The Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Committee at MCC recently created a new art exhibit. Amee Schmidt, the Chair of the DEIC, talks more about that.

This new exhibit is quite different from the past art galleries as it includes works from industrial arts rather than the typical art forms like paintings, drawings, and photography. The goal when putting up the new exhibit was to represent the diversity of MCC’s campus and to include all of the different artistic professions.

She says that part of what makes the art featured in the gallery is amazing because one ‘doesn’t usually think of metal as being pretty.’ One example she mentioned is a handcrafted motorcycle made from pieces of metal from a gas line. The gallery will be is open at 8 AM to 9 PM every day of the week until April 12th. Many of the pieces are for sale, and the students of faculty members who made them will be the direct recipients of the funds.

We got a first glimpse at Jelly Roll's brand-new set of teeth. His wife posted a video showing off his new smile.

And Jelly thought to himself for a moment before pointing at the camera and saying, "You know what . . . y'all tell us."

Welcome to The List,
"Chattahoochee" is one of Alan Jackson's biggest hits. But he was actually reluctant to put it out, because he didn't know if people would relate. In fact, even Waylon Jennings asked him, quote, "What the heck is a Chattahoochee?" Well, it's a river on the border of Georgia and Alabama. But the song raises an even bigger question: What's a HOOCHIE COOCHIE . . . as in, "It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie"??? Well, here's the answer, directly from songwriter Jim McBride: A hoochie coochie is . . . a county fair strip show.
