YAAAAWWWWNNNNN…stretcccccchhhhhhhhh I’m not sure why I woke up thinking about the movie Roadhouse. There is obviously something SERIOUSLY WRONG with me. But, sure enough, here I am taking this golden opportunity to talk about ANYTHING OTHER THAN ROADHOUSE to talk about Roadhouse. Maybe I don’t remember correctly, but it seems that Roadhouse was in...
PD nails this preview of the TN-09 fight, which he calls the Row on the River. So the 9th congressional race is already starting to warm-up. Let me be the first to say I’m really surprised Herenton is actually running. I thought he was just politicizing the grand jury process. I got a feeling...
A column this weekend from Otis Sanford from the Commercial Appeal has Richard at Mediaverse thinking about that former Memphis mayor Willie Herenton and the CA really have no love for each other.

Former Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton opened his Congressional campaign Saturday afternoon to a crowd of around 300 in East Memphis. A core group of about half the crowd crowded around the stage...
The sports columnist-turned weekly metro columnist reduce the Herenton campaign to its component part (s). He has a picture. Just a picture. Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream. Willie Herenton has a picture. He displayed it Thursday morning, during his appearance on WREG-TV Channel 3 “Live at 9.” “I want to talk about...

First of all, I want to echo Trace’s sentiments about our appearance on KWAM 990 yesterday morning. It was a good conversation, and I hope we have the opportunity to do it again.
