OUT THERE

HIKES

‘Jazz comedian’ keeps humor alive while battling personal demons

For many comedians, where there is laughter, there is pain. But, few comedians have experienced as many highs and lows as Shecky Greene, who started performing in the 1940s while in high school and continues today, with shows this weekend at the Suncoast.

Games have players belting out hits

Some years back, I became a rock critic, in addition working as a video game critic. (It’s a hard-knock life.) Suddenly, I felt professionally justified to sing in the car along to tunes I was reviewing. Other drivers would look at me funny, but I’d think, “Check it out, sucker, I get paid to do this.”

Martin takes wreck filled Southern 500

DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Don’t let Mark Martin’s joyful demeanor fool you — he knows how well he’s running and knows where that could lead this season.

"It’s early in the year," Martin said Saturday night. "A lot of cool things could happen the way things are going."
