Mar 2014

my vocal "radicalism" was rekindled by the presence of Bartcop and, of course, Media Whores Online. It was the first time in a long time that I had validation of many of my views. Although I hadn't read him for some time, it was the same for me when I had heard that Jean Shepherd had died and I realized that I had not listened to his work in the tail end of his radio days in the mid-70's. (Of course I went out and collected about 1100 of his radio shows to make up for that). I will take some time and read some of what I'd missed at Bartcop's site.
