Damn Right You Should Listen to the Blues!

 Muddy Waters was always playing in the pool room of EHS.

“The blues ain’t nothin’ but a good man feelin’ bad,” according to “Negro Blues,” penned in 1913.

There’s no question about the “feelin’ bad” part. The genre is defined by its twelve-bar tune with the distinctive flatted third and seventh notes on the major scale (producing the “blue” note) coupled with lyrics of misery, injustice, and even sometimes self-loathing. One might, however, question the “good man” part. King of the Delta Blues Robert Johnson was a philanderer who allegedly made a deal with the devil. The lyrics of lustful Muddy Waters are laced with sexual double entendres. Charlie Patton was incarcerated for fighting with his wife. Even if the “good man” part is a bit of a stretch, the blues — manifested in its style, honesty, and humility — is indeed good. And that goodness derives precisely from its Southern character.

URI Removing Murals Commemorating WWII Veterans for Lacking Diversity

Via Jeffery

“These murals were a snapshot in time, but the images no longer represent who we are today and where we are going in the future”

The people who are doing this must know they are judging the past by the standards of today. Which would mean they are intentionally trying to erase the past. It’s sickening.
Campus Reform reports:

The University of Rhode Island announced on Thursday its plans to remove several, almost seventy-year old murals from its student union for their lack of diversity.

The murals depict many unique scenes, including servicemen returning after the war, a class reunion, a university commencement ceremony, a beach scene, and students in a jalopy dressed in letter sweaters.

Arthur Sherman, one of those returning veterans and a member of the university’s class of 1950, painted the murals. He was asked to do so by the university in 1953 as the student union was being constructed. Dedicated in 1954, the “Memorial Union” was constructed with funds raised by returning veterans and local community members.

URI’s Vice President of Student Affairs, Kathy Collins, defended the decision, citing concerns over the murals’ impact on students of color.

Comments from Tennessee Stands: AdHoc Committee Hearing 9/03/2020

It is Time for Us to Quit Carrying the Chains that Bind Us. It is Time for Us to Quit Supporting the System Which is Enslaving Us. It is Time to Water the Tree of Liberty With the Blood of Patriots and Tyrants.

 

Someone asked me, “What if Biden wins in November because we didn’t vote for Trump?”

My answer to that is, history proves and human nature holds true that the only time people are motivated to change is when the turmoil and pain of change is better than the current state of affairs.

Right now I don’t think many people are happy with how our country is at this point in time.

As long as we continue to vote for the lesser of two evils the best we can ever hope for is the status quo. But evil and the power hungry will never settle for status quo, they will always want even more power.  We are losing ground by continuing to play their game, on their terms.

Atlantic Editor Concedes Central Claim Of Trump Hit Piece Could Be Wrong

Despite conceding that the cancellation due to weather might be true, Goldberg stood by his story about President Trump’s trip to the cemetery, claiming that “the public’s interest in meeting this information outweigh the ambiguities or the difficulties of anonymous sourcing” and that he will “be continuing to make that effort to move this material directly onto the record.”

On Sunday, Atlantic Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg admitted the White House’s account that President Trump’s trip to a cemetery of fallen World War I soldiers in France in 2018 was modified due to bad weather is probably accurate.

“I’m sure all of those things are true,” Goldberg told CNN in an interview on Friday when asked to respond to evidence a story he published saying otherwise is false.
