I Was a Dane County Republican!
An inside look at the elephants in the room
By Sally Franson: "They are here, even if we don't admit it. They walk among us, invisible to the naked eye, members of a minority utterly foreign to us.... They are the Republicans of Dane County, a small spot of crimson in a region overrun with blue." Writer Sally Franson goes undercover with the Dane County GOP for a month, and lives to tell about it.

Old school
Madison's early music scene
is remarkably vibrant
By John W. Barker: While many larger cities have nurtured groups devoted to period-performance practice, Madison is unusual in having grown in this area on a scale quite beyond what might be expected in a city its size, and over little more than two decades. (Photo courtesy trevorstephenson.com.)

PLUS: News & Opinion: Watchdog tracks the exodus of talent from Madison's broadcast media market. Joe Tarr looks into the difficulities of enforcing the laws regarding disabled parking. Ruth Conniff asks why the Dems aren't following through on their agenda for schools. Music: Jessica Steinhoff checks in with Harmony Bar owner Keith Daniels about the blues-drenched tavern's 20th anniversary. Rich Albertoni talks to Newfoundland's Great Big Sea, who perform the English, Irish and Scottish folk music of their homeland. TV: Dean Robbins says The Pacific, HBO's Band of Brothers World War II follow-up, is unintentionally hilarious. Movies: Kenneth Burns says uninitiated viewers may be perplexed by the Frederick Wiseman's ballet documentary La Danse. Also: She's Out of My League
