Billy Bragg: Tiny Desk Concert : NPR

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 23:37:16 -0400

One of the world’s finest folksingers channels the spirit of Woody Guthrie at the NPR Music offices. As he has throughout his long career, Bragg finds a way to blend politics and music with grace, charm and a rough edge.

Saw him last summer here in Ottawa at Bluesfest; a great concert despite the sound bleed from the multi-stage setup, and a great guy for staying around to talk to everyone who wanted to meet him and get autographs and pictures taken.

“Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.”

- Susan Cain (via skeletales)

In honor of Bike to Work Week here at the Field Museum, we thought we’d post a photo of a bicycle out on expedition in Tsavo Africa. Let us hope your commute is not nearly as dangerous Lt. Colonel John Patterson’s, dodging the Man Eating Lion’s of Tsavo.

Lt. Colonel John Patterson with the dog in his lap and other man inside tent. Man with bicycle (on left of tent), men with rifles Tsavo, Kenya, Africa. Lt Colonel John Patterson killed the Man Eating Lions of Tsavo. They were rumored to have killed many people. These two maneless lions are on display.
