Phil's Bio

I am Missouri born and raised. Grew up in the St. Louis area, but moved to Nashville in 2002 to further my songwriting career.

In the 1990's, I attended the University of Missouri School of Journalism while playing music in every club between Columbia and Kansas City.

I have two great kids, Mitch and Cagney. They are both amazing and I am very blessed.

Nashville life is amazing, but I still make it back home for a Cardinal game as often as I can. I follow the KC Chiefs, St. Louis Cardinals and the Mizzou Tigers.

I hope you enjoy my articles and comments. Check out my blog sometime at www.philbennett.blogspot.com

Peace,

Phil

What up everyone? I wrote an article about the changes here on B/R over the last couple of months, and about some of the things that we used to have, that we don't anymore. If you could, check it out.

As I have said in the past, many times, I am not on here for AOTD votes, but I believe that if enough of you give me your AOTD vote, then maybe the higher ups will bring back some of the things that are gone.

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it.

A lot of people may not agree with me, but I think in time, everyone will see that this is a real possibility.

Hey,

Today I look back at one of the modern comeback stories that has touched fans of all kinds. This story is about a modern day marvel who had a bright future, only to be setback by abuse of his body. This comeback story of Josh Hamilton himself describes why, nobody is perferct.

Enjoy
