Brian Flemming continues his campaign to explain to the world why he’s positive that Jesus never existed. And The Catholic Report is there to document his progress.
It’s funny, the timing of this project. It seems like we’re seeing every possible attack on Christ’s credibility (or existence) at once, as if audiences will be happy to accept any alternatives to the truth, even if those alternatives contradict each other entirely.

T-Bone Burnett is playing Greenbelt this summer. New baby -schnew baby we’re going.

If T Bone’s new album “The True False Identity” is comedy, then “Schindler’s List” is slapstick.
Interesting that the Yahoo article says that Cassandra Wilson’s new album is “groundbreaking” – but there’s no further information. Based on things I’ve seen re. the track list, it looks like it’s very much in the mold of the albums she’s been amking since Blue Light til Dawn, which came out in 1993. (That’s just an observation on her work, not a criticism – though I would like to see her change gears, for one album at least.)
After hearing long samples on the Blue Note website, well… I think the programmed beats were a huge mistake. I’d much rather hear her with her regular working combo.
Some of what I’ve heard makes me think that Wilson is going after a broader market, a la Lizz Wright and several other young singers who are working more in a soul-jazz vein.
