A More Perfect Union

This weekend

...I caught The Stars, a band from Montreal, gig at the University of London Union (aka ULU). This is the second time I've checked them out this year and both times they have rocked. The Stars blend well crafted songwriting, pop sensibility, and a bit of indy rock with male and female lead vocals to create a unique sound...and I like it.

...I finished Bill Clinton's book, My Life. In the Epilogue, Clinton writes something that rings true for me...

"In calmer times, our country has been well served by our two-party system, with progressives and conservatives debating what to change and what to preserve. But when change is forced upon us by events, we are all tested, and thrown back to our fundamental mission to widen the circle of opportunity, deepen the meaning of freedom, and strengthen the bonds of our community. To me, that is what it means to make our union more perfect".
