I really miss the Third Street Saloon, which closed about five or six years ago.

It always had a decent number of patrons, though I'm told the owner got himself into other personal problems that...

I've often thought the English north country bears some striking and horrifying similarities to the American "rust belt." It's oddly appropriate how folks from that part of England have also embraced...

It has been too long since I've visited the DFT. They always have something interesting playing, and Elliot Wilhelm is the sort of guy who can talk about movies [[and keep the conversation...

Hah!

I think Seger jumped the shark with "Stranger in Town." That album was very bland and white bread, and he only became more middle-of-the-road from there on out.

I think it's pathetic that Obama and the rest of the Democrats have turtled on the Patriot Act for the same reason they supported it in the first place: not wanting to look weak on foreign policy and...

It's true that the process for crafting American legislation is horribly inefficient and dysfunctional [[largely a process of the nightmarish two party system and the way in which the legislature is...

The Washington Post is only left-leaning when compared to Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Washington Times. THAT is a truly partisan paper, if ever one existed.

The WaPo has drifted further and further...

You want a perfect portrait of what's wrong with the ethical priorities of the journalism biz as it relates to politics? Apparently Congress had a debate about Afghanistan yesterday, and hardly ...

Sad truth. I find it more ironic when the baby boomers lecture my generation about being shallow,...

Sorry for my belated reply. I've been away for months, busy with other things.

Yeah, that's a general failing of mine on a lot of fronts. I have a tendency to adopt a lecturing tone, even when...

Bumping this thread, because I found more audio from Frantic Ernie and Famous Coachman.

The website Radio Free Amsterdam has two recorded Frantic Ernie shows. You can listen to the first one for...

Damn straight, skippy. Kids today need more funk in their diets. :cool:

I've made a fairly concerted effort to understand black culture and history in the United States, but I'll admit my understanding of African history [[notwithstanding ancient Egypt and the horrors of...

Here's a neat little commentary on the subject, provided by H2G2.

For those unaware, H2G2 is the BBC-online project to recreate the "standard repository for all knowledge and wisdom" on the BBC...

And now, a competing view.

It's bizarre watching this film, created for and based on the General Motors exhibit at the 1939 World's Fair, knowing how the world actually...

If it's bullshit, then why were Firestone, Standard Oil of California, Phillips, General Motors, Federal Engineering, and Mack found guilty of conspiring to monopolize the provision of parts and...

I'll elaborate for further perspective. Yes. I'm a white guy. Here's a discussion I had with my friend William, on our mutual love of Soul Train.

I think the problem is that you're trying to define yourself by opposition to white people.

That's a "no" philosophy. It's a non-starter.

It's not enough to say what you don't want to be. You...

This thread makes me very very happy.

Glad to see people are keeping the history of jazz and Detroit alive.

You probably already know this, but I've read Guy Lombardo often played shows at...

It's ironic you should choose this wording.

The vast majority of major cities in OECD nations are run via the ward system.

An at-large council only works if a city has a very strong NIMBY...

Here's an exact quote from Crain's Detroit Business:

Which brings us to this passage:

A lot of white people from different regions of metro Detroit have different accents as well.

Listen to someone from Oakland County, and then talk to someone from downriver. You'll often notice a...

And that is why I reject the central economic assumptions of Libertarianism. Market values must never be allowed to dictate social policy. I hold it akin to the separation of church and state.
