Tuesday Toast & Jam Session 8/23/05

Today's second hour was dedicated to the memory of the late Robert Moog (1934 - 2005). If it weren't for him, R2-D2, Particle, and a load of great synthesizer music would have never been made...well maybe it would have been made, but it wouldn't have sounded the same, that's for sure.

On August 23rd, 700 years ago, William Wallace was executed by the English. It's important to remember that in his native Scotland, he was seen as a champion of justice, a hero, but to the English, he was no more than a brigand, an insurgent...and even a terrorist. It's interesting how a cultural shift can color our perceptions of people. It's something that we should be aware of in our everyday lives in the interactions we have with all kinds of people, and it was Tuesday's "Something to think about".
