I was watching the local news last night. In Danville, Kentucky there is talk of a city ordinance to ban karaoke in bars and restaurants that serve alcohol.
Well. I’m certainly glad that the city of Danville has solved every single problem in their stupid little town. They must have solved every problem if they are moving onto bad karaoke singers. The news interviewed some of the patrons of this restaurant who came there to enjoy the amateur entertainment every week. It was a family place, they said. Then they showed this kid who was probably about 11 or 12 years old singing some song by The Strokes. And people loved it.
The news sat down with the boy at his table with his mother and asked him, “What would you do if the city of Danville outlawed karaoke?”
This child – who is, in my mind, steeped in complete awesomeness – looked right at the reporter and responded without hesitation, “Well, I’d probably turn to a life of crime.”
This kid should be on Danville’s Board of Commissioners.

That is one of the best lines I’ve ever heard. That kid is going somewhere if he escapes the trailer park scene.
Danville, what a joke! Is there nothing else going on in Danville that garners any attention? I’m upset with KY at the moment and this just gives me that much more evidence in determining that KY is in many regards backwards.
I’m upset the cigarette tax didn’t go through, and also, because the casinos weren’t allowed admittance to the trailer park capital of the world. I’m sorry Mississippi I know how much you covet that title, but I think I’ll borrow it for a bit.
There are rumors that the tow booths may be put back in to use. What the hell is that? Don’t punish the tourists or the people that like to travel. Bring in the casinos and high dollar cigarettes!
