Last week we discussed The Beatles and the fanaticism surrounding them and their music. Today, we turn our attention to another musical icon: Elvis Presley. He is apparently a big deal. His impact on music is incredible and so on and so forth; whatever – I don't get it. I've never seen the appeal in his music. Of course, this is just a lowly film columnist's opinion, and those who love him seem to really love him. And good for them.
Local author, Andrew V. McNeill, presents his debut novel at Carmichael’s Bookstore [Books]
In the world of the idyllic and quintessential American Small Town, the congenial façade of sweet tea and rocking chairs make all kinds of family friendly promises about life in the quiet parts of the country. The culture of wholesome, Midwestern living has empowered many a commercial with the means to sell everything from scented candles to fried chicken; depictions of The Simple Life are like a good tummy rub for the busy, American psyche. But for those of us who have erstwhile called a small Anywhere, USA our home, the dark side beyond the popular façade of kitsch and pi
Author Keven McQueen uncovers Louisville’s darker side at Carmichael’s [Books]
While there are perhaps few people who will openly admit it, everyone does love a good intrigue. The human animal has a certain natural propensity for mischief-making and an even healthier appetite for the juiciest morsels of scandal. Have you seen the news recently? A high definition smorgasbord of gossiping tidbits gussied up as journalism makes a nice parade on the American television circuit – and we love it. And such proclivities towards tittle-tattle, danger and scheme span generations – even, yes, in the sweet and sunny past of Louisville&rsqu

Editor Dan Gediman presents reflections of motherhood at Carmichael’s [Books]
Motherhood is a complicated subject. Often riddled with sitcom stereotypes or empowered with empty platitudes, the Great Mystery of Life gets gift-wrapped this weekend for 24 hours of bite-sized Hallmark bliss. And while I will admittedly accept with gratitude a token of Mother’s Day thanks, my thoughts on the concept of parenthood run deeper than any greeting card could print – and use more expletives than would be acceptable for mass consumption. While words may never fully capture the dual nature of Motherhood’s overwhelming love and pain relation

Kentucky Derby post draw
Start date:
End date:
On Wednesday, May 2, at Churchhill Downs the post position draw will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. ET and be able to be veiwed NBC Sports Network.
The majority of horses that have won the Kentucky Derby had the inside track. Upon visiting the derby's website, you can see which post positions have had the best luck.
The post positions that have succeed the most are No. 1, No. 4, No. 5, No. 8 and No. 10. After the 10th spot, the number of wins is a significant drop off.
Last year's Kentucky Derby winner came from post position No. 16, so of course it isn't impossible to win from out there, but it is much harder.
Keep an eye on which positions the top horses, such as Union Rags, Creative Cause and Bodemeister, end up being placed at. Churchill Downs
Evolution fight league “First Blood” [sports]
It was quite and experience as the the fighters were being introduced. The heavens opened and the hail came down. The roof of the venue is tin so you could only imagine what it sounded like. The crowd roared only to be muffed out by boulders falling from the sky. Needless to say it was the best introduction that any fighter could possibly ask for.
