Tyler Kent was a horrible man. He was a rabid anti-communist who believed that the Jews had been behind the Russian Revolution.
Tyler Kent himself is weird and mesmerising - but still unrepentantly anti-Semitic.
In April 2001, I visited Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky. The heaps of mastodon and other large skeletons that used to loom out of the brackish backwaters along the Ohio River here are long gone, though the occasional big bone sometimes comes to light.
My parents got me a $25 Kent steel-string acoustic guitar when I was around 12. The following Christmas, my parents bought me a Conora electric guitar. It looked almost like a Gretsch. It cost $59, and my mom still has it.
I dreamed of having a Gibson. I had a cheap Kent - you know, a Japanese guitar - and then a Kanora, a Japanese guitar. I borrowed a friend's Harmony for years. To have a Gibson was really, really my dream as a kid.
Most Americans don't know how beautiful an area of the country Kentucky is.
We need a new generation of leaders who can put their country over their political party to do what's right for Kentucky and are not bought off by special interests.
I am further left, I am more progressive, than anyone in the state of Kentucky.
I deeply wish to help move Kentucky and our country forward and I can assure you that I will continue to speak out on the important issues of the day.
I left home at 18, but I still voted in Kentucky. Every holiday, I came home to Kentucky.
