Runaway

Mr Little Jeans - Runaway


I loved this song since 8,000 views.  YouTube restricts playback from embedded players so head over to the link to view the music video.  I'm not sure why this isn't a chart-topper 'cause I dig it.



Spring ahead to summer

New Yorker fiction podcasts are short jaunts to the insides of another's brain.  This one is especially good.  Matthew Klam reads "The Point" by Charles D'Ambrosio.  Involving a precocious child, absent parents, a glamorous summer and twisted backstories in an otherwise picture-perfect seaside resort town.  Exactly my thoughts as well. Take a listen.

Flâneurs éclairés


Flâneurs éclairés March 19, 1965

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr marches the 50 miles from Selma to Montgomery with his wife Coretta and supporters.  This was the third attempt--the marchers were attacked by state and local police with clubs and tear gas previously on March 7, 1965, "Bloody Sunday," and did not complete an attempt March 9th to comply with a court injunction.  The march was finally successful with the protection of 2000 US Army soldiers.
