No news today

There is no news today, nor was there news on Friday. Yesterday, though, we learned that David Markson died. He was a great writer.

There is no news today. There was no news yesterday. I used to watch the evening news years ago, but haven't in a very long time. I liked Peter Jennings best. Dan Rather could be funny sometimes because he's from Texas, but he wasn't as good as Peter Jennings. I never watched Tom Brokaw. Not once. But he's always seemed like a good man to me.

In 1954 Elvis Presley recorded Good Rockin' Tonight at Sun Studios in Memphis, TN. The first line goes, "Well, I heard the news - there's good rockin' tonight."

This was big news in 1954 and it still is now. Such is the news of the day.

Today there is no news. Nor was there news yesterday. Over the weekend I spent time in Michigan. Since this had been planned months ago this also does not qualify as news. What was news to me, however, were how the women of Michigan behaved. How they treated people. Not only the women of Michigan, but also, women from other parts of the country, who, like me, found themselves in Michigan over the weekend.

Perhaps this isn't news to anyone. Perhaps the people of Michigan have known this for years. Perhaps they don't spread this particular news because they want someone to come and rescue them. Or else they want others to experience it for themselves. Either way, this is why Michigan is kept in Michigan.

What constitutes news? The question seems fluid, elusive. In some ways there was news today, in other ways perhaps not. Same goes for the last couple of days. Everything depends on context. This statement, of course, is not news to anyone.

Splendid new review of KBMR up at Dark Sky Magazine.

That is the news of the day.

Yesterday there was none.
