Andy Murray's mom vs. Yoko Ono

Can't we all just get along?

Of course the Grantland writer is completely wrong to declare Judy Murray the winner.   There's no victory in using your own density to taunt an artist.

Alley Pat radio DJ

Back when Atlanta was on AM in the 70's the main black station for me was WAOK.  I think there was one other one but WAOK had Alley Pat who told you EVERYTHING going on downtown Atlanta.   And I mean EVERYTHING.   Like what that big red woman on the produce stand on Auburn Avenue said.

So go here if you want a podcast of some of his talk and music and advertisements.  The ads are good.  "Do you sell Hamburger Helper over there?"

Worth a listen when Alley Pat talks about bailing Hosea Williams out of jail after a civil rights protest.  (Alley Pat was a bail bondsman too.)

Whitehouse.gov student film festival

Next time I'm looking for movies to watch, I'm visiting here:.

Nah.  I visited.  Just some student shorts about technology for students.   Too bad.  I was hoping for some neat shorts.

I'd delete the post but I like this picture.
