3 days ago Kick your Memorial Day weekend off right this Friday night with some live music! Anytime that Sedalia or the surrounding area brings in bands or any type of live music, I'm always excited to go and support it. This Friday, Bottom's Up will feature three bands: Not A Planet, Austin Knob Band, and Blake Gardener and the Farmers. Doors will open at 7 p.m. with the opening act starting at 8.

4 days ago On Sunday night, I had a moment where I actually thought I was an old man. As I sat watching the Billboard Music Awards, I remember mumbling multiple old man phrases to myself. Things like, "This music is garbage," "Does anyone really like this?" and "They're clearly lip syncing their performance."
Quickly after the Billboard Music Awards ended, I came to the conclusion that I'm not an old man, new music just really is that bad. I ended up having a heated argument with a few people about what generation had the best music. I made a case for the '60s, but I want you to tell me which decade had the best music.

The mission of these riders is to promote healing among all veterans and their family and friends and to call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War and those Missing In Action. In addition, the motorcycle ride is to honor the memory of those Killed in Action from all wars and to show support of those currently serving.
