LINES OF THE DAY

". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15

". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153

First Solo Music Gig of 2011 Plus the Gulf Coast

El Vaquero writes:
my first solo concert of the new year will be next week, on february 17 at 7:30 p.m. in historic rock hall, maryland, which has a wonderful performance space called the mainstay.

it's part of a series of events at the mainstay that week in honor of new orleans. i admit, it wasn't my idea to call the event "oysters and ned sublette," but i think it's a fine name, and if i've gotta be second-billed, let it be to the great high-cholesterol fast food of colonial days. the plan is to have gulf oysters available at intermission, in support of the louisiana seafood industry.
