Thanks, PBS. You Reminded Me Why I Watch You

Last week, PBS had a good week. Frontline covered a team at West Philadelphia High School competing in an international contest to build an extremely fuel efficient automobile. Another great episode of many from Frontline that covers the state of education in the U.S. Try not to cry, I dare you.

History Detectives finds Bob Dylan's Electric Guitar from Newport, and (and this one is going out to friend and artist, Chuck Schneider) the show reminds us that Frank Zappa was more visually creative than we realize by researching a possible collage made by Zappa. From the way people discuss his composition style, I wonder if he wasn't a synesthete. Great show. Fans of music and contemporary history must watch.

Thanks, PBS. You, an internet connection, and a video cable from a computer to a television can allow many to remain cable free. Okay, I'm done advertising.
