So lots of people have been talking about this Jay-Z video, Blue Magic. Mainly, they are pointing out the fact that he’s flashing Euros. Being hip-hop’s poster-boy of the most successful hustler, showing Euro’s probably signifies that Jay’s committed himself to surviving. Mayhaps he’s sending a message to all the rest of [...]

Saint John Hunt found me. He found my Stranger Than Holy Wood(y) article and left a brief comment several months back. I decided to e-mail him back, since his father’s deathbed revelations about the JFK assassination were still quite fresh in the media-sphere. Saint John and I struck up a correspondence [...]

I’m nearly finished reading historian James Billington’s book Fires in the Minds of Men and it’s been quite an education.

On the basis of Terry Melanson’s recommendation awhile back, I’ve tracked down a copy of Woodrow Wilson Center historian James H. Billington’s Fire in the Minds of Men: Origins of the Revolutionary Faith.
