We Can Rebuild It. Louder, Faster, Stronger

Another in the "leaving the vinyl behind as I move to another state" series from 1993, this one seems destined to be blasted out the car windows while driving through the shopping center.

Thoreau-ly Well-Read

Not a lot to say about this one. If you like this sort of thing, then you'll like this thing.
Henry David Thoreau doesn't need me to pump him up. Howard Mumford Jones was a professor of English at Harvard in the mid 20th century and pretty much sounds as you would expect a mid-20th century Harvard English professor to sound.

One of his more well-known quotes is "While it is true that we in this nation remain free to be idiotic, it does not necessarily follow that we must be idiotic in order to be free!" [February 1954 dedicatory address at the opening of an addition to the University of Wisconsin's Memorial Library, entitled "Books and the Independent Mind."]
