Saying 'no' to KU

Wed, 05 Dec 2007 16:01 CST

Since I was little, I've always assumed I would apply to KU. It's just one of those things you do, you know – go to school, eat your vegetables, say please and thank you, apply to KU.

Some of my best friends will go to KU for a million different reasons, they'll be happy there, and it's the right choice for them. I love the Jayhawks. Always have, always will. I'm proud to say I'm a KU fan.

But I don't want to go there.

BRAD REVARE: Paddy Casey - a more nuanced David Gray?

Thu, 08 May 2008 10:06 CDT

I often start out these articles on new artists by comparing them to better known ones. In my observations with friends, I find this to be the de facto way of people telling one another about new artists. Someone might casually mention a new artist they really like, and more often than not, the friend will ask, "Who does he sound like?"
