A nice little ditty by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.
When you don’t know the right word you stick with what you know, the Camelopard.
Where you won’t find tornadoes.
A strong case could easily be made that reading these magazines would likely make you less knowledgable.
Stephen Dubner posted this video, about a reporter (Charlie LeDuff) who literally golfs the length of Detroit, on the Freakonomics blog and asks-
“Is it a) one of the most interesting pieces of reporting you’ll ever see? b) a kind of cultural criticism that almost never shows up in mainstream journalism? c) a golfing adventure that even the most adventuresome golfers have never considered?
Yes.”
Detroit is such a great, interesting piece of America and it’s continuously on the precipice of renaissance or mad max thunderdome-ness. This video is an ingenious, wacky call (plea) to greatness.
