reflections, ruminations, ramblings and rants on music, books, beer, politics, technology, media, family, etc, etc. from a retired old man, music collector, librarian, political observer, technology geek, veteran, history buff, beer enthusiast, sci-fi fan, obsessive mixtaper and former DJ. I've also gathered writings from the past several years posted in various social media platforms. This blog has become an editing tool for my writings and everything here is a work in progress.

The Struggle Carries On... a mix
Another in my series of protest rock mixes. I had to post this today after watching the news and seeing Bush leading us into a second great depression. Corporate welfare indeed.

Title comes from a line in the Billy Bragg opener.
