Reviewing the Las Vegas Review Journal
The long history of print media as a business and a career goes back to the first printed work in the world, the Bible. The Bible contained passages and lines that uplift the soul and promotes the values of truth, justice, humility, honesty and integrity. This was written thousands of years ago by men, who in the eyes of God shared favor. They were the first chroniclers of the truth and in fact the first reporters and writers. They wrote about the good things that the Lord and all his love for mankind. But not everything they wrote was sunshine and butterflies, a lot of the things that they wrote contained the wrath of God and the guile of the Devil. And even though they were for the grace and glory of the Lord, they never took into themselves not to write about the devil. Because in their hearts they had to share what they knew so others will know when they are in the clutches of evil and how to try and avoid them. In essence they were the first generation of media men. And their legacy of upholding the truth and exposing the evil has gone on up to this day.
And the modern day of print media and news reportage has come about. There had been a lot of changes ever since the chroniclers of Magellan and the diaries of Ann Frank. A lot of things evolved over the years, and right now a lot of newspaper caters to the same need that was exposing the truth with honesty, integrity and without bias. In the US there are a lot of state based newspapers that have made a name for themselves with the unique brand of justice and integrity that they project. And in Las Vegas one name comes to mind whenever we think of responsibility and sense of truth, the Las Vegas Review Journal. Read the rest of this entry »

One of the best (if not THE best) summertime values in Las Vegas are the FREE concerts at The Fremont Street Experience.

But, we’re talking big name musicians…like The Guess Who, Johnny Rivers, ELO2, Starship, Badfinger, Marshall Tucker Band, and Kansas.

Get out the tie-dyed T’s, because this is Farm Out, Right Arm, Peas and Gravy. No..wait a minute. Far Out, Right On, Peace and Groovy. Yeah, that’s it. (Hey, it’s been awhile.) Anyway, check it out…
