Pamela Anderson v. Colonel Sanders: Found another disturbing billboard the other day, this one here in Nashville. Its a message from PETA activist Pamela Anderson imploring us not to visit KFC because they allegedly are inhumane to their chickens. Its not that I'm a fan of KFC. I can't remember the last time I ate there. Though its wrong, its not the torturing of chickens that bothers me. Its that PETA thinks that Pamela Anderson is a role model that should be giving me ethical advice. I don't see Pamela Anderson and ethics or morality in the same sphere. At least try to find a celebrity I might respect. Throw Morgan Freeman up there. Or Bono. But Pamela Anderson? Pamela Anderson's greatest contribution to western culture was running down the beach in slow motion. And yes, those breasts were hypnotic. However, it does not qualify her to be a moral authority. It makes me want to take a bucket of Original Recipe and eat it in the lobby of PETA's headquarters.

Huzzah for Saturday: What a great day Saturday was. First I attended Nashville's premier social event for the first time, the Iroquois Steeplechase. A group of friends and I spread out blankets on Poor Folks Hill, had a mad crunk picnic (from the first post, see how it all ties together), and made fun of well-dressed women in freakish hats. There was horse racing, too. It all went well until God decided to break His promise not to destroy the Earth by water again and the rain fell down. We were soaked in our Sunday best, but that made it more fun. Umbrellas were futile.
Then that night we went to see Patty Griffin at the Ryman Auditorium, my all time favorite place to see a show. We were on the 5th row, and she was singing maybe 10 to 15 feet away. I think there were tears of joy on my friend LB's face.
"I could throw my gum and hit her." she said with naked emotion.
We didn't throw gum at her, but did enjoy an incredible show. She has a fantastic voice and is one of my favorite songwriters. If it weren't for U2 lurking in October, this might have been the concert of the year.
