34: The Music of Dead Musicians

Saturday Oct 30, 2010
Halloween has always been about kids dressing in costumes and collecting candy, right? As I got older, the holiday was more about listening to the music of departed musicians and sharing stories with a close group of friends. Is something inherently evil about October 31st? Or does the conservative backlash against Halloween actually do the devil's bidding by publicizing Satanism more than any Harry Potter lookalike asking for candy ever could?

Time to respond to feedback for the first time, and certainly not the last. The P's and Q's are your points and questions: excellent ideas for me to consider ... hopefully with adequate answers. Thanks! Different Drummer: Hank Hanegraaff

32: Recollection (My memory serves me far too well)

Memory separates me from many of my friends and peers. It's not just that I have strong recollections of past events. I also remember at great detail some events that others do not recall at all, except perhaps with a vague sense of satisfaction or regret. Well, if I've told you that I would remember you, I meant it. Always. Different Drummer: Alain Resnais

Banned Books Week is an annual event that draws much needed attention on the freedom to read or even really the freedom to think. We all should stand up when schools are pressured to prevent students from reading To Kill a Mockingbird, particularly in cases where "concerned parents" believe they are opposing racism and injustice by banning a book that would accomplish more by being read. Are we trying to control what children learn instead of urging them and inspiring them to think? Not only would I keep challenging and provocative material in the curriculum, I might be willing to go even further. Different Drummer: Karen Elizabeth Gordon
