Three Beautiful Things 11/10/07: Victory, Led Zeppelin, Violence

1. The long time underachievers of the Big 10, Illinois, rose up and conquered the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes today, 28-21. Will the Oregon Ducks rise to #2 or, gasp, #1 in the BCS standings this week? I'm on pins and needles.

2. I discovered today that XM Radio has a new channel that plays Led Zeppelin 24/7. I feel a whole lotta love.

3. I spent much of this evening going deeper and deeper into Ken Burns' program "The West". It's all about violence. It's unnerving just how violent the history of the west is and how alive that violence continues to be.
