Too Much is Never Enough

I may have to rethink my dislike of NPR, if they regularly come up with gems like this:

I believe in the art of generations of pit men working in relative obscurity to keep alive the craft of slow smoking as it’s been practiced for as long as there’s been fire. A barbecue cook must have an intimate understanding of his work: the physics of fire and convection, the hard science of meat and heat and smoke — and then forget it all to achieve a sort of gut-level, Zen instinct for the process.

Oh, yeah.

Conservative Rock

John Miller of National Review recently put together a list of the 50 greatest conservative rock songs, as recommended by NR readers. My submission, “Blood from a Stone” by The Hooters, didn’t make the cut.
My choice did, however, make the “encore list” of 50 additional songs Miller has put together. Check ’em out.
“All You Zombies,” also by The Hooters, might have been a good choice, too.
