Blogs appear and disappear from the blogosphere all the time. Since I started NOSVC in 2007 and its predecessor ArtMusicLife in 2002 I can tell you one thing – starting and maintaining a blog isn’t easy and isn’t always fun. I know – it looks like all you do is bang on the keyboard a few times and journalistic gold pops up on the screen. That isn’t what happens – it takes a lot of time and effort and unfortunately a lot of thought to do a blog people will like and appreciate. (It takes a lot of time and effort to create a blog people don’t like or appreciate too.)
It is always nice to get an email from someone you know informing you that they are going to take a run at a blog. It is especially nice when it looks like something that may be useful. To that end we’d like to welcome Raleigh Music Listings to the party. Self-described as a “music lover” Joe plans to blog about the local music scene here in Raleigh. His goal is to reach the occasional music lover and help them determine what up and coming group might fit their musical tastes and help them learn about the show before it happens as opposed to what happens so frequently when you hear about a show after the fact. He already has this week up so if you think might be interested in catching a show check him out here or add the feed to your RSS reader here.
Best of luck to you Joe – be patient and keep posting.
Watching this on TV yesterday I thought things had gone horribly wrong when the spear left Chief Osceola’s hand without being thrown. I immediately assumed the worst. Fortunately I don’t have to make a large cursing tirade against the Gator Bowl today. They obviously had no problem with a spear being thrown on the field.
The image above is ultimately how I choose to remember the end of a great career. Bobby Bowden has been a fixture in college football longer than most of the people I know can remember or have even been alive. At the end of the game all the questions were answered and there was a certain element of class to the whole affair that out shined everything that was looking a little tarnished before. Whether anyone really thought it before the game this is perhaps the way all of us would like to go out. Not necessarily on top, not necessarily in our prime and maybe not even when we think is best but taking one last shot that win or lose defines who we are and have always been. A lot of credit to Bobby Bowden for leaving us with that.
Also credit to West Virginia who really came off as a class act. They knew from day one that the sideshow was going to overshadow the main event. From what I saw they handled it in stride and played a great football game.
Way to go Corso!
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM NOSVC.COM!
