Feeling really lucky to have come across this artifact. Traditional songs have, by definition, been done to death, but Jay's renditions are entrancing. His rendition of How Great Thou Art nearly brought this atheist to tears.

The Wikipedia article on the man reveals so much more you'd never know from looking at his own autobiography and notes. Take a look if you've got a few minutes to learn some American history nobody's trying to teach you.

THIS IS OUTSTANDING.

"#Tennessee neighbors form human chain to prevent #ICE from arresting father in driveway
The man and his 12-year-old son were in their driveway when ICE arrived.

Neighbors in the outskirts of #Nashville prevented immigration officials from detaining a man in his driveway, and then formed a human chain to allow the man and his son to return to their home."

Political rant of the day. So last weekend I heard Elizabeth Warren was planning to come to Nashville for a rally. Yay! I signed up. There's of course also a big protest tomorrow from 12-2. I figured Warren would appear either before or after the protest. No. Warren is speaking at 2 at a different venue than the protest and people are supposed to get in line by at least 1, earlier if you want a good seat. WTF. I'm so annoyed I'm going to an event in a different city. I will refrain from smart ass comments about Democratic leadership. I feel bad for the local organizers because they scheduled their protest weeks ago. #uspol #Nashville

I'm tired.

Last night's tornadic weather had me sheltering in my closet at about 2:50 am. I never got back to sleep. The constant alerts going off on my phone, the recorded/automated emergency weather alert calls...I feel beaten down.

And right now we have tornado warnings southwest of Nashville, and now I just heard a storm is rolling in.

Please.

I just want to sleep.
