ICYMI: Punk bands pay tribute to Johnny Cash

Kelly’s Live hosted a handful of punk bands paying to Johnny Cash on what would have been the singer’s 85th birthday. The show, organized by Root Cellar Entertainment, brought more than three crates of dog-related products — treats, toys, shampoos and more — and donated more than $600 in cash for TREATS.

Derek occasionally gets homework assignments from daycare. It mostly consists of him learning how to trace his own name, and some very simple math problems – simple if you’re way above the age of 4, that it is. But it’s homework nonetheless.

I hate eggs. Hate them. You can scramble them, poach them, make them sunny side up, and then you can go ahead and stuff yourself because I want nothing to do with them. I have a hard time watching people eat eggs. I liked French toast until someone told me it was nothing more than … MORE>>

It’s rare to see eight female filmmakers lined up in a row discussing their short film and documentary work–mostly because it’s rare to see eight women filmmakers together in one room at all.
