Music and Marriage and Alabama Blogs

Today, I followed a link from Geek Girl Blonde (another blogger from Birmingham, AL) to Policy Review. As a "product of divorce" myself, the article resonated with me. When I was younger and thought about my father, I too felt the pangs of abandonment, and I can certainly agree with the issues explored by Everclear, Papa Roach, Nirvana and others lamenting the breakup of the family as well as the desolation and angst of Generations X, Y and Z.

I can only hope that as the children of these fractured generations (my own included) grow up they will turn back to a traditional family unit that includes both a mother and a father as role models. If the music of our parents was that of abandon, and ours is the music of abandonment, let's hope that the next music generation is that of reconnection and commitment. Unfortunately, I'm kinda doubting it, commitment doesn't really sell. *frown*

Below are some quicks hits collected from other Alabama Bloggers:

Over at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, is a great recap of Delroy Murdock's editorial about the War on Islamofacism in The Union Leader.

Spontaneously Planned and The Irish Geisha are Birmingham, AL area bloggers. See, I read about more than just Space, Politics, and Religion.

Stephanie at Weekly View is upset about the PC crowd turning MERRY CHRISTMAS into Happy Holidays and the like. She's also not too happy with the gaggles of Hollywood-pundits out there.

Ltmr.net is reviewing Xmas Movies. Personally, I didn't think Ocean's Twelve was all that great, but worth seeing anyway. (No permalink on this one, so hit it quick if you need a red state review of Christmas flicks.)

The Crimson Lefty has died. Probably of Pork Rind poisoning.

Carla Jean at Stumbling Through the Lines wanted everyone to know she graduated. But she also has a good post about her Southern Heritage.

Citizen Frank (great blog BTW) is talking about his serendipitous mistake.

Finally, Liberty Flash details discusses the state of Prohibition in Alabama.
