Way off Topic...

Just returned from a snowy visit to Borders where I picked up Jonathan Lowy’s latest book, The Temple of Music. I googled Lowy and turned up this from the Randomhouse review. Click here for the full review.

• America is starkly divided between the haves and the have-nots. A Republican president seeks reelection in the afterglow of a war many view as unnecessary and imperialisttic. He is bankrolled by millionaires, with every step of his career orchestrated by a political mastermind. Religious extremists crusade against the nation’s moral collapse. Terrorists plot the assassination of leaders around the world. And a lonely, disturbed revolutionary stalks the President. . . .It all happened. One hundred years ago. It all comes to life in The Temple of Music.

If you are reading Lowy’s book and would like your review posted here, please let me know. I would encourage Buffalo based people to draw on their knowledge of the time and events especially as it relates to the unfolding history of Buffalo, NY. Let me know.

And of course the last time an Amercian president visited our temple of music, Kleinhans Music Hall, last April, there were only protests. No shots were fired.
