The All-Mighty Rockin’ in the U.S.A.
Recently, the radio told me that some 91% of all Americans believe in a God. This same disembodied voice talking to me from my pickup truck told me that more than 40% of all Americans believe in the Bible as literal truth.
If so, then a book I once wrote about Noah’s Ark might very well be considered historical fiction, or at least pre-historical fiction, since all the primary sources of record from that trip were wiped out. (Though some keep looking.) I suppose the fact that both you and I exist is proof enough that Noah did a sufficient job of sailing the earth’s one great ocean with a boatload of animals.

Hey. My son and I are the rock band known as Neighbor Dance. Sam plays keyboard, and I play guitar. Toward the end of February, we’ll be gigging at the Empty Bowls of Seattle, a benefit for the Ballard Food Bank and the Seattle Animal Shelter. For ten bucks you get an artisan-made ceramic bowl, soup and bread, and a good fuzzy feeling, knowing that your ten bucks went to The Greater Common Good.
Like last year, we’ll be playing three songs. This year’s set list includes a peppy rendition of Boston’s More than a Feeling, Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, and a piece Sam wrote entitled Franceland Ho, an instrumental redolent of springtime travels and adventure.
