We are going to digress from politics for a moment because clearly I have seriously offended a superfan of the Austin band, Fastball, which opened for Barack Obama on Saturday. Check out this anonymous comment: Why are you picking on Fastball? They have accomplished much more than you ever will. You are a no-name reporter, but Fastball was nominated for two Grammy awards. So what if their peak came in '98 and '99? Does that mean they aren't allowed to play their music anymore? Get a grip!Hrmmm. Well, first off, I'm sorry if any Fastball fans out there thought I was "picking on" the band -- I thought just the opposite, that I'd become strangely obsessed with Fastball since I hadn't heard from them in such a long time. Second, the event was for a political candidate and not the band, and because of the rain I wound up live blogging about the band. Consequentially, I think they got plenty of love from us. Many apologies, Anon. 3 CommentsLeave a comment |

There's too much politics in Texas to fit into a newscast, so the fun continues here.

I went back and read your original blog postings, and read the anonymous comment, and I have to say that while I saw nothing in your postings that could have been reasonably construed as "picking on Fastball," what I read from "anonymous" was nothing less than an unprovoked vicious personal attack. I wouldn't worry about offending somebody like that. If he or she was offended, he or she likely goes through life looking for reasons to be offended.
Elise: happy thanksgiving!
Anonymous: go to your shrink. They have pills to hope you lighten your ass up.
Couldn't agree more with Harold. Elise, you did a great job and you have ZERO reason to apologize.
Anon, take Harold's advice. Better living through chemistry. Or, maybe, just learn to read.
Michael Bolton and Kenny G have Grammy awards, too.
