Friday Fun Link – Bob Dylan Wins Nobel Prize for Literature

After the announcement, some were in favour, some were against and some were  surprised. As an English major, a music fan, a librarian and someone who’s worked in and still involved with book publishing, I have absolutely no issue with this choice – mostly because it means I got to see a Nobel Laureate in concert! 😉 […]

Friday Fun Link – An Exchange I Never Thought I’d Hear on CNN

This is exponentially the craziest election I’ve ever seen. People are observing that instead of an “October Surprise”, Donald Trump appears to have an “October Advent Calendar” with a shocking new revelation or error every single day.

Music Tuesday – “Going to the candidate’s debate/Laugh about it, Shout about it/When you’ve got to choose/Every way you look at it, you lose.”
