Allowable Diversions.
On the face of it, it may be kind of weird for a vegan like me to like an article about hunting but anyone who brings in Thomas Clarkson to talk about Quaker cultural values is someone I'll love to talk with. https://www.friendsjournal.org/allowable-diversions/ #Quaker
In which Dan and Tom finally get to do that episode focusing on Jean Shepherd. Listen as they go on about the man behind the story behind the movie that some folks will sit and watch for 24 hours. From creeping meatballism to the Red Ryder BB Gun to the myth of a man making myths. Enjoy.

When I began to realize how deeply I, a good liberal, held my unconscious racism, I was truly shocked.
But once I made it a priority, finding and deactivating the big chunks of that stuff was pretty easy. I probably won't ever be *done,* but it is a pleasure to deprogram myself.

Some 80 years ago, in a small North Carolina town, Eunice Waymon, a musically gifted, nine-year-old black girl, began taking piano lessons in the home of an exacting Englishwoman named Muriel Mazzanovich.
En jättebra dokumentär på SVT. Underlig historia som beskriver ansträngningarna i slutet av 1990-talet av två Kapstadsfans som försöker ta reda på om den amerikanska musikern Sixto Rodriguez som ryktas vara död var sant & om inte, ta reda på vad det hade blivit av honom.
Currently listening to Rodriguez's seminal album, Cold Fact. Re-released by Light in the Attic nearly 40 years after the fact, it's brilliance was finally recognized (outside of South Africa).

To honor Robbie Robertson's life, and to mark his recent demise, I can think of no better words than these, that I wrote some little time ago, and published at the Lexicon of Song: https://lexiconofsong.org/the-weight.html.

Possibly there were more sides to this.
& when you phrase it
(as someone more-or-less did)
