Reminds me of all of the "farewell/fond memories" posts on National Review Online when Joe Strummer (The Clash) died.
W.F. Buckley's protege's - all misty-eyed about a leftist British musician (I was, too).
Yeppir. Like that. Melody (& poetry/ prose- or aesthetics) speaks to something within us that can be very different from our politics.
LOL Troublemaker! Now I have to listen to The Clash, which will invariably lead to a bunch of other people. Being Monday morning, this will surely lead to trouble. (needing to clean up the weekend debris, not add more)
Hope you have a great day!
