Al Latta will not be allowed to serenade America

Damn, of all the weekends to muzzle Kansas City’s most enigmatic crooner, why does it have to be the Fourth of July? According to this story, Latta’s home base, the Cigar Box, has its liquor license suspended for two days due to violating city ordinances, selling booze to minors among them. The suspension starts at 6 a.m. July 4th, and ends at midnight, July 5. Too bad Latta and the Box won’t get their hands on a little of that sweet holiday drinking money, but at least this way maybe he’ll get a night off to watch the fireworks.

Best to you, Al.
