As I was preparing some delicious pork fajitas for tonight's dinner, my favorite item in my whole kitchen was soothing the regular sounds of evening chaos by being tuned in to... you guessed it, NPR. Yes, friends, it's time again to spread some NPR love. During All Things Considered this afternoon, they played a song they referred to as a "musical commentary," which is a term that definitely fits the bill. Be forewarned that this is not a happy-feeling-inducing kind of song. While I did chuckle a few times at some clever lyrics (my favorite being-"they want your gold, and they'll pay cash" -those commercials are everywhere-- even during the Super Bowl!), it was overwhelmingly simple and frankly, quite bleak. Loudon Wainwright III sums it up-- Times Is Hard. Check it out, and the best part is, it's NPR... so it's free!
