No, I do not take Zombies with my Jane Austen, so you know I’m talking about the musical group of the 60s! Well, they’ve reunified for some new songs and gigs, and the fab Dawn Eden reports on their recent DC-area concert over at the Weekly Standard.

For those who didn’t see the first time around, my Rock Songbook began with four epic posts on what may be the greatest 60s album, Odessey and Oracle , especially concentrating on the hit “Time of the Season,” but also taking in the glorious “Changes,” the ambivalent “Friends of Mine,” and then settin’ down for some Platonic analysis of why it’s hard to convey wisdom in rock-song, even for a group as great as the Zombies.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
