Don’t Drink and Read: Jeff Vrabel
Sometimes you just need a good laugh. Jeff Vrabel’s blog delivers pretty reliably, though it also contains some solid music writing. The columnist’s writing is a regular fixture, apparently, at the Island Packet/McClatchy-Tribune, and crops up with groundhog-like irregularity in Billboard and elsewhere. I hesitate to link to his recent post on Barack Obama because I’m nearly afraid some bozo will take it seriously, but I’m going to hope that anyone who reads this on a regular basis (all three of you) has their sense of humor intact.
The first thing I ever read on Jeff Vrabel’s blog was a post titled, “How my Uncle Jim was at the forefront of the green revolution.” I made the mistake of reading said post while drinking at my computer (seltzer; I don’t advocate writing while intoxicated) and nearly sprayed both my keyboard and monitor with it. We’ve all got families, and they’ve all got at least one character like Uncle Jim, but our familes don’t all have Jeff Vrabel to tell their stories.
