    French culture and rock do not go well together. It’s like English wine.

From Chicagoist:
Chicago is still America’s most segregated city: 

A report from the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research found that while Chicago has experienced significant decline in racial segregation in the past decade, it still remains the most segregated city in the United States. The Sun Times reports the study, conducted by professors from Harvard and Duke, both fellows at a conservative think tank, examined data dating all the way back to 1890 and found that cities in America are more integrated than any time since 1910. The report also found that “all white neighborhoods are effectively extinct.”

What are your thoughts on the study? Is Chicago really the most segregated city in the U.S.?

Randy Newman :: WPLJ FM – New York City – August, 1971
Twenty-three track radio session Randy Newman cut while in New York  City in August of 1971 for WPLJ FM. Stripped down, solo piano. The  session serves to both highlight material culled from Newman’s first two  albums (1968′s s/t and 1970′s 12 Songs) as well as to showcase tracks from his next full-length, 1972′s Sail Away.

Etta James’ version of “Sail Away” is more disturbing.
