I'm just hours away from my Delbert McClinton reunion in Frankfort, of all places, and I'm pretty excited about seeing Delbert at 75. I was introduced to "Giving it Up for our Love" on Natural 97 Radio in the Orange Palace at the Pike House in Bowling Green with Mark Hebert. I've seen him live a bunch of times since, and had my only "Cruise" experience with him.
Meanwhile, there's plenty to discuss here, starting with
The Sighs (of relief) in Texas Are Upon Us: What looked a week ago like another long-lasting sex scandal at U of L went away very quietly Thursday when Jonathan Blue's attorney announced her client had settled his divorce case with his wife Tracy, negating the need for Charlie Strong to come and testify

Bevin and his cohort of misogynist legislators, mostly male, are demanding more sadistic actions against women than ever before, with laws coming out of Frankfort that are abusive, discriminatory and just plain mean toward Kentucky women.
