Except sometimes, driving in my car on Sunday nights, I'll listen to the bluegrass-music hour on public radio, and suddenly, listening to that music, I'll have a strange, uncontrollable desire to go out on strike. What is it about that twangy, whining music? Is there something primitive and Dionysian in it, with dithyrambs and cymbals, that is more maddening and strike-inducing than Eric Clapton and rock and roll?"Shane Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107193862410947119noreply@blogger.com
