Sedaris Sings Holiday

Last Week's This American Life (A real audio download - sorry the only way to listen) features David Sedaris reading from Me Talk Pretty One Day, his latest collection of stories. It is worth a listen just to hear Sedaris do his Billie Holiday imitation. Act II is a bit by Sara Vowell talking about her hate/hate relationship with high school marching band. If you haven't discovered Sara Vowell yet, well get on board. She is the funniest girl on earth. This is a rebroadcast of a 1998 show but still very, very fresh.

preface to Leaves of Grass:
"This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body." -- Walt Whitman.
