A musical tribute to Melissa and Mark Hortman At 8 a.m. on the morning of Wednesday, Aug. 6, the Hortmans’ children, Colin and Sophie, joined The Current’s Morning Show to share songs and stories that embody their parents’ spirit and memory.

Here is a great interview with a radio station the Hortman family listened to growing up. Their kids tell stories about their parents' favorite artists and songs, how the couple met, etc.

Why do you appreciate unions?

I’ll start:

Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

I seriously think the Social Internet is 21st century cigarettes. Complete with secondary smoke causing a lot of harm in nonusers.

Dolly Parton, Queen of the World, how in the name of all that is good do you play with those nails? If my left hand gets more than half a millimeter of nails, my fingers get the CRANKIEST on the fretboard. How you do it, Appalachian Siren Goddess Creature?

Uncontroversial Opinion, but important reminder that American IV: When the Man Comes Around is one of the greatest albums of all time and you probably haven’t listened to it recently enough.

Well, I went to a family reunion/aunt-uncle wedding anniversary in Indiana and the fireworks show was tonight. As everyone was ambling back to their cars about a million emergency vehicles showed up and we found out there had been a shooting. And I guess I’m just processing that here in the internet

Everyone has valid TSwift opinions except for the people who keep saying “ugh - sounds like something a high schooler would write.”
Y’all.
She called the album “Tortured Poets Department”. Is that not a giant waving tongue-in-cheek flag saying “melodrama ahead” ???
Wild.

A frame from the comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes” where the classes yells “Bats aren’t bugs” at Calvin.

Just thinking about how "Brand New Day" from The Wiz is one of the greatest songs from a musical and actually just wait... The Wiz is ... so great.

I do not like celebrating the death of people, but I will celebrate that her Weekend at Bernie’s ass is out of the senate. I think that’s fair.
