Stop the Exodus to Austin
Anthony MarianiMaybe we should start a campaign to get hip Fort Worth musicians who’ve relocated to Austin to come back. Just ’cause. First one to wrangle is alt-country singer-songwriter and Paste magazine darling Collin Herring, whose n...
Off Asides On Dallas Cowboys
Jeff PrinceDumping Jessica Simpson might have been premature. Last year, she shouldered the blame for Tony Romo’s dismal performances. Now there’s nobody to blame but No. 9. And he deserves plenty of blame for yesterday 10-17 loss to ...

Sarah Palin Going Rogue All The Way To Bank
Jeff PrinceWhy? For the love of God, why? Why in the name of all that’s reasonable and sane — why? Why in the mind-numbingly dense “Achey Breaky Heart” mentality of the American masses, why? Why would anybody care what...
Jim Beam And Frac Water Don’t Mix
Jeff PrinceJim Beam over ice with a splash of H20 is my favorite cocktail, and since all three ingredients require water I am concerned when somebody comes along and threatens the earth’s supply. Fort Worth Weekly was among the first ne...
