Instead of bemoaning the fact that I don't get to sing with groups of people anymore I have gone out and created my own event at a small local non profit. If you're in the area come sing with us. Woody Guthrie says it's the best kind of conversation. #thorndikemill #woodyguthrie #carolsinging

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

New in PN: The regime wants to turn artists into performing monkeys
"Freedom of speech and freedom of expression is the right to criticize the ruler. But it’s also the right to not play jazz vibraphone if you don’t want to — not even if the ruler says you must for his greater glory."
