My wife Irene and I travelled to bluegrass festivals for twenty years, writing blog, now I write about politics, music, books, streaming video, or what I want.

Just listened to this podcast by @SykesCharlie with his guest @JeffSharlet, who's written a book after years of reporting from the far right. Apocalyptic view signals the end of America as we (many of us) know and love it. thebulwark.com/podcast-episo…
Wondering if #TikTok really is a danger, or is it simply a convenient way to express ongoing cultural/political concerns:
I've posted my review of "Steve Jobs" by @WalterIsaacson. This lively, readable, and comprehensive view is well worth your time if you're interested in computers or their influence on the world.

Great rendition as @DarinandBrookeA join @vincegill00168 singing Vince's wonderful song "Go Rest High on the Mountain," his song written on the death of his brother. Give it a listen:

Sad, as I watch humane and worthwhile employment, especially among skilled workers and those doing the menial jobs we need to have accomplished, is becoming less able to support people.
Give this piece from the @nytimes for some ideas about why reading is dying. Spoiler: Don’t blame devices….. nytimes.com/2023/03/09/opini…
Just a thought about what makes us worthy of a healthy Uncle Sam. "Give me your tired, your poor...."
Converting office spaces to residential units across a broad range of incomes makes huge sense as increasingly people are working from home. Give this one a read! washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
via @NYTimes comes this article re @Michael7032’s new release as well as lots of great information for those of you who don’t know his story. Read the article and play the song. nytimes.com/2023/02/28/arts/…
I’ve posted a review of @brothersgibson new recording “Darkest Hour,” filled with new material. Produced by @JerryDouglas with well chosen guests. Read my review and then get the CD.

As usual, @DavidAFrench allows the courage of a former #FoxNews voice to tell the truth about a news network that’s afraid to tell the truth to its viewers. No longer a news organization, just a partisan panderer. Via NYT nytimes.com/2023/02/26/opini…
@JoeNBC: this AM’s coverage of the Ohio rail disaster ignored these big issues while focusing on human interest. Keep your eye on the ball! Institutional issues at base of most of our problems. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
Hope much American history do Americans know? Not much, according to Republican pollster @FrankLuntz. Here’s a map of where people are best informed.
So, @morningmika, how is @KnowYourValue going to help girls and women who work in #Walmart, on the factory floor, or in other entry level positions to resist the rampant sexism and racism aimed at them? Where are you in helping them take the first steps?
In today's #NewYorkTimes, @paulkrugman writes about the ways US policy benefits #ruralAmerkca despite the lies saying cities and suburbs dominate. This op-ed column is worth your time to read and think as you let politicians use you for their purposes.

Because #JimJordan and #MattGaetz were rightly rejected from the January 6 committee, #SpeakerMcCarthy has refused to seat and #Democrats from the important #JudiciaryCommittee. Some may think it similar, but there's no excuse for banning legal minds like @RepRaskin!
What did @morningmika and #KnowYourValue have to sacrifice in order to reap the big bucks #AbuDhabi must be paying to get this important meeting on @Arab sand? Wasn't the #WorldCup bad enough? Will there be any #Jews there?
Have you been noticing the high incidence, as well as annoying repetition, of drug ads on TV? Ever gone to your doctor to request prescription for one? Take a read at this article I caught from @NumlockAM.
