229: Closer Than They Appear
A couple of post a go I mentioned folk music and that folk music often addressed issues of the day. Today while waiting to give a friend a ride. While setting there I was thanking of the burdensome escalating expense of getting my truck inspected and registered. I glanced in the mirror and the reflected ATM sign gave me a folk music flash back.
M.T.A. Closer Than It Appears.

thanks for posting this. I know it was not political when I was in London, but riding the tube surely made me think about that song :)
