By Jack Brummet, American Music Ed.
I am reading Mezz Mezzrow's autobiography, "Really The Blues." This Jewish kid fell in love with black culture, and in particular, the music. What a crazy life (at one point Mezz was a common slang word for reefer), from the reformatory to playing with and managing people like Sidney Bechet and Louis Armstrong. It's a highly idiomatic book, filled with heartbreaking tales of facing down Jim Crow (de jure in the south and de facto in the north) and most of all, stories of the great blues and jazz they made despite the law and prevailing racism.

By Mona Goldwater, Twitter and Tweets Ed.
That Twitter discipline didn't last long. And when 45's Tweet-fast broke, all sorts of crazy followed.

AG Jeff Sessions recuses himself from Russian-Trump investigations
By Mona Goldwater, Justice Dept. Ed.
Illustration by Jack Brummet
In this instance, recusal is a half-measure. You know what they say about half measures. The President gave the AG a half-vote of confidence yesterday. When asked if he believed Attorney General Sessions had told the truth at his confirmation hearings, The President said “he probably did.”
