I have been away from writing this column for about a year or more to be exact. I have missed it, I know some of my close friends have even remarked that I have toned it down over the last few years. However those days are done and over with, as I have returned to this space. No I am not planning on throwing bombs and throwing people under the bus. What am I saying? If it was not that it would not be the Weekly Rant. So we have the God smack fired up and I am ready to rant kids.
This week I am going to return ranting and raving with something that I have not done in a long while and that’s attacking the local media. I am not going to go after Thomas Lamb and the Sinful crew, so please hold those emails off.{At least for a few columns} No, I am talking about the folks in the MAINSTREAM media. Yes kids, the Mainstream media the newspapers, radio,etc. Now I have over the last year or so made the transition to the Hutchinson Kansas media scene. I have also become more accumulated to the Wichita KS scene. Now I still maintain a crew in the Salina KS area but I am not gonna whack at them either. I am also not going to whack at the fringe media as I have grown to call them, they are like fans but not like Anne The Fan from Afresh.
Lets look at the folks in Salina Kansas and the Hutch media. Now I have friends at Eagle Communications in Hutchinson and Salina Kansas. However for the sake of argument at this time, lets stick with the Hutchinson media. I have good friends at Hutchinson News here in H town{as the urban thugs would say}. Hell they even helped out with Concertsforthecause.com which I am greatly happy for. However the problem here lies with my pal Gary “Cream” Demuth at the Salina Journal. Oh hell I can't talk smack on Gary he always been fair to us. Let's go lodge some bombs at KSAL radio in Salina Kansas, the boys over there are easy to pick on, so lets go for it. Lets start with,.....Dang? I cant go after them either? What the hell is wrong with me? I can not seem to lodge any bombs at anyone this week.
Finally have I lost the ball here or I have my mind just lost it's timing for being nasty? I have been away from this for too long, I have a open space here I need to fill and I can not seem to go after anyone? Maybe Dutch's Cousin Chris is right, maybe I am just nothing but a damn gimmick? Good lord what have I done here? I should be saying things like, “C from the Sinful Sisters is a failure at concert events and should give it up.” I should be saying things like, “Gary Demuth got heat on him from the Salina Journal for not doing his job, when our staff continues doing his job on writing about local entertainment events in Salina & Hutchinson Kansas.” I just can not bring myself to say nasty things like, “When is In The Now Magazine going to release that issue with Morgan Wilk on the cover?” Or how about that “Media Exclusive” Thomas Lamb had with The Black Crowes or the interview with the Front man from Sound garden, that no one had access to?” However I just can not bring myself to say any of those nasty horrid things? Hell I guess come back next week and I may have something bad and nasty to write about?
