Well well well, Columbus Day is right around the corner, which means there’s a very good chance you’re about to enjoy a three-day weekend. Good for you! Though of course, by this point the smoke and mirrors surrounding Christopher Columbus’ “discovery” of America has long cleared to reveal a lost Italian (by way of Spain) washing ashore to steal land from the native inhabitants…..but still, three-day weekend! Regardless of your own personal feelings about this holiday, enjoy the following mix, specially created as a sort of chronological story of what happened in 1492 along with generous helpings of moral ambiguity with smooth listening. In other words, perfect for a three-day weekend….
