that show was awesome. i felt bad for Ethan since the crowd was rather small, but sunday night shows are a tough draw for people (plus, Brokeback/Chris Brokaw and Thalia Zedek/Black Helicopter were also competing for the same audience). i didn't really know much of the material (am only super familiar w/ _Magnificent Fiend_) but it all smoked. he's got a great band. go see him if they play your town (Chicago is next, at the Abbey tmrw night)

life during wartime is an easy drop. at least easier than the others.

huh. i don't recall Obama running against GWB. i agree that Obama's certainly not been the liberal warrior that some expected him to be. the use of drones, gitmo still operating, etc etc etc is troubling. yet the average republican thinks he's on par w/ Bernie Sanders. just how does that happen? probably the same way this happened
