Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Granny Pearl

By Kurt Cunningham

Sometime last summer I received a friend request on Facebook from Granny Pearl. I had no idea who she was but, as always, I approved the request and for the next few months I saw more and more of my friends also becoming Facebook friends with her. I wracked my brain trying to... »

Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Matthew Brown

By Kurt Cunningham

I first met Matthew Brown last year at our mutual friend Allan Acevedo’s house for the season finale of American Idol and series premiere of Glee.

Citizen Kurt’s Dirty Dozen: Michael Brandon

By Kurt Cunningham

My “research” on Michael Brandon, for the most part, had been limited to visual images. And let me tell you, there is plenty of good stuff out there to see.

I first met “Big Mike” Phillips in 1992 when he was tending bar at the Brass Rail. At the time, I was a regular there and Big Mike always poured a nice, heavy cocktail. Big Mike moved on to other venues around town, and we all followed him, especially when he landed at Rich’s.  As... »
