Ding dong the legacy media and its slavish war reporting is dead
In a major development that must be frustrating to an establishment trying to sell their policies to an increasingly skeptical public, the rising popularity of independent media has made it impossible to create broad consensus for corporate-compliant narratives, and to casually denigrate, or even censor, those who disagree. It’s been a long road. In terms of foreign policymakers being able to control the message, the first Gulf War in 1991 was a high-water mark in retrospect.

How Reuben Cox of L.A.’s Old Style Guitar Shop Came to Build and Tweak Guitars for Stars and Hobbyists Alike
Every luthier has an interesting backstory, but I have yet to encounter one who came to the profession—or approaches it—quite the same way as Reuben Cox, owner of Old Style Guitar Shop in Los Angeles as well as a guitar maker and repair tech. Whether working on guitars for Jackson Browne, building a rubber bridge for an instrument powering a Taylor Swift hit, or setting up some kid’s cheap acoustic, Cox keeps chasing a sound—and inviting the world along for the ride.

How to Not Get Caught by the OPD
On Sunday, Sept. 25, six Miami University students were arrested for underage drinking, and if I had to guess, all six were freshmen. It seems the post-COVID college newbies have no understanding of how to avoid mommy and daddy getting a phone call from OPD their second month on campus. Since, clearly, you freshmen do not know how to stay out of the back of a cop car, I feel like I need to impart some of my wisdom. Never fear underclassmen.

Public service is the best work of life
Patrick Sullivan For me, the lyrics to Don McLean’s 1971 iconic song “American Pie” are a metaphor for the changing times. “When I read about his widowed bride Something touched me deep inside The day the music died So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry” As I hum this song, I am reminded of my first car, a 1967 Chevy Camaro, in that era a very popular car. Do you remember Foster City in the 1970s?

Opinion Patrick Sullivan , Heather O'Watch TheConversation.com Wednesday, August 25, 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic has been difficult for everyone.

How to Find the Best Shoulder Rest for Your Violin
By Patrick Sullivan | From the July-August 2021 issue of Strings magazine Sebastian Schwelm still remembers the feeling of relief. After starting to play the violin at age seven, Schwelm used the same shoulder rest for some 15 years, even as he grew up and his body changed dramatically. Then he took an Everest shoulder rest for a test drive. “I tried it and switched the same day,” he recalls. “I’m a tall person, and the way it scooped over my shoulder made me feel a lot more comfortable.
A Flexible Approach: Can Yoga Help You Fight Injury and Find New Joy in Music?
By Patrick Sullivan It was the highest storm surge in American history. When Hurricane Katrina stormed ashore ten years ago, Pass Christian, Mississippi, nearly vanished beneath a wall of water almost 30 feet high. The little city suffered catastrophic damage. Dozens were dead or missing. Thousands of houses were damaged or destroyed. Just one municipal building was still standing. A decade later, string teacher Annie Young-Bridges remembers the chaotic aftermath.

Critical Discourse for the Living
Legendary radio hosts Diane Rehm and Cynthia Canty to talk death, dying, and deciding By Anna Faller | Feb. 20, 2021 Of all the topics we’d rather not talk about, death has long ranked near the top. The last on our list of cultural taboos, mortality still makes most Westerners squirm. After all, who really wants to discuss their own demise — or perhaps even worse, that of a loved one? Acclaimed radio host and author Diane Rehm does, and she wants her readers to talk about it, too.
Charlevoix's Pigs Eatin' Ribs
Slow and low is the tempo By Eric Cox | Feb. 20, 2021 By 2008, Charlevoix Chef Adam Kline had seen and tasted enough.

Getting Wild with the Foeder
Foeder (prounounced food-er) has landed Up North By Karl Klockars | Feb. 20, 2021 Drinkers with a discerning eye may have noticed a couple interesting-looking wooden containers in the back of Traverse City’s Silver Spruce Brewing.

