It was a bleak and damp Wednesday morning in early February when I connected by phone with Wesley Eure (pronounced “your,”) who grew up in Hattiesburg and went on to become an actor, singer and wearer of many other hats.
A FOOD WITH FRIENDS FIRST
Brittany wasn’t able to join us for our burger brunch, so we had Kyle Baughman join us again as our stand-in. Kyle is the man behind Hub City Stained Glass, and he also plays a mean mandolin.
I am a cherry picker, too. I can dust an album and cull all the best tracks in as little as two listens. However, this is a new decade and requires a new attitude toward the plethora of music that is waiting out there for each and every one of us.
Everyone loves a good comeback story. With that being said, I feel like it’s sufficient to say move over, florals and pastels. There are new spring trends in town. From the re-emergence of the disco collar, to neon suits, to crochet – and a couple more in-between – there’s a trend every fashionista can jump on board with this season.
Why don’t you ditch the hero and get with a zero?
To describe “Earth Girls Are Easy” is difficult. In this out-of-this-world 80s musical comedy adventure that revels in its own 80s-era So-Cal chic, it’s part MTV generation 80s fluff piece, part romantic comedy, all parts pinks and light blues and yellows.
It’s the type of unlikely love story that Hollywood screenwriters spend their entire careers dreaming about..
After all, they were a beautiful young couple straight out of Central Casting.
Tammy and the T-Rex is one of those movies that you, a movie-renter in 1993, would see at your local Blockbuster, take one look at the box art, and immediately rent it because you knew it was going to be absolutely horrendous.
The Squid and The Whale is a Hattiesburg band like no other. None since. None before.
On their new album Advanced Directives, the band demonstrates maturity but not in that assured way. Instead, the seven songs pull the band in different directions, sometimes all at once.
Hosiery. Some folks hear that word and immediately think of their grandmother in her Sunday best with some sort of casserole dish and Bible in tow, headed to the church potluck. Fortunately, that’s not always the case. Anyone – at any age can, and should – accessorize with hosiery.
If there's a silver lining to all this coronavirus crap … don't ask ME what it is!
