FAMW: (The Middle Class Liberal) Well-Intentioned Blues

With the impending 50th anniversary celebration of Dr Martin Luther King's "March on Washington" and his famous "I Have A Dream" speech, we take you back to the late 1970s, when the National Lampoon Radio Hour, and this tribute to the caring and sharing of all those who strive to solve the Nation's problems with someone else's money. Lead vocal and guitar by Christopher Guest, back-up vocal and banjo by Mark Horowitz, music by Christopher Guest, lyrics by Sean Kelly, produced by Bob Tischler and Christopher Guest -- all that for this week's Friday Afternoon Moment of Whimsy.
 

FAMW: “I’m uncomfortable with where we just went.”

It's also where we're going in the "honest conversation" about race. This controversial sportscaster on an ESPN show with a deliberately controversial edge, says something ... uh, controversial. To the "millennial" generation, much of this is irrelevant, but until they take over the world, what we are learning of the human condition is that no one, regardless of color, is immune from generalizations based upon ethnic origin. It's sad in a way, but a sort of dark humor, not to mention thought-provoking, for this week's Friday Afternoon Moment of Whimsy.