They’re called foeders, and at Silver Spruce they have one main job: taking beers and getting them to go wild.
The Power of Our Example
Guest Opinion By Jack Segal | Feb. 20, 2021 Every new president faces a daunting array of problems, but 2021 will go down in the history books: Our country is under siege from a virus that has killed 485,000 Americans; Congress is locked in partisan struggles over the election, the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and another stimulus bill; and our people are deeply divided. These domestic challenges would have been plenty for President Biden to tackle.
Look Up
Spectator By Stephen Tuttle | Feb. 20, 2021 Now that we've solved all our earthly problems, perhaps we should look skyward. There are issues lurking up there. This all started in October 1957, when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, which did nothing more than blink and send a simple radio signal. Many alive at the time watched the little orb whizzing across the night sky, a marvel of sorts. The United States joined the party by launching Explorer 1 just four months later.
Framing Britney Spears
Hey, Watch It By Meg Weichman | Feb. 20, 2021 You might think you know the story, and even if you do know the story, it’s time to get outraged all over again. Tracing the life of Britney Spears from her rise as a pop princess to global phenomenon and then her tragic downfall as a national punching bag, the documentary Framing Britney Spears revisits Britney’s story a now-unbelievable 13 years into a legal conservatorship that has taken away her most basic rights.

The Battle over Michigan’s Water
Water advocates fighting a Nestle permit are frustrated by the environmental regulators under Gov. Whitmer’s watch. By Patrick Sullivan | Feb. 6, 2021 After two years and more than $200,000 in litigation spent to stop Nestlé Waters from ratcheting up the amount of spring water it pumps from a well in central Michigan, water advocates are flummoxed; the state’s environmental regulator shot down their objections.
Saved from Despair ... by Worms?
How a Manistee mom turned a miniature effort to combat climate change into a thriving business. By Patrick Sullivan | Jan. 30, 2021 A couple of years ago, with another child on the way, Elana Warsen said she had a sort of miniature existential crisis — she wanted to do something to make the world a better place, but she wasn’t sure what to do.

Very Busy Very Fast
Spectator By Stephen Tuttle | Jan. 23, 2021 This isn't going to be easy. President Joe Biden and his thin congressional majority are walking into troubled times both domestically and internationally. The divisions we now see and must somehow confront, ably abetted by silent or overtly enabling politicians, have spilled into a contentious Congress. Biden's agenda will not even partially succeed unless he can somehow bridge that gap. And that agenda is plenty long.
A Gangland Murder at the Crossroads
The Doherty Hotel By Tom Carr | Jan. 23, 2021 On a Saturday Night in May 1938, Isaiah Leebove strolled into the Hotel Doherty, the four-story brick building in the center of downtown Clare, [Michigan].

Bullies with Badges
Guest Opinion By Amy Kerr Hardin | Jan. 23, 2021 There is a cancer of white supremacy infecting our nation’s law enforcement.

He’s Gone, Now What?
Guest Opinion By Grant Parsons | Jan. 23, 2021 Wounded and fearful, America watched the 45th President leave the nation’s capital. On a hastily arranged stage at an enclosed Air Force base, the disgraced president gave an off-the-cuff goodbye to a few hundred family and friends.
Forty Acres’ Spa Day Martini
Bottoms Up By Eric Cox | Jan. 23, 2021 Myriad methods of cocktail creation are on display at bars around the world. There are flaming drinks, compotes laden with almost absurd amounts of fruits and vegetables, and sometimes even aerosolize booze infused with, well … weird stuff. At Boyne Mountain’s slope-side Forty Acres Tavern, the Spa Day Martini ($11) also relies on a bit of a gimmick — but a mighty tasty one — to carry it forward.
The fine line between saving a tourism-based economy and saving lives
Pure Michigan's Plight By Patrick Sullivan | Jan. 23, 2021 After a year-long hiatus, the state’s Pure Michigan campaign re-launched late last month with a $1.2 million effort showcasing Michigan’s winter playgrounds. Its intent: to reinvigorate the state’s moribund tourism economy by luring visitors in and outside the state to visit places like northern Michigan this season.
