Read MoreB.B. King died last week here in Las Vegas. He was 89.
I saw B.B. King perform live three times. I always loved his music, even when listening to the blues wasn’t particularly fashionable. To me, the blues has always been the most honest genre of music.

Answer: A thing or two.

Yesterday, I wrote a first-hand account about the seemingly benign personal experience of being ticketed for multiple traffic violations in various parts of the country, while released with just a warning in the state of Nevada, where I currently reside. The point seemed abundantly clear — cops have discretionary power and do make certain judgments about those they detain and prospectively cite for violations. Most of you who have gotten out of traffic tickets at one time or another will likely agree.

Within the past ten years, I’ve been pulled over a dozen times for various traffic violations.
On exactly half of those occasions, a citation was written out and I ended up paying a fine. The other half, I was let go with just a verbal warning and told to be more careful.
Question: What do you think was the single biggest determining factor between being ticketed by the police versus given a warning? Take your time. You’ll probably never guess.

Read MoreVan Morrison quit caring about the music business or record sales nearly a half-century ago. Consider that this is a man who didn’t even bother to show up for his own induction into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
The New England Patriots have been accused of cheating in an AFC playoff game last season, and quite possibly multiple games played over a much longer period of time.
The infraction consists of team-supplied game balls being deflated from their normally-prescribed air pressure. This action which was intentional presumably gave the Patriots quarterback and its offensive players a much better grip on the ball, and an unfair advantage.
Apparently, as difficult as this is to believe, current NFL rules say that all respective teams are responsible for supplying game balls to their own offenses when they take the field. The league rule which was worked fine for 80 years before that, was changed back in 2006 to allow this, and most teams have probably been doctoring footballs for their offensive players ever since. The scandal finally blew up in a big way because it’s New England, and everyone is either insanely jealous or hates head coach Bill Belichick and would love to see him twitch at the end of a hangman’s rope.
Accordingly, I have just one word to say about the so-called “Deflategate.”
That one word is as follows…..
