It was a sad day yesterday as we learned of the death of Charlie Watts, drummer for the Rolling Stones since 1963. Here are 10 facts you probably didn’t know about Charlie Watts.

This Saturday afternoon, Carolina Watershed will host round 2 of The Battle of the Beers. Memphis Made will face off against Crosstown Brewing, with 6 beers from each. There will also be 6 bands performing a free show.

Saturday Down South has a look at the rule changes for college football this season. The big one concerns overtimes.

• First OT: Teams start from the 25-yard line, and after a touchdown they can kick an extra point or go for a 2-point conversion
• Second OT: Teams start from the 25-yard line, and after a touchdown they must go for a 2-point conversion
• Third and successive OTs: No more starting from the 25-yard line, just back-to-back 2-point conversions

Sounds kinda like the football version of soccer’s penalty kick shootouts. I’m not sure I like it.

Week 1 of college football runs all the way from this Saturday to next Saturday. There are 5 games this Saturday but none of them sound that exciting. The only game featuring two Power Five schools is Nebraska vs. Illinois at noon on FOX.

I’m sure some of you are wondering what cream puff football team the Tennessee Vols will pay a million dollars to come to Knoxville and beat the Vols at Neyland Stadium for opening week? This year that honor goes to Mid-American Conference powerhouse the Bowling Green Falcons. That game will be at 7 PM Thursday, September 2 on the SEC Network.

Mayor Lee Harris’ office will present Summer Ag Day on the Civic Center Plaza Friday 11 AM-1 PM. It’ll be a celebration of agriculture with a fresh produce market, live farm animals, farm-themed games, and live music. There will be plenty for children to see and do.

Sounds like a great way to not only learn, but to build contacts within the industry.

There’s a half-off Blind Bear special going on at GetMyPerks where you can get $50 of gift certificates for $25. The offer is good for food only, not alcohol, but the Bear has a fabulous menu so it’s still a great deal. You have to wait for the physical certificate to be snail-mailed to you and bring it to the restaurant to be redeemed. Promotional value expires October 31. Are we sure we can even count on the U.S. Postal Service to have delivered the certificate by then?

The Brian Johnson Band plays Carolina Watershed today at 2.

Max Kaplan & The Magics play the Blind Bear tonight at 9. From the Facebook event description:

Today is a big day for the folks who sit at the corner table at Max’s Sports Bar: It’s National Senior Citizens Day.

Brides.com has published its Ultimate Memphis Bachelorette Party Guide.  They named some pretty good places and they didn’t mention those awful f*cking party pedal bikes, so I’ll give the guide a little link love here. One thing they got wrong: The late-night trip to Raiford’s is not optional. It’s mandatory.

Grizzly Bear Blues has a look at the two players the Memphis Grizzlies acquired in a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves: Jarrett Culver and Juancho Hernangomez.

It’s official. Shelby County Health Department Director Dr. Michelle Taylor, County Health Officer Dr. Bruce Randolph, and County Mayor Lee Harris have issued an amended health directive. Masks will be required when in public indoor spaces in Shelby County for those 2 and over, beginning 7 AM Friday, August 20.

Spaces in which masks are required include restaurants and bars; as before, masks can be removed once patrons are seated. Masks can also be removed in gyms for activities that require physical exertion, such as cardio machines. They can also be removed for business activities for which it wouldn’t make any sense to have them on, such as getting a facial.

The good news is that the health department has not decided to bring back a requirement of 6 feet of social distancing, which was rumored at one point Wednesday afternoon. Bringing that requirement back could have been a death sentence for many Memphis restaurants, now back at full capacity and struggling to make back the massive amounts of money they lost in 2020.

Nor will the directive require cancellation or limited attendance for mass events, which would have been disastrous for events like the upcoming World Championship Hot Wing Fest at Tiger Lane on August 28. That too was rumored at one point Wednesday afternoon.

The mask requirement will remain in place until COVID case and hospitalization numbers drop substantially, or until 70% of Shelby County residents are vaccinated. According to COVID Act Now, the county currently stands at 47.9%.

