Come raise your hand for A Band Named June, Saturday, June 24, at Nashville’s Cannery Ballroom, a very nice room. In case you haven’t heard, it’s the Nashville-area finals for the latest installment of Emergenza, the worldwide battle of the bands that might reward a band for just showing up.
While there are some great groups playing, The Murfreesboro Pulse, after painstaking deliberation, endorses A Band Named June for the presidency, or whatever it is we’re supposed to do.
Of course, there’s a show of exponentially bigger proportions before then in Middle Tennessee, that’s right, the fifth-annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, just a half hour from Murfreesboro, on a non-Bonnaroo weekend.
The Captain’s tips for packing light, but staying comfortable at the outdoor conglomeration of almost overly-positive energy: at least a gallon of water per day, Gold Bond Medicated Powder, strap-on sandals, Pop-Tarts and a drum. All else is unnecessary, including shirts and soap.
If you’re not attending don’t worry, The Legend will hold down the fort here and provide some danceable tunes as Frontman and Happy Birthday Amy welcome justinbailey on Friday.
It seems I’ve been paying a bit too much attention to the happenings in Murfreesboro and ignoring the national political scene lately.
As far as I knew, the U.S. government’s mission in the Middle East was accomplished, I mean giant banners and a ceremony on an aircraft carrier don’t lie folks.
Official Pulse recommendation for Father’s Day gifts: video games based on one of the summer blockbusters?Mission Impossible, Over the Hedge, The Da Vinci Code or X-Men: The Last Stand to name a few. Remember, the weekend after that is Editor’s Day, a lesser-known, but equally important holiday.
After seeing a bumper sticker claiming “If you aren’t outraged, you’re not paying attention” the other day, I thought maybe I should pay a bit more attention. Sure enough, unless the mission had to do with death, destruction and chaos, the mission doesn’t seem to be accomplished at all.
But who am I to raise my voice. If you ask me, the press should just shut up and let the White House control the information. Luckily, most of the news organizations on TV seem to agree.
If you have any information on this situation, please get it to me.
Peace,
Bracken Mayo, Editor in Chief
