Apparently, free speech at UC Berkeley is only free if one agrees with the agitators.

What kind of university has students unable to listen to an opposing point of view?

What a sad state of affairs.

Students used to go to a university to hear all points of view, to learn to make informed decisions.

What about the rights of those students who wanted to hear the speaker? Too bad.

Note from KBJ: Right on, sister.

Surrealistic Pillow (1967). This album was released 50 years ago this month. It doesn't seem possible.

Addendum: I heard this song today on my bike ride. I thought, "I should be able to play that on my acoustic guitar." Sure enough, I learned it. It's pretty easy, actually. My voice will never be as good as that of Grace Slick, but I enjoy singing the song anyway.

Katherine and I saw Foreigner yesterday evening at the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie. I had never seen the band in concert. Although none of the six original members was present, the musicians now constituting the band did a great job of mimicking the songs. I particularly enjoyed "Juke Box Hero." Here is the setlist:

Because the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision

This is why I no longer read the New York Times. I used to post a letter to the editor each day from the Times's website, but I can no longer tolerate the dishonesty and viciousness displayed there.

Foreigner 4 (1981). Katherine and I will see Foreigner in concert this evening.
