Hawthorne Heights merits respect

·

This week, Dayton, Ohio’s Hawthorne Heights will release a new album. Chances are the album, “Fragile Future,” will be mediocre pop/rock at best that won’t raise much fuss except for the Hot Topic set, and even those fans might be long gone. The band has fallen hard and fast since late 2005 and early 2006, when they were at the forefront of the scene.



Comedian Etta May performs Jan. 22 at Bear’s Place.  Her act was part of Bear’s Comedy Caravan 25th anniversay celebration.

·

The image of a drug induced man with a cigarette holder and a shaved head is how many people remember Hunter S. Thompson, said William McKeen, University of Florida Journalism Professor and author of the recently published “Outlaw Journalist: The Life and Times of Hunter S. Thompson.”

An ode to the elephant ear

Generally speaking, when I spend $20 on a meal, I expect it to involve a lovely juicy steak, or perhaps some kind of seafood fare not native to anywhere near Indiana.
