...with Bela on zither banjo, Coffin on flute, "Future Man" tapping a Spanish percussion box and Victor Wooten on cello. The final piece encapsulated the best thing that this concert offered--a chance to see some really down-to-earth guys play some incredible music while making the audience laugh all along...
...another corporation. Some might ask if we have a choice. Of course we have a choice, it's just that often the choice is between compromising either our ideals or our standard of living--and everyone understandably wants both. What bothers me, though, are those audience members who laughed in commiseration with Gibbons and forgot about him a moment after leaving the theater.

I needed to read for my history paper but didn't get to. I didn't get to because one rich college kid died 70 years ago and more to the point, because someone somewhere still cares. Never mind the fact that the University irreverently uses the sanctuary as a reception venue for presidential fundraising events...
