George McGovern, Food for Peace administrator, 1961 This is just a fascinating connection that I had never considered before: In 1996, Ananya Vajpeyi, a doctoral student, discovered the fabled South.
Here is the list of movies I watched this year. And I mean movies. I don't want TV. By and large, I find the modern TV revolution tremendously frustrating. Why.
This is the grave of Levi Stubbs. Born in 1936 in Detroit, Stubbs grew up in a musical family. His older brother sang, sure, but his cousin was Jackie Wilson..
This is the grave of Anne Rice. Born in 1941 in New Orleans, Howard Allen Frances O'Brien smartly went by Anne. Who the hell names their daughter Howard? Is this.
Jimmy Carter has died. Carter was a pretty bad president and then one of the two greatest ex-presidents, along with John Quincy Adams. He’s become something of a beloved figure.
I haven't really seen much live music in Mexico and Oaxaca is not exactly a town where Mexicans bands play a lot. But I have watched a couple of music.
This is the grave of Torrie Zito. Born in 1933 in Utica, New York, Salvatore Zito grew up in an Italian-American family, in case the name wasn't clear enough on.
