The "news" section features also a crossword, and has space dedicated each month for new "bushisms", or quotes from George W. Bush.

The "music" section has interviews, reviews, and a schedule of local musical events. The reviews and interviews are of local, regional, and national musicians, and generally correspond with the musician's appearance at a local venue.
