I suddenly feel motivated to listen to and share songs by the iconic American artist Bruce Springsteen. This song off his superb Wrecking Ball album is especially appropriate for Good Friday and rings true in troubling times. youtu.be/qPmIIXXv0d8
Happy First Day of Spring! Name that tune!
I’ve always believed the best way to accomplish regime change would be to flood the country with aid and engagement. Cuba would have flipped decades ago if we’d done that.

March 9 is not a good date for the band, Boston. Two lead singers… The legendary Brad Delp took his own life on March 9, 2007, and now on March 9, 2026, Tommy DeCarlo has died of cancer.
I can remember when North Hall became Langston Hall, named for John Mercer Langston, and am glad to see there was recently an official dedication years later. If you don't know who he is, please click on the story.

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.
War was released 43 years ago today! Considering U2’s prolific discography, here are my top 5 favorite studio albums. Where is War in your rankings?
1. Achtung Baby
2. The Joshua Tree
3. War
4. All That You Can’t Leave Behind
5. How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

My Dad was inspired by Jesse Jackson’s message and was a delegate for Jackson’s 1984 presidential run. Years later, I attended Barack Obama's home state inaugural ball in 2009 and had the opportunity to say hello. An incredible life of service. We honor his legacy by continuing the good work. RIP.

$75 million Bezos shelled out as tribute to Trump for "Meliania" travesty could have paid a lot of journalists.

Irony is dead.
BREAKING: Eugenio Suárez and the #Reds are in agreement on a one-year, $15 million contract with a mutual option for 2027, per @JeffPassan.
GENOOOO IS BACK!
Bezos handed Trump $75 million for "Melania" then guts an institution important for holding him accountable. Democracy dies in oligarch hands.

What a terrible loss. RIP Catherine O’Hara

We no longer need wonder what it would have been like if citizens of Germany in the 1930s had phone cameras and attempted to document the atrocities. We’re there. Now.
