And unless we treat it like one — with boundaries, truth, and some actual spine — the damage won’t just linger.
It’ll spread.

Singer/songwriter Randy Newman looks back on his decades-long music career Ken Tucker reviews Robert Hilburn's biography of Newman, A Few Words in Defense of Our Country. Plus, we listen back to a 1998 archival interview with the Grammy Award-winning artist.

Actually, I see NPR’s Ken Tucker was ahead of me by a year with his book review, when he stated, “What I was struck by over and over as I prepared this review was how much Newman's work, ever since his debut in 1968, anticipates the times we're living through today” www.npr.org/2024/10/25/g...

Anyone else notice that Randy Newman’s ‘70’s songs seem like they were written for today’s Trump? Eg-Mr. President, Political Science, a Few Words in Defense of our Country, I’m Dreaming and the shocking, Rednecks. Commentary that we should have learned from!

Hopefully, all of the Tongass NF will continue to be part of America's wilderness, enjoyed by all, and not sold as part of pending SENR legislation - see map showing America's public lands to be sold, including big parts of the Tongass NF - tinyurl.com/3sye8dew.

We appreciated the beauty and abundant fish and wildlife of the Tongass NF (created by Pres. Theodore Roosevelt in 1907). It was my first visit to Alaska, and I cannot wait to return to Prince of Wales Island and more!

The famous Inside Passage of the Tongass National Forest within Alaska brought three generations of my family together for fishing and joy. You’ll see we joined with families of whales and bears for a beautiful time in nature.
