And he's right, we all need to do our best to stand up to those who would destroy others for their own profit.<br /><br /><object width="420" height="245" id="msnbc86deac" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640"><param name="FlashVars" value="launch=38353508&width=420&height=245"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="wmode" value="opaque"><embed name="msnbc86deac" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" width="420" height="245" flashvars="launch=38353508&width=420&height=245" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="opaque" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object><p style="font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 420px;">Visit msnbc.com for <a style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com">breaking news</a>, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032507" style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;">world news</a>, and <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032072" style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;">news about the economy</a></p>Ed McKeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767520306585909279noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318406227111514879.post-45066699535397340162010-01-27T12:13:00.002-05:002010-01-27T12:19:46.022-05:00Billy Bragg vs the bankers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4eyA1CyHa1g8HwvOr81lxmWxmVieVfxz61KnnrcGKe_UqRttdJXf2aUrEg70mEU-qhWxeuRCUwcwwj7GkKs0iwieRJT_Z9wFgHZDIX3dBQo15pbYC2hKM17aw22-Weg5DYxWz5VDIVJg/s1600-h/Billy+Bragg+-+Talking+with+the+Taxman+(front).jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4eyA1CyHa1g8HwvOr81lxmWxmVieVfxz61KnnrcGKe_UqRttdJXf2aUrEg70mEU-qhWxeuRCUwcwwj7GkKs0iwieRJT_Z9wFgHZDIX3dBQo15pbYC2hKM17aw22-Weg5DYxWz5VDIVJg/s200/Billy+Bragg+-+Talking+with+the+Taxman+(front).jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431470482184797586" border="0" /></a><br />Over in Britain, the general public is as outraged as we are here about bailed-out bankers receiving huge bonuses.

All right, (creepy) Joe, let's make yemenade out of Yemen!<br /><br />Never was a bigger chickenhawk ever hatched.<br /><br />And as the head of the Homeland Security committee, might it be presumptuous to suggest that Lieberman had failed in his duties because a Nigerian with an explosive dildo almost brought a jetliner down. If it wasn't for a brave lad from the land of licentiousness, Amsterdam, one would say that the Senate Homeland Security committee might have had some blood on its hands.<br /><br />But that's okay with Lieberman. A little blood bath, just like too little health care, is a good thing for his benefactors.Ed McKeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767520306585909279noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318406227111514879.post-27352827639489977822009-12-26T09:53:00.003-05:002009-12-26T15:59:10.567-05:00Vic Chestnutt, RIPA heroic story of a man overcoming incredible odds to create an amazing body of music, inside a broken body, ended Christmas Day <a href="http://www.courant.com/entertainment/la-me-vic-chesnutt26-2009dec26,0,1013060.story">when Vic Chestnutt committed suicide</a>.

Great players having a great time singing and playing originals and covers, mostly of the rootsy rock, rockin' country or pumped-up traditional variety.<br /><br />Last night they were joined onstage by acclaimed Boston singer-songwriter Mark Erelli, who enjoyed a sabbatical from being the "folksinger" so that he could trade leads on rockers with Chapdelaine, and so he could share band versions of some of his great tunes including "Compass and Companion," and his tragic take on the Hartford circus fire he calls "Hartfordtown." In between the band moved easily between Jimmie Rodgers, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard and Warren Zevon. During two extended jams, it was difficult to tell who was having more fun - the band or the audience.<br /><br />This regular gig has turned an off night for the Hartford eatery into a a busy night that has become an important staple of their week's income. On Monday the restaurant was fully booked out, with standing room only for latecomers.<br /><br />The Shinolas have made it a practice to invite friends onto their stage. Besides Erelli, they've hosted <a href="http://blogs.courant.com/eric_danton_sound_check/2009/06/al-anderson-joins-shinolas-for.html">Al Anderson</a>, John Pousette-Dart and Daisy Mayhem fiddler Rani Arbo. Chapdelaine hinted of a few surprise guests to come.<br /><br />While the wind whistled through the rest of Hartford's empty streets Monday, the joyful noise was warm and welcome inside Tapas.<br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oO7g-KBv6IY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oO7g-KBv6IY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>Ed McKeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767520306585909279noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318406227111514879.post-35714643077697421372009-11-15T12:37:00.003-05:002009-11-15T12:43:04.623-05:00The Bogmen are backI know they've been reuniting once a year for benefits, but rooting around in the Bogosphere on a rainy Saturday, I discovered that the that one of the greatest unappreciated bands ever, the <a href="http://www.thebogmen.com/">Bogmen</a>, has gone back into the studio to cut tracks for an EP to be released next year.

Merrick Alpert is a Democrat running against Chris Dodd for a spot on the Democratic ticket in the 2010 Senate race. I told Merrick he was tilting at windmills, and he told me that somebody had to do it. He's a bundle of contradictions. He admires Martin Luther King and the intelligence community. He's believes in the principles of the Democratic party but not in the "career politicians" who have bent the party to their will. He voted for Barack Obama, cried at his inauguration but is willing to say he's dead wrong about Afghanistan and Iraq. He's a realist, and a capitalist who has built two successful companies, but he's ready to follow the impossible dream of toppling a tottering incumbent. He's intriguing, so I decided to lend a hand and produced this:<br /><br /><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K0hc_yZuLr4&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K0hc_yZuLr4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Thanks to Bruce Zimmerman for the custom score, and to Glenn Orkin, Paul Nelson, Crystal Place and Todd Sanderson for production assistance.Ed McKeonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767520306585909279noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6318406227111514879.post-68820224270793971862009-11-04T14:27:00.001-05:002009-11-04T14:30:48.727-05:00The Pain in Maine Falls Mainly on the Gay'unsMarriage to someone of the same gender?
