this was one of my cooler weekends as I went to Hartford, CT to witness the Richard Dawkins roadshow. It
was a Q & A session with NYT science writer, Carl Zimmer. And last night, my first house concert, an intimate
acoustic evening with Festus, Missouri's Bottle Rockets. On the surface Dawkins and the Brox don't seem to
have much in common but as I view them with the aid of a venn diagram, I see at the intersection that a
couple of things stand out: a commitment to things that are true, and human. Both have been in the battle for
decades and both show no signs of succumbing to what is safe and popular. Here's the request that the Brox granted me last night:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGyDdrrhvWYPeter T.
