Happy Hour: When The Rich Get Richer
- Few things make us happier than the opportunity to rag on everyone’s favorite neighbor John Rich, who got kicked out of Cafe Coco last night around 3am. We won’t ruin the story for you except to say that it involved a powder blue Cadillac, the Star Spangled Banner, and a broken beer bottle. And the best part is that some blessed soul caught it on video. [Music City TV]
- We heard that about 20 square feet of Nashville experienced hail and nasty storms today. The rest of us see bright blue skies and sort of don’t believe you. [Nashville WX]
- Tonight is when the epic Metro Council vote is taking place to approve (or not!) the land purchase for the new Music City Center. If you’re super-bored and want to see it all go down, turn on Channel 3 around 6:30pm. [WKRN]
- Nothing says “our priority is public safety” like the headline, “Police Face Bullet Shortage.” We wonder how many melted-down Hummers would it take to remedy this situation. [WSMV]
- If you live in Franklin, you’ll want to keep an eye on those fancy GPS systems of yours. [City Paper]

The Tennessean’s Toast Of Music City Is Back For Another Crispy Year
Remember last year’s Toast Of Music City? If not, let us refresh your memory. The Tennessean’s readers voted Shoney’s, Golden Corral and Olive Garden as some of the top spots to grab a bite to eat, and Nashvillest readers were mortally offended. And so we’re begging you: Get over there and make things turn out right this year!
Toast of Music City is the Tennessean’s annual Reader’s Choice Awards, and to be fair, the site and voting is greatly improved, and the 105 categories appear to be more Scene-esque than ever! To that point, there’s an, ahem, Best Local Blog category. We think you know the right thing to do…

Thankfully, Regal Cinemas and Harpeth Community Church have got your back with their summer movies for kids programs.

Bright & Early: Haters To The Left Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We’ve been hearing a lot about all the state budget cuts (and local budget cuts, and school budget cuts…), but Governor Phil doesn’t exactly inspire much confidence by asserting that “it’s not like we’re slashing state government into ribbons,” and inviting us all to “blame it all on Bredesen” before we’ve even had time to assess the damage. Or even his statement to all the haters: “Fine, if you want a different revenue source — or if you want to cut something else somewhere — I’ve given you a budget, process it. If you want to change it, change it.” We’ll spare you the gory details, but you can read about some of the worst of the cuts over here.
- Magical thinking. Spring Hill GM workers are trying to stay positive about yesterday’s announcement that the plant will be idling indefinitely before the end of the year, noting that at least they’re not closing for good yet, at least they might have a new product to make (the non-SUV), and it could’ve been worse.
- Tut tut, looks like rain. Nashville racked up a soggy 8.45 inches of rain during the month of May, making it the wettest month since September 2003. And don’t be fooled by the blue skies today, either–we may be in for a stormy afternoon.
- Bits & pieces. Metro PD managed to snag 43 people who were driving under the influence last weekend, which is actually more than they caught on Memorial Day weekend … A suspicious liquid showed up in the lobby of a West End synagogue yesterday evening … June is Dairy Month and we’re still sort of bitter that milk is now our official state beverage … An audit revealed that some state funding was used by the Commission for Children and Youth to buy booze for a legislative reception.
