I find it strange that Tracy Chapman was referred to as a queer black female on the recent Grammy’s, thus leaving us to guess, I guess, what Luke Holmes was.

Geo: I hear you, Dave but I can only wonder why the folks handled poverty so much better during the depression?
Iwas just thrilled to hear Tracy Chapman again. I first her playing in the Boston T stations.
@JamesDuvall: George: In the very early 1930s, unemployment was in the 30s percentage of citizens, the country was much more agrarian (so those living on farms were hurting) and most people were at or below the poverty level of 1930. Things were so bad that World War One veterans marched on Washington and camped on The Mall. When they did not disperse and go home, President Hoover sent Generals MacArthur, Patton and Eisenhower with Army soldiers to remove them by force. In reality, until 1935 or 1936, most people were suffering, so people, especially farmers. John Steinbeck’s novel, “The Grapes of Wrath”, really documents what a significant portion of Americans were experiencing. (Geo’s Daily Life-Liners)
Geo: Sad Jed but what I find even sadder is the poor folks back then handled their circumstances much better than they do today.
