Do yourself a favor if you don't already follow the hijinks of the Otterloop clan, check it out absolutely free online . Seriously,...

Pioneers over Fifty- Part Seven - Jarvis Cocker

If, as I BELIEVE, Damon Albarn should be knighted then so should this chap. Jarvis Cocker. Not a name I suspect that is well known outside of England but nonetheless a huge talent. Besides, anyone who can run on stage during a Michael Jackson performance at a Brit Awards ceremony to protest at the ludicrous posturing of said Mister Jackson, with all his obvious talens, deserves a slap on the back....

How much do other feelings cost? --

What is the cost of national pride? Apparently about $2 million, if the figures given by the Sports Company of T&T are anything to go by. I had thought it was $18,000 because that was the figure given by Sport Minister Gary Hunt the day before.

Engaged – and Engaging – Scholarship – Paul Butler’s Let’s Get Free

I am thrilled to be back at Concurring Opinion – thanks to Solangel, Dan and the other regulars for having me. The timing of this visit is propitious for me – I am returning from a policy-focused (and surprisingly non-academic) sabbatical and I have been thinking a great deal about how best to stay engaged in policy/politics while also returning to academic culture. The worlds of advocacy...

Front a little Snazz: Chrome, Stealth, Center Caps and More

Do you always walk to the beat of your own drummer? Do you dread the thought of conforming like the sheeple around you, but get flak for thinking differently? “The best thing you’ve got going for you is individuality,” said Richard Thompson, a British musician, who can play a mean guitar. You can listen to your [...]

Jesus in a manger censored after 63 years

See the first case at Tax payer funded US Forest Service bans "Jesus" decorations from students on Capitol "Christ"mas tree and Video report on tax payer funded US Forest Service attempt to silence religious ornaments on Capitol Christmas Tree. WND.COM reports on the second case out of Michigan. As Freedom from Religion...

Hanging on the Telephone

You know, much as I love him, I don't, generally speaking, really think of Richard Thompson as a powerpop guy. Which is one reason I just dig the hell out of this 1998 RT live version of "She May Call You Up Tonite," my third favorite song on The Left Banke 's classic and genre-defining 1966 album. I've actually got a live tape -- which I may post one of these days -- of my 90s band doing...

Loud and Rich

I was lucky enough to see Loudon Wainwright III and Richard Thompson at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor Michigan last night. Simple premise - acoustic - Loudon, both, interval, RT then both as encore. I dont have much familariry with LW - a live album and a vague memory of the Jasper Carrott Show - in forty five minutes he played only one song I knew (a Joe henry cover) but every song was a cativating...

Decade's end: The Year 2001

Paris photo by Stuck In Customs We know 2001 as a demode Michael Bay movie come to life. Literally, a few hours when we thought civilization was ending, or at least that is what it seemed like here in Washington. I don't like documentaries about that day because they always begin with how pretty the weather was and how la dee da... and then you know what is coming and you can't do anything about it....

RT solos for lambretinha

This is the blurb from Free Reed about 'Shine In The Dark', the third album in the RT boxed set: There is a special magic in the way Richard on stage will transform a song into an epic performance on stage, through an astonishingly inventive guitar improvisation. For the first time, some of his finest guitar workouts are brought together on one CD in a set of performances which can only be called breathtaking....

First Manger Scene Fight of the 2009 Christmas Season

Well, here we go again. Every year it’s the same story. John Satawa’s family has displayed a nativity scene on a street median in Warren, Mich., virtually every Christmas season since 1945, but following an intimidating letter sent by the Freedom from Religion Foundation, Satawa’s county has put stop to the 63-year-old tradition. The Wisconsin-based Freedom [...]
