This is Sinead Lohan. I first heard her at Lilith Fair in 1999. She was on a small stage and I stopped for a few moments. I have absolutely no idea what happened for the next 7-9 minutes. She played “No Mermaid” and “Whatever It Takes.” I just stood there transfixed. Then I bought her […]
Not a very exciting headline, I admit. I'm a little tired this morning, but I've been meaning to blog about this exhibit for a few days so I need to get down to it. Teenie Harris. You may have heard of him — photographer, documentarian of life in the Hill District for nearly 30 years […]

Saturday night, I picked up the music issue of Curve. Most of the featured artists were completely new to me, even Ledcat only knew a handful. So off to You Tube … Check these two aht … Toshi Reagon isn't new to the music scene (Ledcat even had actual cassette tapes!). Here's something really groovy. […]
My favorite Christian-flavored homobigot, Diane Gramley of the PA American Family Association, had a little missive published last week in the North section of the Post-Gazette. This time she rallies to the defense of the poor Boy Scouts being persecuted for their own homobigotry. I'd post a quote but it is really rather a rambly […]
