When your local newspaper rebrands to cover the whole state then repeatedly can’t distribute the print edition because of problems in Iowa where they moved production to cut costs, you’ve been …

NICKLED AND DES MOINES’D

The problem is ALWAYS Iowa

In general it’s such a mess that so many big city midwestern papers have moved their production so far away from their respective cities

Can he at least swing the bat with both hands and make it look like he's trying

I hope no one in Minnesota wanted their Star Tribune tomorrow because they never made it out of Iowa.

Makes more sense. The production work here should be straightforward unless the software glitches or something

It’s in Iowa per a mutual who delivers papers!

I have been told over and over in no uncertain terms that the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome was the last enclosed multipurpose stadium to be constructed. Maybe that was in the U.S.

They said the Tokyo Dome was modeled after the Metrodome in Minneapolis. I thought that was awesome!

New Wave bands try to avoid boredom.

With the biggest early splash in local pages in this Tim Carr preview of Talking Heads at the Longhorn, published in the Minneapolis Tribune Oct. 21, 1977, shortly after his Flamingo writeup.

"New Wave" was just creeping into the alt-weekly and daily newspaper lexicon around then. The earliest mention in a non-generic music context I see is the August 5, 1977 edition of Twin Cities Reader, in a Tim Holmes review of Mink DeVille, AND a classified ad seeking a drummer for a New Wave group.

Last night Robert Wilkinson told a story at the Schooner about going into Oarfolk in 1977 and Peter Jesperson gave him a taped copy of David Bowie’s new single “Heroes.” A week later, Robert had his band Flamingo covering Heroes, and Robert has been playing the song ever since, including last night.
