Chad Allan & the Expressions

Chad Allan and his groovy band, circa 1964. My mind works in mysterious ways and I’ve forgotten why I started the research that led me down a rabbit hole into an obscure tale from Canadian musical history. In 1958, a singer named Allan Kowbel formed a band in Winnipeg originally called Allan and the Silvertones. […]

Married Homosexual Couple Accused of ‘Bareback’ Raping Man in Texas

Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Scott Walters (left) and David Daniels (right).

Virginia Democrat Governor Posed in KKK/Blackface Yearbook Photo

  Well, this is certainly embarrassing: A photo from Gov. Ralph Northam’s medical school yearbook shows him and another person in racist costumes — one wearing blackface and one a Ku Klux Klan robe and hood, though it was not clear which person was the future governor.

The best journalism — and Tom Wolfe, […]
