Jack White at a more successful concert in London.

You never know what you’re going to get with Jack White, it seems.  Touring with two different bands, playing songs from a variety of his bands throughout his career, the sheer bulk and oddity of his output, the way he scuffled with the US Air Force… While off promoting his new solo album Blunderbuss, Jack White had an incident in New York City involving his temper.  While on stage at the prestigious Radio City Music Hall, the fiery former White Stripes singer got into it with a fan using a cell phone to record video, lit into the crowd for their lack of enthusiasm, then stormed off stage.  Jack White played only 45 minutes before ending a New York concert, leaving angry fans in his wake.

“Jesus Christ, is this an NPR convention?” spat White between songs at one point.

Apparently, NPR conventions get pretty angry.  After White thanked the crowd and left the stage and his roadies came out to clear equipment, angry fans started booing, yelling, and even kicked off a mini riot when they flooded out into the streets and attacked two parked tour buses.  Other fans flocked to the merchandise table to return all the stuff bought before the show in a furious frenzy.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
