One Paragraph Movie Review – Martian
Very predictable, but mildly entertaining. Many better ways to spend your time, but if you’re really tired or something, you could do worse.

John Adams – David McCullough
I’ve read several of McCullough’s books – The Great Bridge, Truman, Johnstown Flood. Always enjoyed them. I’ve been struggling a bit with this one. I don’t think it’s the book, I think I’m just tired of the subject. I just finished a biography of George Mason and another of George Washington, so the information is getting repetitive.
Few tidbits about the book……

Sing Out! – Broadside Magazine
Check them out here.
Sing-Out! was an important publication in the 60’s. It was a primitive, homemade-looking magazine, consisting of only a few pages per issue. However, it is a wonderful document of the politics of the time and the role folk music played. Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs and many, many others contributed. Blowin’ in the Wind is featured in Issue #6.
Really enjoyable to read all these years later. Thanks to Sing Out! for making it available for free.

Glen Fry – Take It Easy
Glen Frey of the Eagles died the other day. I was never a big fan, but everybody likes the Eagles at least a little. They had some really catchy tunes.
