Song Of The Day: Dec. 13, 2018
You all know this wonderful song. The story behind this song, or more specifically, the man behind the song, is equally fascinating. From No Depression: Ric O’Barry, the founder and director of the Dolphin Project, was Neil’s best friend. O’Barry, with help from Neil and Stephen Stills, started the Dolphin Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated […]

Still a travelin’ troubadour some 40 years after he first released this song:

Best song ever about cricket? Since it’s the only one I know, it is for me:
Purzycki To Panhandlers: “Drop Dead!”
Let’s be honest: Mike Purzycki only represents people who come to Wilmington to build their already huge fortunes, but who don’t live here. People of substantial economic means who offend easily. People who apparently are offended by panhandlers. Not the circumstances that lead to the need to ask for money, but the people in such […]

Little Steven’s Underground Garage sent me here. From Sweden, with three chords:
With Friends Like These…
Another blatant example of different standards of ‘justice’ for different classes of people. Just look at all these luminaries rushing to provide character references for disgraced Wilmington Trust officer turned convicted felon Robert Harra, Jr.: A court filing Friday shows that those vouching for Harra include former Democratic Gov. Jack Markell, former Republican governor and […]
Well, Well, Well. 2018’s First Thru the Legislator-to-Lobbyist Revolving Door Is…
…this guy. What, you were expecting him to represent workers or the disadvantaged? Of course, Short was representing the interests of this association and other business interests throughout his career in Dover. Burying minimum wage. Cutting ‘unnecessary’ regulation. ‘Privatizing’ state giveaways to corporations. Doing Jack Markell’s (and Pete Schwartzkopf’s) bidding by killing progressive legislation in […]

How about an injection of spiky punk energy to close out the working week? BTW, this has nothing in common w/the Henry Mancini standard with the same name:

My journey into Fagenville led me to Sunken Condos, a pretty darn good album from 2012. More late Dan-esque certainly than The Nightfly. And, let’s face it, how can I resist any song with verse like this: ” “Today we were strollin’/By the reptile cage/I’m thinkin’: Does she need somebody/Who’s closer to her own age”?:
This Could Get AWKWARD…
…in the best possible sense. No one deserves this more than Park City Kathy, soon to be the Delaware State Auditor. Here’s the delicious story. Absentee Auditor Tom Wagner fires Kathleen Davies back in 2017, apparently b/c she was getting too ‘uppity’. By which he meant actually functioning as an auditor and performing audits. Davies […]

Let’s take one last listen to ‘The Nighfly’ before we move on. Wonder if there’s anything worth salvaging off of ‘Kamakiriad’…