I absolutely hate this cliche but will use it for the mask mandate… it is what it is. Let’s mask up, realize it could be a lot worse, and get the hospitalization numbers down and the vaccination numbers up so we can take these stupid things off ASAP.

Grace Animal Hospital on South Main seeks an Associate Veterinarian. Two positions are open.

A lot of new drag shows have popped up since COVID restrictions were lifted in May… I wonder how the mask mandate will affect them? A big part of the shows is the outrageous expressions the queens have on their faces as they perform.

That’s it for now. Go enjoy your last day without a mask requirement for a while.

Sometimes part of being an adult is admitting you were wrong. Sometimes it means it means having to admit you didn’t fully think through a position you took – or that you took it based on emotion as opposed to logic and what I like to call “doing what works.” For me, today is one of those days.

In recent weeks, I have been opposed to bringing back a countywide mask mandate. I thought that requiring vaccination or a recent negative COVID test to enter public spaces such as bars, restaurants, and gyms would be sufficient. New York City, San Francisco, and New Orleans have adopted such a measure, and it’s under consideration in L.A.

However, the headline article in today’s Daily Memphian has changed my mind. The ER directors of all the major hospitals in the county have called for an immediate re-implementation of the countywide mask mandate. Not just for schools, but for everyone entering a public, indoor facility.

Here’s the thing: Banning unvacc’d people from restaurants, bars, and gyms would drive the vaccination rate way up. But that doesn’t provide aid to the ER doctors today, which is when they need it. Consider this: Let’s say you realize getting a vaccine is a must, and you go get your first dose of Pfizer or Moderna today, Wednesday, August 18. You’d then return for your second dose in three weeks, Wednesday, September 8. But you wouldn’t be fully vaccinated until two weeks after that, September 22. The ER doctors say they expect hospital COVID cases to increase sixfold by the end of September.

And we’re already in a situation where MFD Chief Gina Sweat has already said, if you call for an ambulance, they can’t guarantee that there will be one for you. Doctors have said that if you try to come to the hospital – for COVID, a broken leg in a car wreck, or a heart attack – they may not have a bed for you.

In other words, if we don’t do what we can to reduce the spread of COVID, people will die needlessly. And masks are proven to reduce the spread of COVID.

I still support doing what NYC, San Francisco, and New Orleans did, regulating that only the vaccinated can have nice things. But that alone isn’t enough.

On to the news… according to Nextdoor, there was an armed robbery on Monteigne Blvd. near South Bluffs Apartments around midnight Sunday. A resident was robbed and beaten but is said to be okay. Keep in mind the crime happened INSIDE A GATED COMMUNITY. That wall that seals off South Bluffs near Georgia Avenue only appears about 6 feet high when I look at it on Google StreetView. A crew of 2 or more could easily scale that with each other’s help.

Karly Driftwood, Jeremy Stanfill, Paul Crum, and Todd Nations will put on a show at South Main Sounds, 550 S. Main, this Friday 7 to 9.

A Mississippi contractor has been cited for violations in the renovation of the old Butcher Shop building at 99-105 S. Front, the Daily Memphian reports. A worker fell to his death on the construction site on February 23. TOSHA found that a winch designed for automotive uses was being used to lift wooden beams on the site. The workers wore harnesses but they were not tethered to anything.

Wow. I can see the Butcher Shop construction from my living room window. I had no idea a man died. I probably watched him walk up and down the building’s fire escape many times.

From the Memphis Flyer: Fewer panhandling arrests were made during the pandemic. Panhandling is not illegal in Memphis, but aggressive panhandling (following or intimidating the person being asked for money) is.

In the news: New Orleans to require proof of vaccination or negative COVID test to enter restaurants, bars, indoor events. A city practically in Shelby County’s backyard has adopted this requirement – Mayor Harris, SCHD Director Taylor, please consider doing the same! Let the good times roll, but only for people who behave responsibly! Makes so much more sense than a blanket mask mandate.
