Conn Nugent Central: Irishness

http://connnugentcentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/irishness-26-may-2-june.html

Wednesday, November 9, 2011. The frequency and duration of the abuses of so many Irish clergy lifts the scandal to a shattering level. Shame – not guilt – has always been the stereotype Irish reaction to sin and failure. We know about shame. But now we are compelled to recognize the causal connections between sentiments of shame and acts of shameful behavior. It's as if the Irish soul has been indicted.

Conn Nugent Central: October 2011

http://connnugentcentral.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 31, 2011. Fraction of Really Big Question. Did you see the photo of the little tyke in Manila who has been designated as Number 7 Billion contemporary human? Handy graphic to lead into very serious. Many people I know are thinking about the agricultural requirements of feeding nine billion. Can it be done and, if so, through what means and with what consequences to nature and human societies? Well, they (we) can try. But on current evidence, it's hard to envision an aggregate worldwid...

Conn Nugent Central: The Wolves of The Angels

http://connnugentcentral.blogspot.com/2009/10/wolves-of-east-angels-16-23-october.html

Thursday, November 10, 2011. The Wolves of The Angels. AMONG ROCK-N-ROLL FANS you can always pick a cheap fight over the essentially stupid question of the Greatest Band Still Going. Still going. Is key: nobody dead or retired, and nobody who plays oldies-only shows in big hockey arenas. Essentially stupid. The greatest band still going (GBSG) in North America is Los Lobos. I recommend some Continuing Ed listening. Free MP3s on request. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 8226; ...

Conn Nugent Central: January 2012

http://connnugentcentral.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 25, 2012. ETTA JAMES DIED THIS WEEK. As the obituaries noted,. Etta James was the embodiment of a soulful blues singer. But she could do many things: deliver an Irving Berlin standard straight-up, play like a kitten with jazz syncopations, or just go completely rent-party funky. She did tough and tender, sassy and clingy, sexy and rejecting. Every note sounded felt. Every phrase sounded considered. She delivered creative expression that was sophisticated and basic at the same time.

Hence the obsessive attention to uniforms, insignia, colors, etc.]. AT 0900 SATURDAY MORNING I WILL BOARD A TRAIN in New York.

Conn Nugent Central: Hyphens

http://connnugentcentral.blogspot.com/2009/09/hyphens-23-30-september.html

Saturday, November 12, 2011. THE NUMBER OF AMERICAN NEWBORNS with hyphenated surnames is in decline. Oddly enough, the Census Bureau hasn't kept count: their computer records automatically change Smith-Jones into Smithjones. But judging from the reports of birth registrars around the country and lots of first-person narratives, it appears that surname hyphenization peaked in the late 1980s / early 1990s.
