Sonic Overload 9/3/12

Labor Day already and, as is the tradition, there are plenty of songs to mark the day. Of course, last week was the Republican convention. I didn’t include any audio because I wanted to make this an enjoyable show. But, man, what a revolting group of people, from the top down, and they believe in policies that are overtly hostile to working and middle class people. Members of teachers, firefighters, police and other unions who perform invaluable public services are made to look like thugs and ingrates. Things like Medicare, Social Security, safety regulations, even civil rights regulations are on the table with some of these characters. Not that the Democrats are all that much better but they at least pay lip service to people who aren’t super-wealthy or white.

Enough of that—I have a BBQ to attend to. Next week, the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks will be noted but it’s not going to dominate the show. I think I’ve expressed my feelings on the issues surrounding the attacks and the aftermath over the years but there’ll still be a remembrance.
