea is to promote spending more time with family and friends during the holidays, to take a day to reflect on the year and just relax. Men...
