Much as I love to watch Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti dissecting the neoliberal elites as said elites fail to have answers for the problems they themselves caused, I must dissent from this interview conducted recently on Breaking Points:
Afternoon folks!
I've got a bunch of albums for you this week. Blues albums from Buddy Guy, Big Mama Thornton and Albert Collins and some blues-rock from Blues Image, Captain Beefheart and a British band, Vinegar Joe.
I will have to upload the last track of Buddy Guy's album Saturday night, since Youtube thinks I should wait 24 hours before uploading it.
Enjoy!
One thing that I can never get over is the arbitrary value that people put on a human life in this country. For example, when it's the death of a police officer on the job it's considered a big deal. But the death of a roofer on the job is barely even acknowledged.
When a couple people die from a terrorist attack it is headline news. But when tens of thousands of people die from lack of health insurance you get total silence.

Life sometimes feels as if one is living in a fairy tale or other work of fiction. Maybe because some of our favorite stories growing up were actually more complex than simply skipping down the yellow brick road.
