Dear Culture Currents readers,<\/p>\n

I thought that you browsing visitors might find this list of interest. This post contains\u00a0the titles of each blog post that I’ve written here, ranked by WordPress according to the number of hits each has received.<\/p>\n

So it’s a list of the most popular blogs in descending order. The most hits by far to date was at the home page\/archives, representing people checking out my latest posting or searching through the archives, which are listed by months only on the home page sidebar.<\/p>\n

So this new list allows a reader a little easier access to the archives. Simply click on any title and you’ll be directed straight to it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most popular single post to date is my Moby Dick-like interpretation of Santiago Calatrava’s celebrated addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum (pictured above). I was also\u00a0happy to see that many culturally attuned\u00a0people apparently\u00a0find it significant that Milwaukee has lost its last black talk radio station.<\/p>\n

I realize “The Day the United States Hanged a Woman” is a provocative title, but the movie review amounts also to a fascinating true historical story that resonates today, regarding capital punishment.<\/p>\n

And the Duane Allman posting is a testament to that great guitarist’s ongoing legacy, evident most notably in the work of Derek Trucks, co-leader of the marvelous Tedeschi-Trucks Band which, in my book, has no peer today among groups attempting to combine and expand on a wide range of roots music styles.
\nI hope this information helps you to enjoy Culture Currents (Vernaculars Speak)<\/em>\u00a0a bit more.
\nAs always, thank you very much for visiting, reading and commenting.
\nBest,<\/p>\n

Kevernacular (Kevin Lynch)<\/p>\n
