In spite of everything, some days you get to read a manuscript about Sidney Hirsch.

I described Pap Singleton's escape from Nashville as him having "performed a surprise emancipation of himself." I was pretty funny when I wrote that a year ago.

Bart has stated something to me so clearly that I kind of don’t know how to go on with my day.

Y'all. The Higgins family just gets more interesting to me. So, we have the two sisters who are wealthy as fuck sex workers. We have the two brothers who clearly benefitted from the money while the sisters were alive but then pretended not to know them later.

There are two sisters who each ran “houses of ill-fame” in Nashville in the 1800s—Rebecca and Eliza Higgins. And I mean for almost forty years they did this. I think that Eliza ran a franchise of her older sister’s business.

Nashville, if you go right now, the moon is huge and low and this beautiful pink-orange color that will startle you a little.

I don’t think Bill would join me in joining in a fight.

I love reading about old-timey fights, because they're always like "John Smith and Edward Bell joined in a fight in the street over a parcel. A lewd woman leaned out the window and she and her terrier joined in the fray."

Every time I try to use AI for a task I could hand my eight year old nephew if he were allowed to work under Tennessee law, it makes me want to bang my head against my desk. Why doesn't it just fucking work?

Well, my dad is pissed at cops and churches and ranting about how groups that don’t pay taxes shouldn’t get to use police as traffic control on Sundays. My dad is a minister.

Some people doubt I can write a whole column without cussing or dressing someone down. Those people don’t understand how much joy the legend of the Joelton chestnut brings me. www.nashvillescene.com/news/pithint...

Y'all, in 1868, according to the Banner, Nashville was rounding up the keepers of the maisons de joie and fining them to keep the city in enough money to function.
