Music guy, Guitar guy, Family guy, Entrepreneur guy. I talk too much about sports.
This is why Bruce is one of the greatest music artists of the past century.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Bob Weir was the consummate musician. Always exploring and looking for the next great jam. And by all accounts an excellent human.

There will be murder charges but what are the odds they never deliver or identify the shooter to the police? I’d say close to 100%.

The Vikings call some of the worst plays in the NFL. Everyone else can convert 4th and 1 with ease.

I don't think the current administration has any idea how bad the backlash is going to be when all of these people get their insurance bills for 2026. Sending people $2,000 once will not help at all when their monthly bill is that much.

I'm not sure why the MN Twins even bother announcing who they've been signing right now. Who's going to get excited about a couple of .150 hitters.

I've been saying this for a few years. All the major sports have gotten into bed with casinos and gambling companies. We will continue to see more stuff like this happening. You blur the lines and some guys will make mistakes like this.

Went to Adam Sandler last night. I get that most of the people opening for him will occasionally try out some new material. If that's what Sarah Sherman was doing she needs to drop every joke she did. It was not good.

I've never been a big Rocco Baldelli guy (see my hatred of the contact play). But the front office gave him a bad team to start the year and that's the season they ended up with. Falvey has had 8 years running this team. He should go too.

You can’t blame Wentz for how bad this game is going. Pittsburgh is getting to him at will.

It's funny how autism suddenly is tied to a drug that wasn't released until 1955. When it was defined over 100 years ago by doctors and has clearly been around for centuries.
This is another IQ test. If you actually believe this BS you are a moron.

If I'm betting on this Kaprizov wants out of here. We haven't done much to build a team around this guy and I wouldn't blame him for wanting to go somewhere he might be able to win.

A report Wednesday said the Wild offered an eight-year, $128 million extension to Kirill Kaprizov that was rejected. Is this just part of negotiations, or are the two sides headed for a crossroads? Mi...

I saw them in November 1981 at Met Center. My first concert.
On this date: September 11, 1980, 45 years ago today. AC-DC’s first Twin Cities area performance.
Twin Cities reference on the AC-DC Facebook page today. Incredibly, the band never performed in the Twin Cities during the Bon Scott era! They did perform in smaller communities in a few neighboring states prior to the Brian Johnson era, including Madison, Dubuque, Des Moines, & Sioux Falls.
