From Childhood’s Hour I Have Not Been As Others Were: Transmission 482, 2019 September 11

I never know quite what to do on this most sacred of American days. The only musical take I have on it is my feeling that we should never have abandoned "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the 7th-inning stretch. (Is there any more positive sign that the terrorists have won?) I'm fairly certain that every time (!) I have wound up with a program on September 11 I have just plowed ahead with my "regular" agenda, whatever that was at the time. What is that? Churchillian?

Anyway on this day I had taken a new job and escaped two bad ones. Yay, me! I even got to announce my departure during a "department meeting" that I had been dreading (and which had become dreadful for all the reasons I'd feared). Every worker's dream!

So I had some bad energy to release. Not sure what "Expensive Shit" had to do with any of this, but there it is, in the playlist all the same. I also don't know why I went with a solid block of English reggae at the top of the program. Reaching back to earlier times, I guess, when maybe I felt more free? Was that my true energy on this day? So friendly was the universe at this moment that even I think this program was good.
