Thought for the day ...

"To buy books would be a good thing, if we also could buy the time to read them."

Thought for the day ...

... from the new album, "Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women," featuring Alvin and seven of America's premiere female folk musicians and songwriters. The lyrics are from Alvin's soulful version of "These Times We're Living In," written and originally recorded by the late singer/songwriter Kate Wolf:

The days, like flowers, bloom and fade
And they do not come again.
