Bruce Kulick Wouldn’t Have Rejoined Kiss as the Spaceman
Bruce Kulick reflected on his departure from Kiss in a new Guitar World interview and said he was fine with not being invited back into the fold in the early 2000s, as the conditions of his return would have invalidated his tenure with the band. Kulick played in Kiss from...
Keep Your Hands Off Bird Nests in Texas, There Are Consequences
During the spring and summer time in East Texas, we like to get outside and start some projects to improve the yard around our house. It could be as simple as planting a new flower bed to as complex as cutting down some dead or unwanted trees. One thing you might notice in a tree you're trimming, or even the bushes around your house, is a bird's nest with three to four eggs in it. The mother may not be around but she certainly has not abandoned those eggs. However, some will feel the need to move that nest thinking they are doing the right thing. It does bring up an interesting question, is it legal to move or destroy a bird's nest in the state of Texas? The answer may surprise you.

Another Massive Chain With 113 Texas Pizzerias Now Facing Bankruptcy
Times are definitely hard in the Texas food service industry, and it probably plays a role in why the locations that are struggling to stay open are finding it challenging to obtain and maintain a fully staffed restaurant.

John Lennon, ‘Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection': Album Review
Mind Games was meant to be a return to form for John Lennon, after an instantly dated protest album that felt didactic and cold. He certainly seemed to be back on track with its opening Top 20 hit title song. But the rest of Mind Games could be a strangely ruminative and often mid-tempo, with a shaggy studio approach. Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection makes it clear who fans should blame: The producer.
Here’s 8 Guaranteed Ways to Tick Off a Texan
Except for a couple of radio gigs in other states, I've always lived right here in Texas. Born and raised in the Panhandle, I'm proud to be a Texan. The Lone Star State has its own swagger and its own style. I like that. However, sometimes folks from other states just don't understand the Texas way. Their assumptions can get aggravating, especially to a native Texan.

Top 15 ’90s Aerosmith Songs
If you didn't like Aerosmith's '80s catalog, there's a good chance you hated their '90s output. After achieving a miraculous comeback with 1987's Permanent Vacation, the newly sober rockers were eager to keep the good times rolling. They continued riding high with 1989's Pump and 1993's Get a Grip, the latter becoming their first No. 1 album in the United States. They returned after another four-year gap with Nine Lives, which underperformed its predecessors but still sold a respectable 2 million copies. In hindsight, it was just a warmup for their first and only chart-topping single, the divisive "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing."

Texas Restaurant Now Named Best Buffet In The State

Texans often do not limit the contest to being just among the United States, not when there are 192 other countries to also dominate as well.
