In a form of audio palimpsest, John talks over a recording of himself playing songs. He wonders why rock bands are given a pass in the "Me Too" era when other celebrities are held feet to the fire, even with a shrine built to them in Cleveland. On an article re: friction between men and women in their competition over jobs. "No gender succeeds at the expense of others?" On inclusion, accommodation and assimilation in American culture. On debate. Wittgenstein and Tolstoy's "Gospel in Brief" and W's realization language couldn't settle certain issues. On James, the brother of Jesus who became leader of the church in Jerusalem, versus Paul who came into play out of Antioch, the first truly "Christian" church. On Peter chickening out when some came from James to Antioch during the meal.
