Southern Comfort and Other Existential Thoughts
Hey everybody...Diane and I are just back from a great vacation to the southeast coast of the U.S.A.
Over the next couple weeks I'll be posting my travel and food reviews of Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC...and a few other commentaries on the south. So, check it out.
Meantime, I'm getting pretty excited about the upcoming CD from Manic Street Preachers to be titled Journal for Plague Lovers. Due out in a couple weeks, I'll be listening and reviewing soon.
Until these upcoming posts, remember...according to "St. Joe" Strummer, "if you're out there trying to collect the honey, don't go killing all the bees."
Know Your History Series
Most people - myself included - often view, judge and form opinions about news and events within the context of the present.
However, most things in this world tend not to happen "out of the blue," but rather either have a historical element that explains what is happening now or by delving into the history of whatever the subject is you can better understand present news.
With this in mind, I've written a number of "Know Your History" essays in which I attempt to add some perspective or context to what's happening today. Sure, it's my perspective, but at the same time I go out of my way to be factual.
Below are the entries in this series and you can read each one by simply clicking on the headline.
