Kick off your lunch break with some musical accompaniment, provided by William Doino in today’s On the Square :
[Warren] Zevon was not just a man of sardonic wit. His songs could be tender and introspective. “Accidentally like a Martyr” speaks to anyone who has ever been tempted—and burned—by a misguided romance. “Hasten Down the Wind” is a piercing ballad about a once-strong relationship gone cold. And “Splendid Isolation” is as memorable a tribute to independence as John Lennon’s superb “Watching the Wheels.”
Read (and listen!) to the rest here .
Dear Reader,
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
