“If you’re [insert label here], you’ll just love [insert stereotyped response here].” “Uh, oh. She’s going off on some rant about labels again.” Yes, indeed I am. But please, don’t cringe. There’s a good reason I’m talking about the evils…

Musical Musings – American Pie

Don McLean’s American Pie was a hit several years before I was born. Somehow, though, I remember that song as being part of my childhood. As a child, it was the melody and the rhythm that had me hooked. It…
