I am calling on the fine people of this community to help me out here. NPR Lady has pretty much resigned herself to the idea that she’s involved with a (gasp!) libertarian. However… she absolutely hates the “NPR Lady” nickname. And honestly, though I don’t hate it, there’s ambiguity because I used that term for everyone I’ve dated in the past year. And (I say somewhat abashedly), this one might stick around for a while and deserves a unique sobriquet. So I’m taking suggestions. She’s very much a save-the-world type, free spirited, loves her weed and music, avid and skilled dancer, very intelligent, and almost as short as Banjos. So go with that description.

And we’ll go with birthdays, including the subject of one of my favorite poems; the ancestor of Pearson; a rather fringe character; the Yin to Lucas’s Yang; Spudalicious’s spirit animal; a hero of mine who died before I could see him in action; a vastly overlooked guitarist, and the recent subject of Old Guy Music; Larry David’s alter ego; and a pioneer of combining music with activism, thus making shitty music and moronic activism.
