A taste of my road-trip mix tape

One new and 2 staples, although the staples tend to fluctuate between songs but the bands are pretty stable. The great thing about music and trips for me is to focus on an album for an entire trip. It has to be one that I am currently hooked on (so not an automatic for every trip). If I am able to have a single album for that trip then for years to come I have a teleporter to that trip. Pop the album in and and the trips feelings and emotions come right back to the surface.

Excellent - "Everlong" is my most favorite song of all time by any artist.

There is nothing new under the sun

 Pretty sure my tombstone will read, " Here lies a man who was happy to let those around him do the hard work " From the Daring Fireball again ( https://daringfireball.net/linked/2020/11/30/the-paranoid-style ) comes a link to a Harper's article from 1964 that reads like it could have been written last month.  I've had a sense throughout this ordeal (Trump presidency, 2020, pandemic - take your pick) when it seems like we are in totally new ground of craziness that it must have felt this way before.  Not many facts to base that feeling on, just bits and pieces.  Tweets about how the country reacted to the Spanish Flu in regards to race relations, that sort of thing.  History is trending upwards, I do believe that to be true, I just have to keep the faith.  Anyway, thanks to Gruber for posting this link, it makes me think we might be fine after all. https://harpers.org The Paranoid Style in American Politics

From the Atlantic - Research Proves It: There’s No Such Thing as Noblesse Oblige

Lots of thought provoking stuff in there.   The most interesting part of the experiment, Piff said, came after, when players were asked to talk about what they had done to affect the game’s outcome. The obvious answer was that the fix was in and the rich player got lucky. But the rich players were almost twice as likely as the poor ones to talk about game strategy—how they’d earned their win. And so it goes in the world. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/does-wealth-rob-brain-compassion/618496/
