Of all the forms of art, isn’t music the one where you develop the closest bond with the artist themselves? It’s been a rough couple of weeks for fans of Classic Rock–with the deaths of Lemmy KIllmister of Motorhead, David Bowie and then yesterday Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Our “Greatest Hits” station down the…… READ MORE

How To Ruin Something That Could Have Been Great
I feel bad about hyping the NFL Network’s broadcast of Super Bowl I on Friday night. It really sounded like it was going to be something great–a replay of the “lost broadcast” of the first AFL-NFL Championship game–which had “never been seen since the day of the game” was finally going to be presented in…… READ MORE
Dinosaurs That Can Actually Read, Write and Add
If you are over the age of 35, your educational experiences were probably the same as mine: days spent on rows of uncomfortable wooden or plastic chairs behind fake wood-topped desks, endless recitation and memorization of facts and figures, lugging around hard-covered textbooks with page after page of black print and few if any pictures along…… READ MORE
Never Get Too Attached
As much as I enjoy needling Packers fans for their blind and usually over-the-top devotion to the franchise, I appreciate the fact that they will never have to worry about their team packing up and leaving town. Those closets full of Packers t-shirts, Packers sweatshirts, Packers jackets, Packers hats, Packers stocking caps, Packers Zubaz pants,…… READ MORE
The Kids are Alright
Maybe today’s kids aren’t as hopeless as we adults think. The response to the WIAA’s demand that schools crackdown on such offensive chants as “air ball” and “start the bus” have drawn immediate–and creative–backlash from those for whom the games are actually played. A scan of social media shows Tuesday night games across the…… READ MORE

BernieBall
I’m assuming that no supporters of Bernie Sanders are playing the PowerBall Lottery this month. Winning $1.4-BILLION won’t just make you a member of the hated 1%, it will put you into the category of the especially-vile .1%. I am also yet to see anyone on social media post that they hope they win PowerBall…… READ MORE
This is Our Game!!
A star basketball player from Hilbert is finding out the hard way that you don’t challenge adults’ ways of thinking. April Gehl is suspended for the Wolves next five basketball game for taking the WIAA to task for their concerns about “sportsmanship” through Twitter. During the holidays, the WIAA sent out emails to all athletic…… READ MORE
A Point of Concern
I’m a bit concerned about our new Police Chief, Dean Smith. A pattern of ducking the media is already developing–and he’s officially been the chief for less than a week. You may recall that when the City had narrowed the field of finalists for Chief to four, they were brought back to Oshkosh for a…… READ MORE
The Real Jackpot
As you can imagine, much of the talk around the Radio Ranch this week has been about “what would you do if you won the Powerball?” My stock answer for years now has been to purchase a first class ticket on the next flight to Maui, immediately buy a house in the secure section of…… READ MORE
