Dolly and Chris Trickle

Here's that Dolly Parton review -- kind of a fun one to write because it gave me a chance to take a couple pot-shots at the Music City morons who program stations like K102 in the Twin Cities.

Also, this week's edition of the Las Vegas Weekly features an amazing story about former up-and-coming NASCAR driver Chris Trickle (nephew of Dick), whose life was cut short by an unknown shooter here in Vegas 11 years ago. I knew nothing about this kid, but was fascinated by the story. Plus, it's interesting to read about how Trickle's tragic death opened the door for Kurt Busch's rise on the NASCAR circuit. Give it a look.

Awesome, touching read. I can't even imagine how tough it must be for a parent to deal with the loss of a child, especially in an unresolved situation such as this. Great link, man.
