    The Year of Music II: Bruce Springsteen

    This year I wanted to dive deep into some of my favorite musicians.

    A New Dawn, a New Day

    It truly is morning again in America. The last four years of idolatry, vitriol, and unwarranted aggression finally coming to a close. His campaign in tatters, his strongest supporters haven turned from him with upturned noses, and his “revolution” having been squashed after its violent insurrection a couple weeks ago; Donald Trump departed the capital… Read more
