This is not a music thread, but it is one where David Franks parks his "poetry." Mr. Franks isn't a regular member now, but this thread is moved to the top of the page so he can continue to post links to his blog.

The first time we tried to move this to the top other members started sniping and turned it into an overtly political thread, and that is unacceptable. Past discussions have been left mostly in place, but new remarks from guests or members that don't have to do strictly with the content linked to will be deleted. This is a compromise that is acceptable to moderators as long as it doesn't become a battleground. ---mudelf
