Picture with me, for a moment, a hypothetical. You're nearing the end of your life, a fabulously intellectual life. A life people will want to read about (like I said, this is purely a hypothetical). It's rapidly becoming apparent that you're going to have to write about it, since people...

Results of the Trinity toll road public opinion poll released yesterday by State Rep. Raphael Anchia are so devastatingly obliterating, so thermonuclear, in fact -- 94 percent of Dallas zip code respondents opposed to building it - that they direct a hole-burning focus on the obvious correlative question: OK, so...
Back in 2008, rock band the Orange had a whirlwind taste of local success, playing venues like the House of Blues, making it to radio on The Edge and sharing tour dates with the Toadies and Soul Asylum. Regrettably, the band broke up a year later, and that Orange became...
Cinco de Mayo is the day when a relatively small section of Mexico celebrates a victory over the French in 1862 at the Battle of Puebla. Of course, this being America, we look for anything and everything to exploit in honor of the almighty dollar and the almighty excuse to...
Some years ago, I went to see Tom Jones perform. He sang all the hits, but I was unnerved by his new, walnut-brown goatee. It looked freshly trimmed and fake, like he'd ripped it off Evil Spock backstage. Superstars aren't allowed to change. Even the fans who love them insist...
There's all sorts of problems with pre-election candidate surveys. They're high risk/low reward for participants, can be boring and suffer from a self-selection problem. That's especially true when the survey is conducted by an interest-fueled PAC like the Dallas Green Alliance, one of two political action committees trying to fighting...
Early on Saturday morning a group of crate diggers roll into a church parking lot on Columbia Ave. They pay a small cover charge to walk into a big room with boxes of 25 cent vinyl on the floor and a few private retailers with boxes of premium but reasonably...

There are two kinds of humanist movie. One kind shows human beings struggling against the most unspeakable horrors, sorrows or injustices and still, somehow, emerging with their essential goodness intact. The second, thornier type gives us people doing terrible things to one another — screaming, cheating, and generally making life...
The results are in from state Representative Rafael Anchia's survey of Dallas residents' feelings about the Trinity toll road. They are exactly what you'd expect.

The Beach Boys Verizon Theatre, Grand Prairie Thursday, March 19, 2015 The Beach Boys are now unequivocally grown men, and they have grown men problems. Once up a time their youthful charms could even make their time spent living and writing songs with Charles Manson seem like a marshmallow-roasting bonfire...
Hang on. We had a piece here the other day saying State Representative Rafael Anchia had introduced legislation in Austin to "kneecap" the proposed Trinity toll road project in Dallas, and, true enough, that's what Anchia's bills might do. But in addition to blocking certain state funding from being used...
The fight started on the third floor right before fifth period, when the kids were still buzzing from lunch and hardest to manage.

This week the Dallas Symphony Orchestra brings to life its newest project. The Soluna Festival packs music, art, dance and storytelling into a three-week extravaganza.

How is it that Denton -- that bastion of forward, liberal thinking; the small town that could; the place where citizens rallied together to defeat big business and ban fracking -- can't seem to pass a definitive smoking ban? A debate over the subject raged late into the night last...
In the action thriller The Gunman, Sean Penn, at age 54, looks neither old nor young. He's been in training to look this age for a long time. Even as a relative kid, in 1982's Fast Times at Ridgemont High, his sailor-on-shore-leave mug had a wry, quizzical roughness to it;...
Amid the clatter of diner plates, Claire Morales methodically eviscerates her waffle into equal-sized square morsels, explaining that she's trying to be a "cutting ahead" waffle person instead of a "cut as you go" type.
