Jilted Democrats by Clay Jones I’m going to be accused, again, of being in Hillary Clinton’s camp. I’m not. In fact, there was a time I couldn’t stand her.

Liking one does not mean you have to hate the other. … [Read more...] about Cartoons: Jilted Democrats

Prince
I'm sixty-two. I probably listened to more of Prince than many people my age. How that happened was sort of happenstance. Prince's heyday was in the early- and mid-eighties. It was the era of big hair and MTV. I was listening a lot to U2, the Police, Stevie Wonder, a bit of Bruce Springsteen, with whom I became less enamored after Nebraska, and later, Bruce Cockburn.
