"We've gotta give them light."
On Oct 31, 2008, the weekend before a majority of US voters elected Chicagoan Barack Obama to be the 44th President of the United States, Americans lost another great Chicagoan when Studs Terkel -- the honest, chatty, folksy turbine of the long-form interview -- passed away. I was thinking of Terkel today when I read this wonderful anecdote from Joe Biden about quarry swimming in his youth.
It's great to have a VPOTUS who values candor, unfiltered enthusiasm, and direct experience like Jawbone Joe does.
