Abbey Road On The River review [Louisville newbie]

I went for the Magic Hat Tour, not the Magic Mystery Tour.

As a previous post described, I attended Abbey Road on the River this past Friday.  After all the hoopla about the event, I was surprised that it wasn't crowded at all.  I took my mom with me and we were both very pleasantly surprised by the sponsorship; Magic Hat Brewing Company from Burlington, VT. Being from the east coast, Magic Hat #9 is a staple in our fridge at all times.

Memorial Day musical roundup - or your alternatives to glorified Beatles karaoke [Music]

Maybe it's all about nostalgia for the era. Gosh, wasn't it great when a miscegenation laws were still on the books in some states and girls deserved sexual harassment for being the kind of trollop who worked outside the home in the first place.
