SHED A LITTLE LIGHT: In happy news particularly suitable to this day, Wilbert Rideau has been freed. (Full disclosure: my clinical program in law school did work connected to the case.) For those who have doubts about a rehabilitative model of incarceration, Rideau, who went from an impulsive 19 year-old bank robber to an Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker and acclaimed journalist while in prison proves rehabilitation is possible.
And on the title--read the lyrics and buy the damn song. (And if anyone knows if Aimee Mann's version of the song is publicly available, that'd be great).
