The Library of Congress have this year added several new recordings to the National Recording Registry. Prince, Dolly Parton, Donna Summer, Booker T. and the MG's and Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang will all take their place in the vault of the iconic recordings of this country -- stored away and taken together: they tell the story of who we are.
The National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress is like America's playlist: a collection of some of the most significant audio recordings in the history of the United States. James Billington, the Librarian of Congress, explains the importance of preserving our great national moments: from rocking out with Bruce Springsteen to President Roosevelt's fireside chats.
Visit the National Recording Preservation Board of the Library of Congress to see a full list of recordings.

Aretha Franklin is awesome!!! To answer Dr. Freud's question: What does a woman want? R E S P E C T
For starters!!!
Too bad it's not worth re-posting this great story. The commercials ruin it. What a waste.
Brian, On a recent broadcast, women in the military feel the deck is stacked against them, and Aretha's
R E S P E C T should mobilize them. BTW, the story about the young girl jumping from the fourth flloor
(and rescued, thank goodness by a hero) brings to mind a similar story in Louisville about a month ago.
A four year old boy fell from the fourth level of a parking garage at a medical center. I believe a bush
broke his fall. Local NBC coverage but nothing appeared in our newspaper.
Good Evening Mr.Williams, A fine broadcast this Tuesday evening July 17th.
With regards to thiis post your interview with Aretha Franklin was very enjoyable. She is a great singer and always liked her song, "R E S P E C T" ! Wonderful singer!
The "Pearl Jam" song, "Just Breathe" sung by Willie Nelson and his son Lukas was very moving. The video of the Willie and his son singing the song was touching and they sound very good singing together. A nice song.
Regading the broadcast tonight and the report by Mr.Tibbles about the tremendous losses being suffered by farmers with their crops is awful. Seeing the fields of corn crops all dry and scorched shows the high temperatures and drought conditions are having a major impact on the yield of produce. It is hearbreaking for the farmers being in business for over 30 yrs and now suffering such heavy losses. The lack of corn crops certainly affects so many other products on the market and effects the economy in major ways. One truly hopes there will be rainfall for the parched fields soon.
The report by Mr.Mohyeldin about intense fighing continuing in the Syrian Capital of Damascus showed the Assad regime could be losing power, yet still stating they have control. The opposition is not giving up the fight against the regime. One does hope for a peaceful end after so many innocent lives being lost.
The "Making A Difference" segement by Mara Schiavocampo was very touching and it was wonderful to see the husky dog being reunited with the family who owned him. A nice piece!
Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!
Be Well Everyone!
Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard!
Take Extra,Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

Good afternoon, Brian.interesting comments last evening by Andrea Mitchell on Russia's President Putin, and I
understand that he and President Obama have agreed to disagree on Syria. Critics say America should not
babysit the world, but I agree with former President George Bush that to whom much is given much is required and that Ameica should intervene in our world. And, personally, I believe the world should intervene in Syria
because the Syrian rebels have fought the good fight. Russia sided with us in our Civil War, and a great nation
was born.
PS Brian, As you know I have a religious worldview and it just came to me, like an epiphany, that Isaiah's
prophecy about a Nation being born may be fulfilled in our lifetime. The Middle East is a group of counties,
not a nation and out of this civil war, like the America Civil War, a great nation may be born which will
transform the Middle East and therefore tranform the World. Have a nice afternoon. Phyllis

Brian, I was disappointed there was no coverage on the Syrian Crisis last night on Rock Center as promoted." Really!"
Anyway, Assad should be shipped off to Africa which would end the symbiotic relationship between him and
Russian President Putin.
Lester, In watching Dateline's Coverage of the Colorado massacre Friday night, it occurred to me that perhaps victim Jessica Ghawi was specifically targeted.
And, Lester, if my "theory" is right, it gives a whole new meaning to the War on Women. If!!! Phyllis
