And yet people laugh at my friends and me when we go bowhunting for cow.

I read this article about 1/2 hour ago and since then I've got Peter Gabriel and Laurie Anderson chanting "Flying Birds … Scurrilous birds" running through my head.

When my kids were little they their own playlists on the iPod that we'd listen to in the car. When they were very young, I picked the songs. As they got older, when they'd hear a song they liked, they'd say, "Dad, put that on my playlist, ok?" As the years went on I also added songs that I liked and thought they…

Grapes of Wrath's "Now and Again" was one of my favorite records for a long time. I heard they're back together?
