What Ever Happened to Jody Jenkins?

It has now been one month since I resumed blogging, and I can say that all is well. Thus far, I have had no trolls (yet), have received links from bigger bloggers, and have acquired a small but solid group of regular commenters. I have also come to enjoy the freedom that comes with total editorial control and having the freedom to write about any topic I please, whenever I please. And of course, I thank all who read my writings.

As for the title of this entry, the reference is to a local country singer named Jody Jenkins. In 1999 and 2001, Jenkins released two of the best country albums I have ever listened to: Dancin' the Night Away and Under a Texas Moon, but I don't know what's become of him since. I was listening to his music on Saturday afternoon. It is too bad that Jenkins was never signed to a major Nashville label, but nowadays many of the record company executives up there wouldn't know good country music if it smacked them on the backside. Quite a shame, really.

Speaking of great entertainers, here is one of my favorite scenes from Clint Eastwood's fourth Dirty Harry film, Sudden Impact:

On Friday, Moxie posted an entry about Obama's latest nutty preacher to come out of the woodwork, Father Michael Pfleger. Go read it.

Yesterday I heard someone compare Pfleger to white rapper Eminem, but I think the more apt comparison would be to Vanilla Ice.

Werd to yo mutha!
