Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”

Stuck Inside of Mobile…
Now the rainman gave me two cures
Then he said, “Jump right in”
The one was Texas medicine
The other was just railroad gin
An’ like a fool I mixed them
An’ it strangled up my mind
An’ now people just get uglier
An’ I have no sense of time
Oh, Mama, can this really be the end
To be stuck inside of Mobile
With the Memphis blues again
— Dylan

Brilliant. I endeavor to not watch the “news”, but every now and then I cruise through the various news show-grams. When did it happen that now everything is “Breaking News”?
Is “Broken” news. As in ‘LIES”.
I haven’t watched the news in many years. While I was still watching the lead story on the local 6 o’clock news one night was that a girl saw a snake in a vacant lot. They actually had an on-location reporter with shots of the vacant and snakeless lot being searched by firemen with serious looking cops standing by. That was the end for me.
If it’s news, it ain’t.
