If you know something of the history of "Christian Contemporary Music", this quote may be something of a revelation

A Wikipedia excerpt which reads:

The tune of "Champagne Charlie" became used for The Salvation Army hymn "Bless His Name, He Sets Me Free" (1881). When asked why the tune should be used like this, William Booth is said to have replied "Why should the devil have all the good tunes?"

In which The Economist notices something that many pundits are seemingly unaware of

There is no guarantee that Mexican-Americans in south Texas will behave similarly to Latino voters in mid-Atlantic states, whose Dominican, Salvadoran and Puerto Rican communities were formed by modern immigration rather than centuries-old settlement.

Just wanted to follow this up with the recommendation that, if you can't make it to Liberty Island anytime soon, the children's book "Lady Liberty : a biography" by Doreen Rappaport & Matt Tavares covers this (and more) remarkably well

The two ways I listen to music at work are Youtube and Bandcamp. Youtube takes this and turns it into a "Mix" and...yes, this is correct.

In "Arthur's Pet Business", one of Arthur's customers is inexplicably a human being. This book, of course, ignores the whole weirdness of talking animals having animal pets. Also, it was published a six years before the cartoon debuted.

@ryannorth.ca I think this may be one of The Most Dinosaur Comics panels of all time. It made me laugh so much, but I wonder if a newcomer would feel the same way, if that makes sense?
