I took some time this week for a rather enjoyable conversation with comedian Ron White, who's coming to the Show Me Center on Thursday.

Of course, he was a fun interview: very frank, very funny. There's probably a good guy hidden under that gruff voice and behind that ever-present glass of scotch. Pick up our print edition, or read the interview

on our site.

So there's your entertainment.

If you want to read something that will get your ire up, ready my column tackling the issue of diversity in the Arts Council. Keep in mind it's just an opinion, though, and that I'm not a negative monster.
