“So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it.” – Aaron Copland
This is a good time to listen to music, the unfamiliar as well as old favorites. Here’s a song I’m listening to as I write on my blog. Gary Clark Jr. is the singer. I wasn’t familiar with him until I saw him live at the Mountain Jam summer concert a few years ago. He and the late Tom Petty closed out the day and no one was disappointed. Especially me, but that is another story.

I'm a long-time socialist and activist, but new to the blogging world. I hope to bring a different perspective on politics, sports, culture, and Marxism. Besides blogging, I also leave plenty of time for swimming, hiking, ESPN, music, reading, drinking good beer, and, not least, my family and friends. I wish I could play basketball, but my knees ruled out that possibility long ago.
While I currently reside in New York, my politically formative years were spent in Portland, Me. and Detroit during the 1970s and 1980s. I graduated from St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia (where I played basketball) and received a MA in economics from the University of Connecticut.
I was the national chairperson of the Communist Party, USA from 2000 until 2014 when I stepped down at the convention. In 2016 I resigned from the Communist Party two years later. We were no longer on the same page.
