Congratulations to Mayor Steve Fulop!

Last night, in just 4 short years passed his 70th tax abatement via city council. We'd also like to point out though Mr. Fulop is at 70 abatements and counting, he couldn't have done it alone. Let's face facts, you don't get to 70 in 4 years without a rubberstamp council. They can yowl and pule at this name but look at the numbers. Like Mary Chapin Carpenter once sang, "The stars might lie but the numbers never do."

So Johnny called out across the bullpen here tonight and asked which artist we should choose for the last video tonight. Zoltron yelled out "Pablo Cruise". Yeah we're not doing that. Here's Mary Chapin Carpenter with 'He Thinks He'll Keep Her'. Johnny got to see her with a very special friend one night many moons ago out dere to da Meadowbrook.

Johnny knows who is gonna show up here very soon and be very happy Johnny chose Mary Chapin Carpenter tonight. Why, he and Trixie Action Space Punk went to see her at the Meadowbrook Theater one cool July Sunday night years ago.

If there's educating to be done on her, he'll let Trixie tell you in comments.

Here is Mary Chapin Carpenter covering Lucinda Williams' song 'Passionate Kisses'.
