Only six hours from my hometown, I never visited Cincinnati. Crossing back and forth across the eastern United States, I never even passed through the city. My tires crunched the pavement leading to Louisville, Columbus, and Indianapolis, but never approached the Queen City. It?s a little off the beaten path (i.e. the major east/west interstates

Whenever it comes to fitness, you usually see a mad dash to the sign-up desks of every gym in May and June. Most people want to get that ?summer bod? to strut around the nearest poolside in July and August. While I admire those vain attempts at carving out a hot summer bod, in my

Since we profiled Hugh Hefner’s career as a self made man a couple of weeks ago, it would be downright ungallant of TSB to ignore his counterpart, Hustler founder Larry Flynt. Flynt is a very controversial figure, and thrives on that, and his outlook on sexuality is much different (at least on the surface) than

I probably don?t need to tell you this, but some $2.99 app on your smartphone isn?t a valid replacement for a proper fitness regimen and/or a personal trainer. While some apps might be very effective (like those photo ones that make your face look super fat), most fitness apps are about as effective in getting

Do you ever get actors or actresses linked in your head? And once that happens, you start to get them confused? Michael Madsen and Tom Sizemore became the first pair to flip back and forth in my mind. Their names started to overlap in my head and I expected to see one of them in

I think everyone can fall victim to romanticizing our firsts. A first date, a first kiss, a first crush, a first love, a first fuck, a first car, a first road trip, a first day of school or whatever, those things stick in your head. I know visions of moments, memories and mental pictures abound

Okay, so we all know who Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash are. We know their songs. We’ve seen the movies and TV specials made about their lives. We may have even visited their respective museums (seriously, go to Graceland. It’s worth the money). But for everything those three men did in

Crappy radio stations. The overwhelming stench of sweat. Dudes wearing spandex shorts five sizes too small. These are just a few of the reasons why going to the gym sucks. But going to the gym isn?t just annoying; it?s not even necessary. Much in the same way you never need to own a Gazelle or

I’ve talked about crazy musicians before (and probably started those columns the same way I’m starting this one), but they’ve generally been underground or outsider artists whose, uh, quirks stood in the way of their potential success. This week’s Awesome Man is different, because Sylvester Stewart (aka Sly Stone) was wildly successful and is still

When I do most of these lists, the five best movies jump out at me almost immediately, or in other cases, the four best or three best or two best and I have to scavenge around for the rest. Halle Berry poses an interesting problem: do I either list the five ?best? movies, the ones
