I read two columns by Rich Tosches; one about police men shooting a keg and the other about his concert experience.
I enjoyed both columns because of the strong joking tone of his writing.
The first column was about local police men that were being charged with reckless endangerment, prohibited use of a weapon, and official misconduct for shooting a keg of beer.
I found the column amusing; the way he wrote it kept me interested.
The detail and descriptions Tosches uses to this story creates clear pictures in my head of what was happening.
The imagery is the most enjoyable part of his writing.
At times the jokes did get redundant because one can right after the other throughout the piece.
I found some of his humor dull because at times it seemed forced.
At the end of this column you find out that one of the police officers shot himself due to a ricocheted bullet.
Not only are his columns funny but they cover content that is humorous as well.
The second column I read was about a concert he attended where he was sitting behind a group of men that were obstructing his view with their enormous heads.
Again I found the detail in the column very intriguing.
I could picture the setting, including the three men as well as Tosches's struggle to watch the concert.
Overall I enjoyed reading Tosches's columns but after a while I found myself overwhelmed by the humorous aspect of his writing.
