Saturday is PUNK ROCK Rip Taylor, one of the more subtle comedians of our time. I consider myself the poor man’s version of Rip Taylor. We all loved him on The Gong Show and The $1.98 Beauty Pageant.

Sandra Bernhard, who got her start as a contestant on The $1.98 Beauty Pageant and ended up co-hosting a show with me is proof you can end up worse than when you started in the biz. Sandra has a new song out with the fab…Chrissie Hynde.

The Jack E. Jett Show Saturday & Sunday 1pm to 3pm Rational Radio 1360 AM The Punk Youv'e Been Missing.

Has anyone ever asked him why he wears yellow gloves?

an awesome time had by all. it was great to hear so many stories. the girl that won read a letter she wrote to ted haggerd about being duped by the new life church. dallas has a lot to say.

I am holding a charity for people without toasters. I'm calling it, A Charity for People Without Toasters. We want to keep the event as upbeat as possible. We are looking for performers, singers who can dance and dancers who can sing.

d magazine has alway relished watching and commenting on the failure of other business. that is why they promote snarkness. they have such disdain for the worker bees, but yes, i am far to clever for my own good, but i have no patience for hypocrites.

Lisa I love black and white puppies, either in or out of Cole Haan shoes. I love Taco Bell and ice tea. I love coffee and carmel corn. I love having dinner with friends where the friends are the focal point and not the fact that I am being seen. I love Denzel Washington and I think Michelle Obama is the coolest chick on the planet earth. I love people that are real. I am far more concerned that people in our city go hungry and and the homeless situation is growing to epic proportions than I do about what Dapper Dan is wearing or who has the best fresh ginger root in Dallas.

So, yes, I think in these economic times, these ragazines serve to only entertain those who have made money off the backs of those that could give a crap less. I think these ragazines are as out of touch with reality as the Queen of England and the Queen of Daria.

Travis.

D featured the top ten "trend setters" that we "should know".

Here is one example.

DONALD FOWLER buyer for Stanley Korshak’s Home Shop

Why Donald? The dapper gent also acts on local stages and is designing a jewelry line.

Three words that describe your style? Easy, elegant, and personal.

How would you describe Dallas style? Dallas has a slightly lifted point of view when it comes to fashion. We aren’t afraid of color, and we still dress for dinner.

Trends for spring? I really like the “nesting” thing that’s going on. We are seeing people buy new place settings and serving pieces to do more entertaining at home.

Donald is wearing Etro jacket ($1,445), Etro shirt ($265), Etro scarf ($125), Kiton tie ($235), all available at Stanley Korshak. Pants and Cole Haan shoes (his own).

I don't know anyone, who knows anyone that could relate to this.

D is not vapid? Yet snarky?
Has anyone told you Nancy, this city has been in a recession for over a year, that people are loosing their jobs and homes while D celebrates the return of the man who created this havoc in the first place.

Also, I read the above comment 3 times and still don't understand the point you are trying to make.

What is in your glass?

Wow, Ralliawns Gilliand, the undisputed Mother Teresa of Dallas updates us on her journey to worldwide healing. Great! D Mag is still a green sheet with glossies so shiney I can pop a pimple on it. Nancy Nichols takes photos of birds. While so many in the city are jobless/homeless and without healthcare, she gets paid to take photos of birds.

The lay off McGill, a talented journalist who was probably the only one there that ever interacted with non-white, non wealthy, real Dallasites, only to replace him with a sports jock, so the boys can trash the Mav's at the Monk.

YET, we are to believe that one had nothing to do with the other.

And the 12% doesn't add up, if you are to believe any of the facts they spew in the first place.

What you have at D Magazine/Frontburner are a group of ego maniacs that are loosing control of their asylum. Daddy Warmonger has sold his soul one too many times. The Bush trickle up economy has failed them. No one really cares about who the BEST D Doctor is, when they have no insurance, and can't afford healthcare because they have no job. Nor do they care that the Belmont makes the best Apple-Crantinis when they can't afford to put food on the table.

It is the have's versus the have nots. The arrogant have's versus the censored have nots.

Now I don't want to brag Rockin Rawlins, but since my last comment, my home has been inudated with cans of Lima Beans, Iceberg lettuce and some toilet paper with the words of Uta Hagen, and I am going today to distribute them to the hispanics playing soccer at a nearby field. After that, we are swinging by Presby to cure cancer and then on to the Opera were I am being honored by yet another group that I have helped, but whose name escapes me but I know Sharon Stone will be inovolved. I am sorry if Jesus loves me a bit more than he does you. He validates my parking.

D Magazine is a greensheet with glossy photos. Nothing more. Nothing less. While I admire Mike and his appreciation for their investment, Pegasus is a better read than D. A can of Lima Beans is a better read. My toilet paper is a better read. Nancy takes and publishes nice glossy photos of birds. Candace takes multiple photos of G.W. Bush moving in to his house. Tim uses the rag for his personal rants, which really only matter to him.
I look forward to the demise of D Magazine. We deserve better. We are better and far more diverse that D Magazine would suggest. We are gritty, raw, talented, unique, fun, and most of us could give a bowel less on who has the Best Iceberg Lettuce in Dallas and how the hell do they know anyway?
Being pissy is so 1998.
Pegasus will soon become the most reliable news source in Dallas within 2 years.
