Birthday Books of the Day: "Blind faith in your leaders, or in anything, will get you killed."

Today is the six-month anniversary of the passage of HB2 and the 67th birthday of its most famous opponent, singer/songwriter/activist Bruce Springsteen.

Winner of an Oscar, two Golden Globes and twenty Grammys; his 18 albums have sold 120 million copies and earned him Rolling Stone’s ranking as 23rd in the 100 greatest artists of all time. He even has a minor planet named for him.
