Project MERCATOR
'Tis a busy social weekend, which has already seen me attend not one but two ska shows last night & participate in an outing to the F.I.A. (the museum, not the motorsport governing body) this morning. This morning! Who visits an art museum on a Saturday morning? Neptune's trident, that's my morning to sleep late! *grumble grumble* And tonight? Roller derby! My first away game, though in this case that means journeying only as far "away" as Mount Morris, where the Flint City Derby Girls will visit the Mid Michigan Derby Girls.

The Blues Brothers, "Rubber Biscuit" (live) from Briefcase Full of Blues (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: It's pledge drive time on N.P.R., both "Michigan Radio" (WUOM/UFUM) & WKAR. Which means, due to the inadequacy of commercial radio, that it's cassette tape time in Lumi. First tape to be selected, Briefcase Full of Blues by The Blues Brothers, beyond question one of the finest albums I own. It is interesting that the pledge drives come in the midst of the imbroglio over N.P.R.'s dismissal of Juan Williams, former host of Talk of the Nation, but that's best discussed in a "Lies, Damned Lies, & the News" post, not here in the home of the R.B.D.S.O.T.D.
