Yes, I despise and hate socialism. But occasionally it does something right, usually in harness with private liberty.
So here's the plug- a couple of weeks ago I happened to hear a bit of a Mountain Stage concert with Mary Chapin Carpenter. (Yes, another Bolshie, but I don't think the evil kind and very talented.)
But the music was so lovely I had to pull the car over- I was too breath taken to drive. I only heard a snippet.
So after asking Adam Harris if there was a way to listen and download, he informed me that there is, for just this week.
So thanks to all the government programs and lefties- Mountain Stage (the concert), NPR (the radio program), DARPA (the internets), AlGore (also the internets), Steve Jobs (this mac), Mary Chapin Carpenter and her band (the gorgeous music), whoever thought up mp3s, the taxpayers who provided all this stuff, and- gasp- Franklin R--sevelt (TVA).
You have gladdened the tiny heart of this eurocentric, gold standard missing, poor folk oppressing, stag, fox, & coyote hunting, gun owning, SUV driving conservative. Tears of joyful appreciation roll down my face as I listen.
Thank you, America.
Click here and you can listen too. "Here I am" spoke for me. "Elysium" made me gasp. And those piano arrangements...
