the wolfman speaks

By
From a WLS Chicago air check in the 1970's:


In the Background = mor r+b riff with lyrics:

---Out on the road all night long
you know he'll play your favorite songs.
Here comes the Wolfman, Wolfman Jack-----

Hi, all of you Big Darlings
I'm going to get Funky! Nasty!
Weird! Crazy! Wild!
Out of Control!
In motion, Jelly, Flipped Out!
Ahhhh! Yeahhh! Ohhhh!

Where ever you are out there
We're gonna get into your soul!
I came to flesh WLS!
I'm gonna enjoy the whole two hours with you!
Let's get crazy!

Ahhh! Yes! Sure!
Run the Rivers!
Past the Rock of Gibraltar! Uhn!
With the Wolfman, in Chicago!!!

Kid O, I've been a big fan of your writing since I joined Kos and read your "One From the Heart" It's great to see you started your own place, and I'll definitly be stopping by.

I've noticed that music means a lot to you in that it provides context to a lot of your writing, and to be honest I think that is why I connect with much of what you have to say.

I'm a song writer and thought I'd pass along some information about my bands last album entitled "for now". The music involves a cello player, a mandolin player, a hand percussionist and me on guitar and vocals. I don't want to come off as some overbearing "music is my art" or even a glad-handing "music is my profession" kind of guy, because to be honest those types of people are the reason that I haven't been involved in actively pursuing a music career.

I just wanted to share some of my music. From one music fan to another.

Here's the link to our cdbaby site, and clips of all the tunes. I hope you like it.

a serious moment

By
I was really struck by this photo , which graced the cover of Tuesday's New York Times, showing Ariel Sharon, Condoleeza Rice and James Baker attending a memorial of the late Yitzhak Rabin in Israel. There's something in that picture...in Rice's face, jaw set, eyes hidden behind rockstar sunglasses...and how she is flanked on either side by two men who've played hard-ball power politics for decades: Ariel Sharon, peering beneath his furrowed brow and, always conscious he is being observed, gesturing and thinking...and James Baker, completely hidden behind a permanent dimplomatic mask, an impenetrable sphinx. Of course, that photo sends a powerful message to the world. Rice was in Israel to do serious business . The fact that she brought Baker with her meant that the full weight of the U.S. military-industrial complex... the old guard ...was with her. That trip to Israel was important; and I would guess that U.S. plans and actions regarding Syria were part of that

James Watson: racism alive and well in the USA

By
I've spent the last 24 hours reading as the fires ignited by Nobel laureate James Watson have spurred hundreds of racist comments on message boards across the world . The racial views espoused by Watson are not simply pernicious, they are unamerican. The premise that you could walk out your door in the United States and make the claim, with a straight face and in a public place, that you presume that someone is less intelligent than you because of the color of their skin or ethnic background is abhorrent. Watson claims that everyone with Black employees “knows that they are not the equals of Whites” and, somehow, that is supposed to be acceptable? We are supposed to take him seriously…as a scientist? I don’t think so. Watson is about to lose his job and what was left of his reputation. The equality of every citizen, respect for each other including our differences and a sense of the potential inherent in each and every citizen, especially our children, is essential to what it m

Sharks, Carp and Dolphins: applying a model from business to politics

By
From where I stand, it is encouraging to read essays expressing creative and critical ways to think about Democratic strategy in what is shaping up to be a significant election year.   Thereisnospoon has served up another solid challenge (always welcome) to Democratic assumptions...and bmaples addendem to that diary (including a nice summary of some thoughts from Markos) extended the idea of a  "broad assault" on conservatism that I (with many others) advocated in the wake of Katrina with flipping the rock . What I'd like to do with this essay is adapt a paradigm from the world of business strategy that I think applies to the Democratic party in 2006.  I think you'll find these ideas dovetail with the above essays, and, I hope, will prove useful tools for thinking about Democratic strategy in 2006... Dudley Lynch's 1989 book Strategy of the Dolphin: Scoring a Win in a Chaotic World divided business strategy into three competing paradigms:  that of Sharks, that
