Youngblood

Green Day still hasn't made any good music this century. That's what I surmised after listening to their latest effort "Revolution Radio." Perhaps the creepiest and strangest song was "Youngblood," which honestly felt like it was written for a Twilight movie. I used to like Green Day as a kid, when albums like "Dookie" and "Nimrod" ruled the roost, but much like their '90s rock counterpart,Weezer, the new millennium has done them no favors.

Fantasy football took a turn for the worse this week in my main league, as I dropped a stinker by scoring only 88 points. I did win in two of my other three leagues though, including one where I still sit on top with a 5-0 record.

I have a ton of photos this week to share from a variety of area events, enjoy. If you want to purchase any photos check out ecmpublishers.smugmug.com/MorrisonCountyRecord/Sports:
