...From the House’s point of view, the message I want to get to the freshmen is that quiet prayer in the Randolph Courtyard will be greatly welcomed by Adams House gods, whereas drunken howling is one of the best ways to guarantee that you’re not getting in,” he joked...
Shearwater’s romanticism is perfectly reflected in the opening thirty seconds of the album. Before even a note is played, a profound tribal song, reminiscent of a prayer, greets the listener.

The U.S. Congress technically hosts the National Prayer Breakfast, and we urge it to choose other, less embattled organizers for such occasions. There are other faith-based groups that do not share such extreme, antagonizing views as The Family, and they would be more suited to head an event primarily dedicated to friendship building. Although Obama made the right decision...
