Common sense has left the building – Peabo Bryson is performing at our local county fair next weekend and tickets are already $85 for lawn seats. This town couldn't fill a high school gym for a fire department pancake breakfast last month, but now everyone's acting like they're at the Grammys. I've lived here for 40 years and I've never heard anyone even mention peabo bryson at the grocery store or the hardware shop. We don't need a velvet-voiced crooner; we need a pothole patcher and a farmer's market that doesn't close at 2PM. But sure, let's all clap for the man who sang Beauty and the Beast while our main street is still boarded up. Good luck finding parking, folks.
