The snake on the plane returns to outrage and mockery. Plus: Smokey Robinson & Linda Ronstadt, Billie Holiday & Louis Armstrong, and a Texas tribute with everyone from Sheryl Crow to Jeff Bridges.
So glad to have discovered Between Rock and a Hard Place. Such a great mix of fascinating music history, humor and links to insightful journalism I would have missed otherwise—such as the Pulitzer Prize-worthy ProPublica article about a police shooting incident in Weirton WV that provides the best insight I have seen about how these tragedies happen and how the problems that sparked the BLM movement could be more effectively addressed. And perhaps most of all I love starting (or ending) my day by following the links Greg provides to the best live performances of songs from so many of my favorite artists and groups from the 1960s on.
Art Garfunkel has one of the purest voices of any popular music singer. In this version, one can really hear Mr. Garfunkel's talent - the track with him singing melody is beautifully separated -but also blended with Mr. Simon's equally fine harmony. Interesting back story.

Is the C-SPAN documentary on Upton Sinclair new? I remember watching a couple of documentaries about him some years back.
