HOMETOWN PRIDE

Sometimes you go your whole life thinking you grew up in a pleasant, if unremarkable, suburb. You feel a sense of loyalty, you would defend your hometown’s honor if, in some strange scenario, it was attacked. But in your heart you know that there’s nothing particularly special about the place.

FREE MUSIC?

As a renowned marketing guru and media futurist, there are certain questions that I get from clients over and over again. From time to time on this blog I’ll address one of those questions, for the benefit of all.
Q: My band has a new album, available for 100% free digital download. Any hot [...]

MARCH MADNESS!

*Not to harp on Coach K’s “leadership” problems, but… would anybody be surprised if the Anderson boys and their fellow Falcons over in Eastern Kentucky had the last laugh this year?
*Can UCLA repeat?  Maybe somebody should ask sophomore revelation Devon “The Hammer” Hammer, and the practice squad he left behind in Indiana…
*Underdogs?  How about the [...]
