@Matt said in Parenting:

Obviously a person with 4 kids like children

Your assuming a lot with that statement

I love them all but I "like" 25-50% of them depending on the day (it rotates as to which child has had the most meltdowns or elbowed me in the crotch that day)

Disclaimer from a later re-issue :
"The liner notes to this album include language that dehumanizes incarcerated musicians. Smithsonian Folkways has updated our descriptions of albums recorded in prisons to avoid frameworks that wholly attach artists’ identities to their experience in prison. This album is a historical document of not only the stories of its performers, but of the racism of the prison system and the music industry at that moment"

@68degreesorless for sure - I am the much less cool friend who lives in the suburbs with a desk job and 4 kids.......

@68degreesorless I have some close friends outside of Tingo Maria who live in dome type houses in the jungle

@68degreesorless excellent score

I have zero clue who any of these artists are (intended as the sincerest form of compliment)
