Giving to Good Will
When, how, and why did George Will turn Whig from Tory? A welcome development from my perspective, and it seems several years old, the change, but I wonder how and why. Nice review of a book I need to get, too.

Before the Bell Tulls - Best Classical Rock Performance
Before I die, God, please allow me to play all of Glenn Cornick's Bach bourree-bolstering bass guitar on this most excellent adaptation of a "classical" composition by a rock-era band (Jethro Tull). Yes, to play all the way from the traditional opening through the jazz and hard rock adaptation breakouts, and back again to the traditional. (But it's ok to skip the bizarre gas masks at the very end of the videoish thing from the pre-video hippie era.)
