A slice of pandemic-era reflection, featuring a protest remix by Chuck D, the demise of Cheese Nips after 65 years of service, and a sleepless plea to the gods of exhaustion. One of those days where everything feels symbolic.
Tune of the day
"No Boom Boom" by Chuck D and the Fine Arts Militia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WUxa6aXeNU
This is an adaptation of John Lee Hooker's song "Boom Boom" in the form of a protest against the invasion of Iraq that was impending at the time of this performance in February 2003.
Thought of the day Take a moment to note the demise of Cheese Nips, which filled American grocery store shelves from 1955 to 2020. Yet another change in our world wrought by the pandemic? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese_Nips)
Quote of the day A bargain with insomnia: if I lie in bed pretending to be asleep, is that good enough for you so that I won't have to fall asleep standing up?
