I’m pondering exactly how political to get in this blog, because there’s a lot to be said about both parties, Congress in general, and the team in the White House.
But I believe Bill Veeck summed it up completely, even though he was talking baseball: “All I ever said is that you can draw more people with a losing team, plus bread and circuses, than with a losing team and a long, still silence.”

Yes, it somehow all comes together. This is a July 13, 2010 radio interview I did with Molly Matlock, Executive Director of ChathamArts and host of “Inside the Artist’s Studio” on WCOM-FM in Carrboro, NC.
Molly put it best in her program description: “Now to the Zombies. Today on “Inside the Artist’s Studio,” ChathamArts interviews James Bryson Hyatt about the NC film industry, making music videos, and how zombie movies hold the key to a better world.”
Sadly, I know way more about zombie movies and what they say about us as individuals and as a society than any normal person should. Wait, “normal”… 😉
Here’s the audio, just under an hour:

Now THIS is what an alumni interview should be: candid, honest, funny, smart. It helps to have a great interview subject: William “Mo” Cowan, chief legal counsel to Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.
