Don't Need News for My Blues

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

a poem about tuning out

"
Here's to yet
Another night
Of skipping
The nightly news
I'll stick with
Howlin' Wolf
When I want
A little blues

There is a relatively new (2005) black and white movie called "Good Night and Good Luck" about Edward R Murrow. It's wild how far we have fallen since then.
