Meaningful music

B.B. King's music makes you forget your cares, your worries, your suffering, your pain, everything. B.B. King was a beautiful person.

Don't forget Brady

I read with interest about the "Judge signals he may give freedom to John Hinkley," from the 1981 shooting that injured then-President Reagan and three others. But they failed to state that one of the others was the Brady guy, who was confined to a wheelchair after that and was brain damaged up until his death a couple years ago. I believe that John Hinkley deserves his freedom, too, only when Mr. Brady can come back to life and not be confined to a wheelchair.

Different rules

John Diehl certainly did not engage in behavior that would warrant his resignation as Speaker of the Missouri House. And for Democrats to call for his resignation is the height of hypocrisy. Bill Clinton engaged in much worse behavior in the Oval Office. I don't recall Democrats demanding that he resign. In fact, everywhere Clinton goes, Democrats give him a standing ovation. I'm sick and tired of there being one set of rules for the Republicans and another set of rules for Democrats.

Kamath's column

Really appreciate the excellent article by Dr. Kamath. Thank you so much.

Great band

Finally, a great southern rock band comes to the fair. It's about time. .38 Special will rock your socks off, as I have seen them many times before. Great show. Hope to see you there.
