Who Owns Responsibility In An Ownership Society?

October 28, 2008

FYI: I wrote the following in a meager attempt to try get something published on The Huffington Post Off The Bus section.  They weren’t interested in publishing it, but I spent too much time to just let it sit around going nowhere.  So here it is… In the last several weeks, we as a nation [...]

Blog Action Day: The Fight Against Poverty

October 15, 2008

The recent economic breakdown has left many people frighted.  Why? There is a natural tendency to fear hunger or sleep in a cold alley, at least here in the US.  The inability to feed, shelter or cloth yourself and your family keeps us working.  It is fair to state that Americans are evaluating what is [...]

September 24, 2008

I find it very difficult to write about music under the current circumstances.  Unless you have been stuck on a stranded island for the past several weeks, I think it is safe to assume that a majority in this country is glued to either the TV or the Internet trying to make sense of what [...]

1812 Overture and Independence Day

July 4, 2008

Ever wonder why the 1812 Overture is performed on the 4th of July?  Most classical musicians roll their eyes around this time of year, dust off their “1812 Overture chops,” and make some extra cash by performing the work everywhere across the country.

MySpace Rocks for Votes

July 1, 2008

Image via Wikipedia The power of social media never ceases to amaze me.  It pleases me even more when the medium is used in a win-win situation; in this case benefiting rock bands and our constitutional right as US citizens. MySpace and Rock the Vote have joined forces to empower the people.  The DemROCKacy competition [...]
