Monday night marked the return of the one television show my wife and I can always agree on: “The Bachelor.”
I first saw Lynyrd Skynyrd perform back in 1973 — thirty-nine long years ago. They were the unknown and improbable opening act for the Who; the British band was touring to promote their latest masterwork “Quadrophenia,” an epic “rock opera” even more artistically ambitious than their earlier LP magnum opus “Tommy.”
What kid doesn’t want to emulate their sports heroes?
Country wonder Kenny Rogers said Saturday at the end of his concert at the University of Mary Washington, that he’s been hiding behind a curtain for 30 years when it’s time for the encore.
There’s a reason Kenny Rogers has been in the music business for so long.
“It was crazy,” Seaman Mark Copeland said as he chuckled at the memory. “It was a lot like boot camp, just a blur of people yelling and a lot of hurry up and wait.”
I’m a geek. There’s just no way around it.
STAFFORD — Frisco Jones, Halfpint and Steve Urkel plan to give dancing their best shot as the latest season of Dancing with the Stars kicks off.

Should I sweat like a mule or smell like a woman? A man on the road has to make tough decisions.
Dear Emily: I’m kind of “old school,” and like to rent DVDs from a video store every week, opposed to downloading rentals over the Internet or using pay per view. I like the experience of walking around the store and looking at new and old movies. The problem is, there are a very few stores in my neighborhood, and the one closest to my house has an employee who makes me uncomfortable. He flirts with me constantly, despite my explaining I am not interested. He is bordering on harassing, and making me not want to go in there. – Cinema Setback
