Callie Crossley who works at WGBH in Boston is my favorite radio person. Her Under the Radar is always worth listening to. This weeks show about independent book stores who are holding on against the imperialism of the mega-stores is an inspiration. I wonder if she'd had this to listen to if the wonderful Alison Bechdel would have had a more optimistic story line and taken her comic strip of of hiatus.
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE
