As DadBlogger so pointedly asked, what's up with all the CD links, anyway? Answer: the amazon.com item-specific connects in the right-hand column (you'll see them as you scroll down) are carefully-considered favorites from a long-time music hound, former DJ, radio station music director and amateur musician (me). No filler on these CDs. Click through on any listed item and see amazon customer comments, and access audio samples.

Music matters to me. I believe that politics and culture are inextricably linked. Young and middle-aged conservatives (and I count myself in the latter category, with some qualifications) are reaching each other and driving U.S. politics partly because they're not the white-bread Church Ladies that liberal fossils imagine.

So listen to some old Johnny "Guitar" Watson, some Derek Trucks, Robert Randolph, Sun Ra, Boyoyo Boys, and Natacha Atlas, while you're reading The Weekly Standard and City Journal......

We'll get into jiggy Islamist dance tunes another time. Or actually, see the item below!

And down the line maybe we'll have the whole "content delivery" discussion (i.e. downloading off the Internet, iPods, etc.).

Butcha know what? It's the content itself, not the delivery system, that rules. Add comments.

QUALITY ASSURANCE on book links, too. What I've begun posting here - right above the CD buy links - will be arresting reading, if you like Rosenblog.
