Looks like the inclement weather we’ve been experiencing for the last 72-hours has forced yet another show to be postponed. As such, Train and Uncle Kracker fans expecting to see those two acts at the Ogden Theatre tonight don’t have much to, uh, smile about right now. Evidently the roadways…

Gotta love record companies, especially the majors. What moxie, eh? Even in the midst of steadily declining record sales, that get progressively worse each year, and despite the fact that we’re smack dab in a recession with record unemployment, they’re still trying to squeeze every penny out of us with…
