The controversy continues over Dylan Mulvaney and her Bud Light can, and goobers like Kid Rock who are buying the beer just so they can shoot their crossbows at it or whatever on dumb TikTok videos. Bud Light’s executives issued a somewhat apology about the whole thing this week, but, as I said in my previous column, the whole thing was a dumb idea from the start. Even if Dylan Mulvaney weren’t a trans woman, her style and audience is pretty far from the down-the-middle crowd that actually drinks Bud Light. No woman who dresses like Audrey Hepburn and stars in Broadway shows is going... Read More

Every week, we provide you with a huge calendar of activities that will take place in the Quad-Cities area over the coming week. Because we love you. And because it’s our job … to love you. (The preceding sentence was written in tribute to the late Luther Vandross.) However, some calendar items we receive don’t make the list. Some are out of the geographic area. Some aren’t really entertainment. And some … well, some just don’t seem to fit in, if you know what I mean. For those of you who don’t know what I mean, I thought I’d provide a few examples.... Read More

So, welcome back to bizarro world. As we look at China, Russia, Saudi Arabia decoupling from the dollar as a central currency, as we struggle with the rising cost of everything, and as we look at a looming recession, the latest distraction mechanism to be spit forward by the elitist mainstream media is a beer fart about a rainbow booze can. For those who have lives and don’t have to report on this stuff for a living, here’s the gist: Dylan Mulvaney is a fringe figure in pop culture right now who’s gained popularity with Gen Z over the past year. When she was a he, he was... Read More

The Lord may work in mysterious ways, but the the way the devil works is obviously just plain strange.  For example, God has been known to communicate to humans through burning bushes, the angel Gabriel and his son, Jesus Christ.  And beezlebub?  Well, apparently, he’s been sending us messages through the song “I Adore (Mi Amor).” That’s right. Step aside Lil Nas X. Make way, Sam Smith. Give it up to the OG Satanic Illuminati pop stars — Color Me Badd. Yes,  Bob Larson, an alleged exorcist, claims that one of the people he exorcised was Kevin Thornton — a... Read More

I laughed a lot during the wonderfully cast “Grumpy Old Men,” running through May 6 at Rock Island’s Circa ’21 Dinner Playhouse, and I would bet you will too. Much like the movie it’s based upon, its charm is heavily dependent upon its cast. And much like the film starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon as the battlin’ oldsters duking it out over Ann Margret, Circa brings out the comedy heavy hitters with Brad Hauskins, Tom Walljasper and, particularly, Kim Vanderginst, in those three roles. That trio is likewise surrounded by a terrific comedic ensemble (most... Read More

It’s the latest rumor ripping around the TikTok space and beyond — strange weather patterns and storms, particularly tornadoes, are all part of a front to disguise alien invasions which are happening right now, and are going to become more and more prominent and in-our-face as the year goes on! Of course it sounds like total BS, but, hey, what doesn’t on TikTok anymore? At least it’s entertaining, and we could all use some of that these days, with all the bad news out there and the fact that one trip to the grocery store costs several thousand dollars. In all seriousness,... Read More

They’re baaaaaack. That’s right, the time travelers of TikTok have returned, with more predictions about the future that will probably turn out to be B.S., but are goofy and interesting to read about anyway. The TikTok time travelers are always from different years in the future, but the one thing they have in common is that they believe making TikTok videos is the best way to communicate with the people of our time. Apparently they consider the key decision-makers of our time to be teenagers and people in their early twenties, and middle-aged goofballs like me who are still amused... Read More
