April 12, 2013 Your parents, grandparents and their ancestors made sacrifices for you. They built roads, bridges and community centers. Now certain elements of our society are no longer willing to sacrifice for the common good. You need to realize that this is going to have a direct impact on your kids and their grand-kids.

April 11, 2013 It amazes me how people will see something shiny and take it without asking about the repercussions. I wrote a quick down and dirty article against a privately funded performing arts center, and I still feel like some people either don’t get it, or there are people out there who would like for you to not get it. I’d like to elaborate a bit further. More after the jump.
March 8, 2013 Who didn’t see this coming? The Mayor saw it coming. A lot of Lubbockites saw it coming. Even then, the City council (I wish I could replace that “C” with a “Sh”) voted a ridiculous “ban” on synthetic marijuana. Now comes word that one Smoke Shop owner, who happens to be a lawyer is refusing to pull the stuff from the shelves. More after the jump.
March 5, 2013 When I heard you could buy a brick to support the J.I. Allison house, my first thought was "awesome, who do I get to throw it at?". I personally just can't get behind this project. The whole towns efforts to recognize Buddy Holly & The Crickets came much too late to mean anything. More after the jump.
February 27, 2013 I have been noticing people posting a lot of negative comments about living in Lubbock about how we always get the same old shows and there isn't anything to do, blah blah blah. As February comes to an end, I am reminded that we still have 10 months left in the year and a whole bunch of concerts finally coming to Lubbock.
February 21, 2013 It was mass chaos this morning as Lubbock drivers responded to some slight weather changes by driving like morons. The RockShow was hit with a ton of reports this morning varying from a seven car pileup on I-27 to accidents on the Loop & Marsha Sharp, a rollover onto the golf course and 98th and Quaker, and other mishaps elsewhere across the Hub.

February 15, 2013 The city council (without the mayor) has officially decided to waste our time and tax dollars on an almost unenforceable ban on synthetic marijuana. Those who sell the substance already have other formula's ready to go. Even the council acknowledged that this product is a moving target and one councilperson actually suggested they review the ban (to included variations) every six months to a year. *Facepalm*

I've put my heart and soul into Lubbock. It therefore pains me to tell you I gave a kid some advice you might not approve of. I told him to leave it. More after the jump.
December 10, 2012 Hardball host Chris Mathews calls out the craziest conspiracy theories of the year and unfortunately one hits home. Yes, Lubbock get's a prime place in the nuttiness thanks to the Judge in front of the tanks, Tom Head
October 18, 2012 One year ago today, Lubbock was hit with a major weather event known as a Haboob. Those of you that were here probably remember how the sky suddenly became dark and the entire city went dark as the wall of dirty and high winds literally blew into the city.
September 7, 2012 I talked about this on air, but I think it bears repeating here. Lubbock is a pretty good place to live, but guess what: LUBBOCK IS PART OF THE WORLD. Yes, Lubbock is in Texas and Texas is in the United States and the United States is part of the world. You wouldn't know this if you read Lubbock Online. More after the jump.
June 13, 2012 Have you ever driven in a big city like Dallas or Houston or some other city that makes Lubbock seem small?If you have chances are you noticed several major differences in the way people drive here and where ever you were.
