Bright & Early: Just Another Manic Monday Edition
Good morning, Nashville. So this weekend wasn’t quite as relaxing as we’d hoped, but somehow despite the craziness of Steve McNair’s death, our souvenir sunburns from the Hot Chicken Festival, and The Great Fireworks Monsoon of ‘09, we’ve still rolled into Monday morning in once piece.

We don’t really know what’s going on downtown… But we do know that it can be pretty accurately described as CMAPOCALYPSE!

A gas [...]
