• Las ciudades de América son inexpresablemente tediosas. Los bostonianos se toman su aprendizaje con demasiada tristeza; la cultura es para ellos un logro más que una atmósfera; su Hub, como ellos lo llaman, es el paraíso de los mojigatos. Chicago es una especie de tienda de monstruos, llena de bullicio y aburrimiento. La vida política en Washington es como la vida política en una sacristía suburbana. Baltimore es divertida durante una semana, pero Filadelfia es terriblemente provinciana; y aunque se puede cenar en New York, no se puede vivir allí.

• History has a way of coming back to you. In the case of Janis Joplin appearing at the festival in 1968, her performance affected the life of a Bostonian who is now a member of the Newport Festivals Foundation Board of Directors.  Ward Mooney was so affected and emotionally involved in Janis’ performance at Newport, that when he heard the festival was going nonprofit, he knew wanted to become a part.  Janis was beautiful, gracious and respectful, and the power of her Newport performance continues to live on.

• Walking back from the convention site I chatted with a normal Bostonian for several blocks -- who must have identified me through our covert system of signals. He was mostly bemused by the Democrats' primetime speakers and told me he used to be an independent, but for the last 20 years found himself voting mostly Republican. Then he corrected himself and said he votes for the American.
