I took this photo of legendary Australian folk-singer, Margret Roadknight for her first album way back in 1975. It thrills me that 50 years later she is still getting mileage out of it, with this lifetime achievement award from the Australian Folk Music Awards. Belated congratulations, Margret!

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
