The Mt. Juliet Chronicle has been strangely silent on the issue of the gun enthusiast minister. 2 weeks now and they still haven’t addressed the story which was big enough to make the Tennessean and AP wires. Methinks their editor might have ties to the church and doesn’t like reporting negative stories about it.
Then there’s the absence of any official word on the Green Hill website ( greenhillchurch.com ). Basically nothing has been changed on it. What a great tool the internet could be, if it was updated once and a while. Instead of fielding questions about how the church feels about their minister, they could put some statement up on the website which would occupy the media’s attention for a while.
I put Soul Asylum’s CD, “Let Your Dim Light Shine,” in my CD Rom drive. Winamp’s automatic album online query system says that it is a Goldfinger album. Never heard of them. Apparently the time stamps on the tracks match the Goldfinger album.
I must really be stuck in the mid-90s musicwise. Soul Asylum, Gin Blossoms, Wallflowers, Better than Ezra, Oasis…they’re all favorite bands of mine.
I’m staring at the July 2002 edition of the Christian Chronicle. Self described as “an international newspaper for members of churches of Christ.” The caption of a clothing giveaway picture says “Give it away, give it away, give it away now.” I wonder if the editors realize they’re quoting the band, Red Hot Chili Peppers. I guess that song has become so mainstream that it’s lyrics have moved into religious publications. From watching VH1’s Behind the Music, I’d imagine this publication would not want to endorse a band like this with crazy antics.
Appalachian Bible college is fighting to change its 666 phone number prefix.
Newsflash. The Tennessee Sports Fan has stopped selling stuff online. You’ll have to go to the store in person to buy any of their merchandise. This is a far cry from the dot com boom of the late 1990s.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is suing for $20 million over a thumbnail sized picture used in an auto advertisement. The ad violated Arnold’s “self-imposed ban on appearing in commercials in the United States.” Apparently Arnold doesn’t have any ban on appearing in overseas advertisements. I personally have an advertisement of him promoting a personal tape recorder. I picked it up in China. The ad is in Chinese, but clearly shows Arnold on the front of it. Hmmm….I wonder if it is worth anything since Arnold doesn’t do ads in the USA?
More pics are up on Todd’s webpage. Done by me thankyouverymuch. Todd seemed enthusiastic about it. Let me emphasize those are cream soda bottles!!!! Not what you were thinking….
