Welcome to Morning Open Thread, a daily post with a MOTley crew of hosts who choose the topic for the day's posting. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
This author, who is on Pacific Coast Time, may sometimes show up later than when the post is published. That is a feature, not a bug. Other than that, site rulz rule.
So grab your cuppa, and join in!
America doesn’t have enough national holidays, so I have no quarrel with people who work for a living taking advantage of the three-day weekend for R&R.
Here are some tunes by and for all the working men, women and children in the Labor Movement whose sacrifices brought us the 8-hour day (which a lot of people have lost in recent years), the weekend (which many of us still have), and of course, Labor Day itself.
G’Morning MOTlies!
Everybody have a fun and safe Labor Day — you’ve earned it!
