Open Thread - The New Year Weekly Watch
Submitted by Lookout on Sun, 01/01/2017 - 5:18amHAPPY NEW YEAR!
A New Year
William Arthur Ward
Another fresh new year is here …
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest …
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!
Sunday Afternoon Album: Blues, Blues, Blues - Jimmy Rogers & Friends
Submitted by enhydra lutris on Sun, 01/01/2017 - 3:00amSome Albums really stood out for one reason or another, but never seemed to get the recognition they deserved. This is one.
Naturally, this is an open thread too.
I'll be out most of the afternoon, sorry, but enjoy yourselves.
Disability Caucus Open Thread 12/31/16: Nothing 'Brings Me Joy'
Submitted by The Aspie Corner on Sat, 12/31/2016 - 4:46pmMaybe my wife is correct, maybe not. My very low key personality and neurotic depression (Dysthymia) make people think I don't feel joy in anything. Give me a break. Generally speaking I don't go nuts when I see something new like, say, the new Star Trek series coming out this year. Doesn't mean I'm unexcited for the possibilities I suppose, but I'll just have to wait and see if the fact they're keeping it cbs.com exclusive will shoot it dead before it can even get off the ground.
Saturday Song - Stagger Lee, Stack-O-Lee, etc
Submitted by enhydra lutris on Sat, 12/31/2016 - 3:49pmHey, it's songday. Today I pick a song that I believe warrants it and publish an assortment of the covers of that song by various persons and or groups. Pick a few that are new to you and have a listen. It is also, of course, an open thread to talk about anything you feel like.
Today's song is: Stack O' Lee, Stack A Lee, Stagger Lee, etc.
Remember this R&R hit? The studio execs actually found it controversial & demanded some edits.

Open Thread - Saturday December 31
Submitted by Goin South on Sat, 12/31/2016 - 5:06amStaughton and Alice Lynd are two extraordinary activists still busy doing good in their 80s. More than five decades ago, Staughton was teaching history at Yale, publishing and progressing steadily toward tenure, but his activism was getting in the way. It might have been acceptable to have been a member of SNCC and a key organizer of the Mississippi Freedom Summer.
