Get Out And Vote!
I subscribe to “Best of True”, where subscribers receive a story from the archives of This is True that he picks out and thinks is extra good each day. The story that came up this morning seemed extra good to me, and I felt like it needed a soundtrack. It seems that back in 2000 …
