The Ramble

Dec. 1

The Blue Bird, Bloomington

“The Last Waltz” is widely considered one of the best concert movies of all time. A big part of that is because the subject of the film, the announced final performance by The Band—accompanied by a stellar lineup of guests including Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond and Muddy Waters—was a landmark concert. Indiana musicians re-created the concert in a performance last summer at Radio Radio in Fountain Square. For those, like me, who are kicking themselves for missing it, news that the concert is being re-created again, albeit in Bloomington, warrants some road-trip planning. Details here.

BROOKS: Cautions on the age of possibility

At some point over the past generation, people around the world entered what you might call the age of possibility. They became intolerant of any arrangement that might close off their personal options.

KRUGMAN: A Twinkie manifesto for a greedy era

The Twinkie, it turns out, was introduced way back in 1930. In our memories, however, the iconic snack will forever be identified with the 1950s, when Hostess popularized the brand by sponsoring “The Howdy Doody Show.” And the demise of Hostess has unleashed a wave of baby boomer nostalgia for a seemingly more innocent time.

VAUGHN: Super PACs still threaten democracy

Forget red states versus blue states. The color best representative of the 2012 election is green, as in greenbacks.

More than 1,000 Super PACs were formed and they spent at least $970 million, much of it on negative television ads and direct mail.
