For the folkies

He's singing about theistic evolution, so he must be one of those appeasers…but since he's funny, I'll forgive him.

I just received a very threatening email from Dave Mabus. Dave is a christian who is rabidly anti atheist. As a person he is about as pleasant as a bad rash and as an intellect he makes a walnut look smart. Very few people send me truly threatening emails and get away with it for long. Remember…
This is becoming a regular series, isn't it? It wasn't intended as such. Rusty's latest salvo deals with a couple of questions. It started with his post concerning the Understanding Evolution website, and one section of that site in particular, which advised teachers on how to answer the common…
Joseph Farah's ignorant ravings about Tiktaalik roseae weren't the only ridiculous anti-evolution arguments in the Worldnutdaily yesterday. Ted Byfield may actually have topped Farah for sheer imbecility in this article called, with great delusion, Rebutting Darwinists. It was a response to readers…
As part of my one-man media blitz for my new book Among the Creationists: Dispatches From the Anti-Evolutionist Frontline, let me call your attention to a few posts. P. Z. Myers has posted a nice review.: What do you do on airplanes? I usually devour a book or two, usually something popcorny and…

Cute. I am sending this to all of my born-again friends with a sense of humor. Both of them!

Chris Smither is one of America's best songwriters, with a distinguished career going back to the mid-60s Boston-Cambridge scene. Check him out...

Ha! Humor and talent trumps logic!

Actually, I got the impression that he was poking fun at theistic evolution rather than appeasing. But, I only listened to it once, maybe I missed the subtlety...

Man, I saw this guy in concert a couple of years back. It was a great show.

I felt like throwing my guitar in the dumpster afterwards. He is an absolutely phenomenal fingerpicker.

Hmm. An anthropology student that got kicked out for missing classes due to too much time spent playing guitar. That might explain it. Ref: his Wiki article.

Wish I could find the lyrics to that one somewhere. I missed several bits. I'd pay to hear him play, to be sure.

Mmm mm. Nuthin I like better'n historical comedy. Unless it's good talkin blues. Unless it's both.

Does anybody know of Jamie Brokett, who I used to see at free shows he occasionally gave at UNH?

His whole new album (from which Origin of the Species comes) Leave the Lights On is a gem. As is everything else he does.

Man, if you remember Jamie Brocket, you must be as old as me!? I still have an LP of his and he was great. I remember The USS Titanic became his standby that was so intense he was exhausted by the time he'd finish it.

Jamie Brocket's 'Legend of the USS Titanic' is alive and
well in the digital age. A CD of that antique LP- called
'The Wind and Rain' was recently released. A comic cultural
gem that is part of my mental DNA...(as it were). A high
octane-manic-revisionary put-on, in good company with
Smithers wry re-reading of Genesis. And "the captain's out
cold on the wheel-house floor", still.
