Show Notes

In Episode 28, Nick looks at how the times they are a-changin'. In recognition of number 28, Nick dedicates this episode to hall-of-fame pitcher Bert Blyleven whose career highlights include 242 complete games pitched, but how the times are a changin’ for the role of a starting pitcher. Nick next recounts a few observations suggesting positive changes occurring on college campuses following a couple of recent visits. After a few thoughts on academia, Nick examines the lack of moral absolutes we’re seeing across society—if shoplifting and looting is now okay, how far will this change go? Nick concludes by closing the loop on how the times they are a-changin’ with a review of Bob Dylan’s recent concert outside Pittsburgh.
