I'm fascinated by the year 1933- technology was a marvel, communications were global, and the future looked bright. Which was good, because the present was pretty sad. There was war in China as Japan annexed Manchuria, the Nazis began flexing, and millions of Ukranians were starving to death in the midst of plenty. Things were much better in this country- Americans were out of work, but somehow pulling together. And beer was legal again!

Big media was in its infancy, with fights breaking out between the newspapers and radio, and there was an early version of television broadcast in England. Someone even managed to record the signal on a record- the first time-shifting.

We had a world's fair in Chicago that year- A Century of Progress. You could cross the Atlantic by airship. Try that today. The first radio waves were detected from space, beginning a long and fruitful area of scientific research. Einstein and many others came to America from Germany- stupid Nazis.

When I'm not thinking about 1933 or how much I still wish Howard Dean were the democratic party nominee for president, I'm writing and recording music at my Steam Powered Studio.
