+ You will need to scroll down to that rock'n'roll list I mentioned on Facebook.
+ Still thinking about the Election. I just added the following comment at http://www.shuckandjive.org/2010/11/day-after.html.
It seems to me that the last time the Democrats really acted like Democrats on most issues was the 1960s. Sadly, Viet Nam got in the way of the significant reforms of that era so that The Great Society only got partially implemented. The Poverty rate was actually cut in half between 1960 and 1975, from 23 per cent to 12 per cent.
A massive national agenda of creating green energy and fixing our crumbling infrastructure would revive our economy but most of the people in power in both parties are overwhelmingly beholden to the status quo interests of the big corporations. Sadly, that includes Barack Obama who had raised hopes so much 2 years ago. But I still hold out a little hope that he can change course and begin to promote a new version of The Great Society -- very Green and very Just. Let's pray that he and other Democrats see the Light and give America a vision we can believe in.
+ Here is a list of twelve of my favorite Rock'n'Roll artists. This is subject to change as I think about it.
The Who (Pete Townshend is a creative genius and he really rocks)
Todd Rundgren (HEALING is an amazing album)
The Grateful Dead
The Beatles (particularly John Lennon)
U2
Kate Bush (bold and imaginative)
Enter the Haggis (Delicious Celtic Rock)
The Cranberries
Bob Dylan
Marina and the Diamonds (The Diamonds are Marina's fans)
Fleetwood Mac
World Party
+ Here is a link for election results in the Utica area > http://www.wktv.com/news/politics/decision-2010/DECISION-2010-ELECTION-RESULTS.html
Republicans won some races. Democrats won some races. Progressive Democrats can win in our area. I hope to see a Progressive Democrat representing us in Congress in the not-too-distant future.
