Whilst cruising 84 and 287, I reacquainted myself with A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres. Wow, I'd forgotten how good "Cinderella Man" was. And, the improvements in playing and recording from one to the other were palpable, too.

On the trip home, it'll be Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures.

Ok, taking a fresh listen to Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures after several years was huge. It goes without saying that Bubba's writing is second to none in many circles, but I'm continually amazed how relevant and timeless it can be. In particular, Witch Hunt:

Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
and fear walk hand in hand.

This reminds me of the rather bitter, partisan wrangling in the US Congress and Senate related to the budget crisis and raising the debt ceiling.
