"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." - Carl Schurz

"The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there was time." - George Sutherland
"Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe." - Edmund Burke

Envy

I have yet another reason to resent living in Phoenix.

Bonnie "Prince" Billy is touring in support of his new album, The Letting Go, which is easily one of the best albums of 2006 so far. Unfortunately, like most good acts, he will not be coming to Phoenix. San Francisco gets not one, but two shows: October 30th and 31st. MD and The Bear, to be sure, will attend at least one. I will be green with envy.

Here is what I've been listening to:

  1. The Gothic Archies: The Tragic Treasury: Songs From a Series of Unfortunate Events
  2. Bob Dylan: Modern Times
  3. Ali Farka Touré: Savane
  4. Oh No! Oh My!: Oh No! Oh My!
  5. Cold War Kids: Robbers & Cowards

what really sucks is that he's playing at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur the weekend before. i didn't know about it until it was already sold out.
