Welcome to the first ever video breakdown from The Wise Guise! Warner is covering the Beale Street Music Festival since he went all three days. However, I felt like I did enough observing on Friday night to point out a few things that really bother me about festival crowds and humanity for that matter. This will be a brief post as I just have a few observations I’ve deemed worth sharing. Below is a video from the Three 6 Mafia …

Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival: A Rant and Review

Posted on by Warner Russell in Featured, Music | 2 Comments

Every year for the past 10 years or so, give or take a year here and there, I have made the trek to Tom Lee Park in Downtown Memphis for the annual Memphis in May Beale Street Music Festival (from here on referred to as BSMF) for at least one of its three days. And every year, after the last band has played, as I walk through the gates to head home on Sunday, I inevitably tell whatever person I …

The Secret Patriotism of the First Weekend in May

A boxing match is like a cowboy movie. There’s got to be good guys and there’s got to be bad guys. And that’s what people pay for – to see the bad guys get beat. – Sonny Liston It’s kind of ironic that the two sports with the greatest characters, boxing and horse racing, have both been on the decline.

Awkward Broments In Time

When two men come together in the bond of friendship, it is oftentimes over a common interest in one of many things: sports, alcohol, women, music, etc. It’s usually extremely casual. Maybe some hot wings, a few brews, and a game on TV. End of story. But there are a few specific times in a man’s life where an awkward bro-ment occurs. If you seem lost, stay with me. You’ll understand soon.

He is now joining us to blaze another trail and to help spark a debate.

Movie Review: The Redemption of General Butt Naked

Posted on by Colin Stovall in Featured, Movie Reviews, Movies | 1 Comment

Yep. The title served its purpose. Sucked you in, just as it did to me on Friday night. I love documentaries, mainly because I discover more about the human condition. Well, this film causes you think very hard about forgiveness and the limits people will allow others to be forgiven. Joshua Milton Blahyi, a.k.a. General Butt Naked, was responsible for thousands of deaths during the Liberian civil war. Men, women, and children all were innocent victims of his evil rampage. …

Why The NBA Playoffs Are Better Than March Madness

Posted on by Colin Stovall in Basketball, Featured, Sports | 4 Comments

The NBA playoffs are better than March Madness. Try and debate me. If you have a team of interest in the NBA, then the NBA Playoffs are so much better than the few weeks of March Madness.
