Downtown Alive with Live After Five

There are a lot of great things about Baton Rouge. We have amazing food, a diverse culture and we sure know how to party better than anyone around. But when you take all that, ball it up and mix in eclectic music … you get the best free party east of the Mississippi … Live After Five.

Live After Five is one of my favorite things to do in Downtown Baton Rouge. And when you kick off the season with a band like MoJEAUX, there are high hopes for Friday nights!

MoJEAUX is gaining a bit of a cult following. Besides playing weddings, they perform at area festivals and local bars. The group is truly something to see. They can go from playing the “Bunny Hop,” to “Devil Went Down to Georgia.” They give a little soul with “Proud Mary,” then switch it up with a little “Chicken Fried” or “Livin’ on a Prayer.”

The band utilizes every single member of the band, and it pays off because it keeps you jumping and jiving all night long. This is the second time they have opened up the Live After Five concert series, and the Downtown Business Association is smart to keep them coming back.

While I could hear MoJEAUX every week, there are plenty of great concerts coming to Galvez Plaza over the next few weeks. And remember, it’s fun, free and there’s plenty of room. See you out on the Plaza (and out on Third St. after the bands)!

I'm Back! But Where Have I Been?

It feels like it’s been months since I’ve blogged. It’s only been two weeks, but boy have I missed it.

I’ve received a ton of e-mails, tweets and Facebook messages about my brief absence. A lot of you wondering where I went. This blog is fairly new (taking the place of my previous blog). It actually felt great to know so many people look forward to my postings, thoughts and stories.

I kept mum on why I stepped away from Media Mix. I honestly just needed a break and couldn’t keep up. My grandfather was in the hospital over Easter, so I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family. It sucked seeing him in the hospital, partly because he’s always such a strong person. Seeing him so weak and fragile is not an easy thing to deal with.

Thanks to some great friends, more prayers than I can count and his willingness to get back to his garden, he’s now home from the hospital. While that obstacle is over, we are still waiting to find out why he got so sick in the first place. We know he had bronchitis and that put a terrible strain on his lungs. But with PawPaw Sonny, it’s always a domino effect. What affects his lungs, affects his heart. And simply biology will tell you that when your heart hurts, you hurt. On top of the bronchitis, his blood level was critically low.

We’re waiting on the results of a bone marrow exam. That’ll tell us why he’s losing blood. I ask (whatever your religious affiliation) to pray and keep him in your thoughts. It hasn’t been a year since we lost PawPaw Brown, and I know PawPaw Sonny has a lot more years left in him!

You’ll start seeing my normal postings again: the daily Media Mix, the nightly In Case You Missed It and my random ramblings. I’ve been working on a few things during my hiatus that’ll be posted over the next few days as well.

Enjoy … and as always … let me know what you think!

Jennifer Lopez Planning to go "Overboard"

I'm not usually a big fan of remakes, but I'm super excited that Jennifer Lopez (my future ex-wife) is in talks to star in the remake of the 1980's comedy "Overboard."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Will Smith is producing the new version of the film. Adam Cooper and Bill Collage worked on the current script with Leslie Dixon.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell starred in the original comedy in 1987. Garry Marshall directed the movie, which was about a rich, spoiled and snooty woman who falls off her yacht and is convinced she's the wife of a local carpenter. She becomes a housekeeper for his four boys only to fall in love with the entire family.

And don't forget the future Mrs. Daniel Brown (aka J.Lo) hits theaters in April for her romantic comedy "The Back-up Plan."

Infant Left in Oven Overnight, Dad Blames Drugs & Booze

Buckle your seat belts for this one!


A Kentucky dad is in jail for putting his five-week-old son in the oven, leaving him there overnight. (The oven door was open slightly, and the oven was not on.)

Larry Long says he was high on marijuana and drunk on whiskey. He apparently got high at work and went home to share a fifth of whiskey with the baby's mother. According to police reports, Long finished off the bottle as the mom went to bed. When she woke up the next morning, she heard the baby crying ... the cries were coming from the oven.

Sometime that night, Long called a mental health crisis line and told them what he had done. They alerted police. The baby was taken to the hospital, and he was okay.

Long isn't taking responsibility for his actions. Get this: He believes the marijuana he was smoking at work was laced with a hallucinatory.

What the hell?

I just thank God the oven wasn't on and the baby wasn't hurt. Larry Long needs to spend time in rehab and several years in jail. Blaming the pot you're smoking isn't a good enough excuse! How about you lay off the drugs and booze, and actually try taking care of your kid!

His only saving grace is that he did finally realize what he did and called that crisis line. It's just too little, too late. I do hope he gets the help he needs and may one day be a father to this poor baby.

The baby was removed from the home and is now being cared for by family members.

Decoding What the "American Idol" Judges Really Mean

Didn't get it, Yo Dawg, Didn't work for me, I'm a fan of yours ... these are all phrases you'll hear each and every week on "American Idol."

CNN did a great job decoding what these phrases really mean. If you have ever watched "Idol," then you'll get a good laugh!

When Simon says ...
"You didn't do anything different with the song." What he really means is "I am incredibly bored right now. Thank goodness they pay me so much money to sit here and listen to this."

"You are a Broadway singer." What he really means is "At this point, I have absolutely no idea how in the world we would market you if you were to win."

"I didn't love the song, but you sang it very well." What he really means is "That wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated."

When Kara says ...
"You have a great radio voice." What she really means is "It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if you won this competition."

