Just Plain Stupid – Part 3

Thanks to The Huffington Post for this tidbit, although it’s also on most of the news sites by now.

From the HuffPo:

In his defense, he insists the dog started it.

A Mason, Ohio man was given a ticket Sunday after allegedly taunting a police dog, according to the New York Daily News. Cops had initially shown up at the bar in order to investigate a car accident.

Ryan James Stevens, 25, was officially charged with teasing the police dog after police returned to their cruiser only to find the allegedly intoxicated young man making noises at the dog in the back of their cruiser, according to the Associated Press.

The AP reported:

Officer Bradley Walker wrote that he heard the K9 dog barking uncontrollably inside his patrol car while he was investigating a car crash at a pub early Sunday morning. Walker says Stephens was making barking noises and hissing at the animal.

When asked why he was harassing the dog, named Timber, Stevens reportedly said, “He started it.”

According to the NY Daily News he was ticketed and released into the custody of a bar employee who drove him home safely. The amount for which Stevens was cited has not been reported.

Yeah. The dog started it. You read that right.

Jackson Browne At The Community Center Theater

Note: I also posted this review at SacMusicBlog.

Singer/songwriter Jackson Browne was in town at our Community Center Theater the other night and showed once again why he is one of the best songwriters around. Most people may know his hits from the seventies, but he’s continued to write, record, and perform since then. His latest album of original material (Time The Conqueror) came out a few years ago.

This tour is solo and acoustic. It was just him, a keyboard, and seventeen (!) guitars. Yes, they each have


Happy Birthday George Harrison!

Today (February 25th) would have been George’s 68th birthday. Would have. But it was not to be. Alas, George, you are missed. Thanks for all the music!

Here’s a good song with a cool video…
