At Gotham Acme , Howard Wolfson interviews Will Calhoun of Living Colour .
Q: Given how terrible things are in this country over the last eight years, what do you think that Barack Obama will be able to accomplish in the White House?
A: I still think a lot of it has to do with us. I think that Barack Obama can accomplish a lot of things in the White House but I think what’s important is the citizens of this country put pressure on him and demand things. We have to become involved. We can no longer be in the stands yelling ’shoot’ or ’swing’ or ‘don’t drop the ball.’ We have to get on the field now and put the pressure on Obama and Biden and everybody else – locals, our senators, and our mayors.

Yesterday’s post inspired some thoughtful responses - all of which I appreciate.
Toadie offered this observation: "You don’t really think that 90% of Americans actually believe in god, do you?. If that were the case we would be a much better nation than we are now."
There are Gallup polls out there that say 86% of Americans believe in God (close to Toadie’s 90%).

I also appreci... more

Hour interviews singer-songwriter Angela Desveaux .
Hour: What is the underlying story/theme behind the new record?
Angela Desveaux: The title track, The Mighty Ship, is a song about my grandmother losing her first husband at sea. She was quite young and had a three-month-old baby at the time.
