Rep. Runyan: You Must Act

To Congressman Jon Runyan (NJ-3):

One of your own was gunned down in 2011 by an assailant armed with a semi-automatic pistol fitted with a high-capacity magazine. But you and your colleagues did not act. Two years later, in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook nightmare, Former Rep. Gabby Giffords exhorted you to act to curb senseless gun violence. And we, your constituents, exhort you to listen.


Contact Rep. Runyan. Ask him to support common-sense gun-controls.

Earl Scruggs

Earl Scruggs meant a lot to me, not so much for his inimitable banjo style or signature tunes like "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" and "The Ballad of Jed Clampett." I loved him because he rose above the love-it-or-leave-it country music scene in the late 60s, and with his sons performed with the likes of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, The Byrds, and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. He lent his prestige and musicianship to the genre-bending, niche-defying music of the late-60s and early 70s. And he put his reputation on the line by playing with the young folks at anti-war rallies.

Never actually saw him in person, but did have an unforgettable experience, enhanced by magic brownies, watching "Banjoman" in a Washington, DC, movie theater. (Not the only Scruggs documentary.) And I still have a couple tattered and scratched old Scruggs' LPs in the box of records I can't bear to discard.

I will remember him as a great musician and a gutsy, sharing, quiet, decent, humble man. He will be missed.
