Saluting him - yet again - when his birthday comes

Round up the usual suspects: Here's pix from the 10th Annual Dylan Celebration, which went down at Union College's Old Chapel Thursday night:




Admittedly pix were an afterthought for me that night: I spent most of the evening listening and hanging with friends. Fancy that. Wish I'd swapped out the zoom for the wide angle, gotten a nice overhead shot of the room, included more of the performers on the bill, blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda, life goes on.

While I'm sharing: I dug up this rehearsal of the song I performed, captured with the little MP3 recorder about a month ago.

Props again to Dale, Mr. Eck, Mr. Haymes, and everyone else who kicked my butt that night.

Master Teacher

Erykah's New Amerykah is killing me. In a good way.

new amerykah

In particular the zen of Master Teacher, a brilliant collaboration with Georgia Anne Muldrow:
A beautiful world I'm trying to find...

I stay woke.
Damn. Stay woke, y'all. No glitter. No beeper.

The junior senator from the great state of New York:
american gothic"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on," she said in an interview with USA TODAY. As evidence, Clinton cited an Associated Press article "that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again, and how whites in both states who had not completed college were supporting me."
Can you call it a dog whistle if it's this loud?

Excellent analysis here and here and here and here and especially here.

And some music to lose your mind to.
