Songwriting documentary with Davenport band The Oliver Twists

The Oliver Twists are a Davenport-based band who will release their next album on Future Appletree Records soon

In late 2008, they were in the studio to record a new song, “Play the Part,” and this documentary was made along the way.

Band interviews and performances are featured in this experimental video with the trio (Jamey Cummins on keyboards, Phil Pracht on drums, Aiden Landman on bass).

John McCain on Gay Marriage: “Smart people tell me…”

OOOOPS! What happens when smart people are wrong?

John McCain: “Smart people tell me that that decision will be reversed by a higher court.”

In September, 2007, Senator John McCain was in Gladbrook, Ia. campaigning at a house party. He spoke on the lawn at the home of Lynn and Claire Handorf and then took questions from the audience and press.

Regarding a Polk County ruling that allowed at least one gay couple to marry in Des Moines, Senator McCain said, “Smart people tell me that that decision will be reversed by a higher court.”

McCain said he would support a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, “if there was a superior federal court that said that the states don’t have the right to regulate the status of marriage…but I certainly don’t [support an amendment] when the states are deciding.”

My new question: Where are these smart people now?
