https://crutch.me/2013/03/22/walking
Book Review I Walked the Line: My Life with Johnny Cash. March 22, 2013. August 4, 2013. The biographical film produced by Johnny and June Cash’s son, John Carter Cash. It’s why I was interested in reading this book. No matter how amazing Johnny and June’s love was, it didn’t come without casualties. So I bought an overpriced latte and plopped my butt on a chair to try and get Vivian’s side of the story…. Exposing these letters was almost a plea to his fans saying, “See? I was his one true love! But it g...

Tenacious D in Pittsburgh Guest Feature by j9. March 17, 2013. March 16, 2013. Last Tuesday night I attended a performance by the rock/humor duo of Jack Black (yes, the actor) and Kyle Gass, who are known collectively as Tenacious D. It was the first time I’ve seen them in concert, and I was very excited to go, because I’ve been a fan ever since their first singles ‘Wonderboy’ and ‘Tribute’ hit the radio in the early 2000s. Tribute – Tenacious D. What were we waiting for? After Sasquatch was done and gon...

Double Defeat In South Bend How Rudy Ruined An Already Bad Weekend. January 26, 2014. June 29, 2016. When speaking of sports, The University of Notre Dame. Is a polarizing place. Most people who follow college athletics either love the school or hate it with a passion. I was one of the few who didn’t care too much one way or the other, until something happened in 1992 to change my thinking. I’m going to assume that you are familiar with. The 1993 movie directed by David Anspaugh (maker of. Before I go fu...

Around in my tryptophan-buzzed brain whilst celebrating everything that screams imperialist American – to instead take sincere moment of gratitude for the work of Helsing Von Frod. A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on . 8221; I asked.

Don’t Try This At Home. March 8, 2013. March 10, 2013. What better way to start the weekend than letting your brain unwind from the stresses of the week than watching some guys hurt themselves? With that in mind, the statement that’s often attached to reality television is, I can’t believe people make millions to do that. Well, they do. And whether you agree with it or not, society demands it. While Jackass has been a long-standing staple for popularizing viral nonsense, they didn’t start it; they just p...

Country’s Kissing Cousins. January 30, 2014. June 30, 2016. Rock music draws deep from both R&B and Country and because of its unique ability to straddle over this great genre divide, it’s only natural that Rock and Country are like peas and carrots when it comes to cover songs. Let’s take a look at a few interesting ones with an open mind and see what happens. The Oak Ridge Boys cover The White Stripes. How this for a change in instrumentation: the famous harmonious vocals of the Oak Ridge Boys. And tho...

The Stars And Stripes Forever. One Sousa march has surpassed them all. Its permanent place in the pantheon of human culture has been guaranteed by the sheer luck of being chosen as the theme for an offbeat British television series that ran on BBC1 on Sunday nights at the end of the 1960s and early 1970s. The show consisted of set...
