Words and Music
I’m a big fan of the hardcore rock-n-roll troubadours, many of whom gained prominence in the 60s and 70s (Hey Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me). In the literature arena, I highly recommend The Shortest Way Home (taken from the James Joyce quote, “Longest way round is the shortest way home”), written by South Bend, IN mayor, Rhodes scholar, Afghanistan war veteran, and first openly gay presidential candidate, Pete Buttigieg.
