It was great listening toIt was great listening to Neal's songs. Your questions and comments to Neal were very good. I enjoyed Neal's answers as well. But then I am a little prejudice as I am the song writer for "Big Bad Mike". My wife and I enjoyed it very much.
This was such a treat toThis was such a treat to listen to the interview with Neal Swanger and to hear the stories behind his music. This is my first time hearing Northern Spirit Radio, long distance from the East Coast. Mark Helpsmeet is a thoughtful interviewer with an ability to connect and facilitate meaningful conversation with his guest and I admire both Neal and Mark for purposefully leading with their hearts in what they are up to. The Urban Arts Academy piece was the icing on the cake!
Although I think Ms. StreetAlthough I think Ms. Street did an excellent job presenting her argument, I found the argument itself odd. Of the 53 minutes of the program, about 50 of them consisted of various arguments boiling down to "nuclear isn't as deadly as you think". Well, who cares? The question isn't "which power system kills less people", the question is "which power system has the best combination of features", or "which power system best solves the problems we need to fix". Unfortunately, the program never actually talked about this - not once. Oh sure, there were comparisons to coal in terms of CO2, and brief mentions of other sources like wind, but that's it. At no point did she say something to the effect of "we should build out nuclear instead of wind because…" I'm not sure Ms. Street is helping the argument in favour of nuclear.
Thanks for featuring Neal Swanger and his song Lake Michigan. As a girl from Northern MN now living in the cities I can completely relate!! Excellent musician!
Watts is an intriguing and innovative musician. I am enjoying hearing what comes next always!