"That was authentic. I felt it" What she really means is "You were able to cover that song without sounding like a bad karaoke rip-off."

"Part of the problem is that you haven't figured out who you want to be as an artist yet" What she really means "You haven't been able to take the extremely confusing critiques we have been giving you and synthesize that into giving us exactly what we want."

When Randy says ...
"I don't know. That just didn't work for me." What he really means is "That was awful, and I know you can do better than that."

"Dawg listen, the song was a little bit too big for you." What he really means is "You don't have that great of a voice to even go there."

"Yo, that was dope!" What he really means is "Yo, that was dope!"

When Ellen says ...
"You are adorable" What she really means is "You might want to start thinking about a career in acting instead of music."

"You have such a great personality!' What she really means is "You are cute, but not as adorable as some of the others so let's focus on some of your better attributes, shall we?"

"You know I am a fan of yours ..." What she really means is "I am about to deliver a comment that should be harsh, but because I am so nice I will completely sugar-coat it."

And while Ryan Seacrest isn't a judge, he's got a bit of code speak in him also.
When Ryan says ...

"Do you agree with what the judges just said?" What he really means is "Give us a juicy, biting quote about the judges, Simon in particular, so I can blow it completely out of proportion."

12-year-old Boy Faces Life in Prison for Murder

Murder is wrong and it doesn't matter the age. But the case of 12-year-old Jordan Brown in Pennsylvania is raising all sorts of ethics questions. At the top of the list, how young is too young to be on trial for murder as an adult?

In almost half the states across the country, children can be prosecuted and tried in adult court. But a majority of homicide cases involving children as young as Jordan are traditionally tried in juvenile courts.

Jordan was a chubby-cheeked fifth-grader, quarterback for a community football league and loved riding bikes and reading Harry Potter books. He's accused of shooting his pregnant step-mom with a 20-gauge shotgun. Police say after the shooting, Jordan boarded the school bus and went about his day as if nothing happened.

I've read a few court documents on this case. Jordan never exhibited any violent streaks, but was reportedly jealous of his dad's new wife. The few documents in the case that have been released (most are sealed because of the possibility this could head to a juvenile court where information is not public), suggest the Jordan was jealous of his step-mom. This is something Jordan's father says is simply not true.

I don't think a 12-year-old should be tried as an adult. I really don't think he knew what he was doing, nor did he know the consequences of his actions. I think back of things I did when I was 12. While I never committed murder, I remember pushing the limits to see what I could get away with. I learned from my mistakes.

At the same time, I wonder if Jordan could snap again one day. If tried in the juvenile courts, he would be free at the age of 21. It'll be interesting to see what comes of this case, and if a judge will decide to send this to the juvenile court system.

Every now and again you'll come across a story that just grabs your attention. It usually happens to me every time I watch "60 Minutes." They just know how to tell stories in a compelling way. But this week a story aired that didn't need storytelling. The story alone was amazing.

It was about a man named Derek Paravicini. He's blind with severe disabilities. He can't do everyday things or even tell his right hand from his left. But what he does with a piano is amazing. It will leave you with chills.

Baton Rouge: Top City for Young Workers

Finally some GREAT news for Baton Rouge!

Portfolio.com studied nearly 70 metropolitan areas across the U.S. looking for qualities that would appeal to workers in the 20s and early 30s. And making the top ten is Baton Rouge!

The study looked at places with strong growth rates, moderate costs of living and areas with the most educated young adults employed.

Portfolio.com called Baton Rouge a "success story" of Hurricane Katrina, adding that the Red Stick "boasts a high concentration of young adults and a strong rate of income growth."

Not surprisingly, Austin, TX came in at number one. But I'm proud of Baton Rouge for making the top ten list for something positive!! I guess the only thing better would be making Letterman's Top Ten list ... I'll write a letter to WorldWide Pants!

Oscar interrupter's tall tale?

It's the Oscar moment that everyone is talking about ... not the fact that "The Hurt Locker" won best picture ... but the one part of the show (one of the boring parts ... that quickly got interesting) when a winner for best documentary short was basically pushed off stage by (what appeared to be) an over zealous woman (co-producer/co-winner of the documentary).

The whole incident is being compared to the Kayne West/Taylor Swift debacle at the MTV Video Music Awards. Roger Ross Williams was about 10 seconds into his acceptance speech when Elinor Burkett edged him from the microphone.

(Burkett: "Just like a man, never lets a woman talk ... Isn't that just the classic thing?")

Burkett claims Williams raced to the stage and edged her out of the way. New Oscar rules tried to keep only one person from speaking (despite multiple winner for categories) and limited the speeches to 45 seconds. Burkett says she just wanted to make sure she got her two-cents in.

While Burkett was sharing her story with Joy, Williams swung by "Larry King Live" to talk about the incident. He called it "shocking." Larry King (being the kind and generous soul he is) gave Williams 80 seconds to complete his acceptance speech.

Newsflash: Williams and Burkett are no longer friends.

Porn for Bibles? Sad but True.

It's called the Smut for Smut campaign. Atheist students at the University of Texas at San Antonio launched a porn for bibles trade ... giving any student (over 18, of course) porn if they trade in religious materials.

Leaders of the campaign say porn is no worse than what's written in the bible and other religious texts. The good thing here is that most students at UTSA don't agree with campaign.

This is disturbing on so many different levels. Whether you are a Christian or not ... it's hard to believe that this is true. And while I think this is despicable, two wrongs don't make a right!
