The end of summer 2012 I was thoroughly immersed in two great Sly and the Family Stone albums from the Nixon-era, There's a Riot Goin' On (1971) and Fresh (1973).
These records -- heavily produced, seamless, narcotic, visionary -- can be played repeatedly.
The end of summer 2012 was very warm. People were sleeping out in the open on patches of grass. I was fit.
I heard "Thankful N' Thoughtful" last week, and I realized the Owl of Minerva has flown. The end of summer 2012 might as well be ancient history let alone as near distant as Nixon-era America.
