Welcome! "The Evening Blues" is a casual community diary (published Monday - Friday, 8:00 PM Eastern) where we hang out, share and talk about news, music, photography and other things of interest to the community.
Just about anything goes, but attacks and pie fights are not welcome here. This is a community diary and a friendly, peaceful, supportive place for people to interact.
Everyone who wants to join in peaceful interaction is very welcome here.

Hey! Good Evening! Happy Thanksgiving!
This evening's music features songs at least sort of about food (though food frequently becomes a metaphor for something else) and anything vaguely related to Thanksgiving, like Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant," a Thanksgiving tradition for many DFH families. B)
I prepared this diary in advance since I won't be around to tend it, so, enjoy and feel free to chat among yourselves!
My best to all!
Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee - Custard Pie
“I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.”
― Jon Stewart

Remember when progressive debate was about our values and not about a "progressive" candidate? Remember when progressive websites championed progressive values and didn't tell progressives to shut up about values so that "progressive" candidates can get elected?
Come to where the debate is not constrained by oaths of fealty to persons or parties.
Come to where the pie is served in a variety of flavors.
"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." ~ Noam Chomsky
