SPEAKER 07 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 06 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes.
SPEAKER 08 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 06 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did. Get a job, sir. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 01 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 16 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by High Five Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 10 :
Actually, it’s Andy Pate, party of choice. And welcome to our number two here on Rush to Reason. I am Andy Pate filling in for John Rush for just a couple more days. John will be back on Wednesday. Tanner, you’re going to be here on Tuesday, correct?
SPEAKER 17 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. Tanner, Cole. Man. And Ashley Cart. Her. Okay, guys, we’re going to do best female… Vocalists. Best female recording artists. And I want to do the solo artists. I don’t want to do the bands.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. We go on forever.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right. We’ll do bands another time. Now, what we’re going to do, and if anybody wants to call in with any of their favorites, 303-477-5600. Give us a call. We’ll see if we can put yours on. We will put yours on. I am going to play five songs, and we’re going to see how quickly you can guess who the singer is.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m ready.
SPEAKER 10 :
Are you ready?
SPEAKER 15 :
This is going to end well.
SPEAKER 10 :
This is going to end well. I’m going to start with an easy one. Here we go. You ready? Here we go.
SPEAKER 15 :
Katy Perry.
SPEAKER 10 :
Boy, he killed you on this.
SPEAKER 12 :
I started singing along to the song. I forgot the game. The sun keeps getting so hot.
SPEAKER 1 :
Well, now you’re popsicle.
SPEAKER 15 :
That was a great music video.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, it was cute. And Katy Perry has a great voice, by the way.
SPEAKER 12 :
That was one of the first CDs that had a parental advisory notice on it that I ever bought for myself. I got it at a hot, not a hot topic, a Hollister.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, really?
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, let’s go back in time. Let’s go to something much older and see which one of you knows something a little older. Here we go. Okay, listen to this. Can you hear that? cheryl crow cheryl crow if it makes you happy wow wow you are on a roll i like soak up the sun a little more that’s me my best friend’s song but yeah i wasn’t sure which one of those to do okay you know what i’m gonna challenge you i’m gonna go back further okay okay are you ready are you ready i’m ready i was trying to very subtly cheat but i can’t so we’re gonna go back a little older here we go one of my favorite singers
SPEAKER 17 :
Come on, you’re singing it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Who is it? This is the problem. I know the songs. I don’t know who sings them.
SPEAKER 15 :
I always thought this was a dude.
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s not a dude.
SPEAKER 1 :
Charlie?
SPEAKER 12 :
Charlie?
SPEAKER 10 :
Tina Turner.
SPEAKER 12 :
Oh, you know, I was staring at her name on my list and I was going, I don’t think that’s Tina Turner.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, she was wonderful. She was wonderful.
SPEAKER 15 :
I should have got that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, we got to go to one that’s super easy for Ashley. Oh, thanks. You’re struggling. You’re struggling, Ashley. Here we go.
SPEAKER 12 :
This is Taylor Swift.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yes. Can we… What? Can we cross her off the list so we don’t have to talk about her again?
SPEAKER 12 :
You know, Taylor Swift… Careful, she’ll sue you for just playing that small little clip.
SPEAKER 10 :
I will say this. Taylor Swift is a very striking young lady. She’s very tall, very pretty. Oh, yeah. You know, quite talented. I don’t think she writes any of her stuff.
SPEAKER 12 :
She has writing credits on most of her things, but I don’t think she fully writes them.
SPEAKER 15 :
I mean, I could write the songs. It’s not too difficult.
SPEAKER 03 :
Boy, you hate Taylor Swift.
SPEAKER 12 :
I have to give a disclaimer. I don’t actually hate Taylor Swift. I don’t like her fans.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, they’re Trump supporters now.
SPEAKER 12 :
Some of them are, yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
They are now. Okay, I’m going to go way back in time. I’m going to do one more, and then you guys are going to list a couple of yours. Ready? This is going way back in time.
SPEAKER 05 :
We started walking and learned to run.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s not Diana Ross. No.
SPEAKER 04 :
I feel like you’re cheating.
SPEAKER 12 :
There’s a male voice in here.
SPEAKER 04 :
Come on. Celine? No. No. I…
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, you’re drawing a blank. That is Karen Carpenter of the Carpenters. Oh, I had that written down, too. I wouldn’t have gotten that. Karen Carpenter had the best alto tone, the best alto singing voice of a generation.
SPEAKER 15 :
She’s so talented, too.
SPEAKER 10 :
I mean, she, and it was really a tragic story as well. Unfortunately, she had an eating disorder. Right. But my gosh, people could not get enough of her voice.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, great drummer. I was about to say that. Yeah, she was also a drummer. Yeah, she was very talented.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, I mean, she was so talented.
SPEAKER 15 :
She was more talented than her older brothers. When she was like 17, she was already live on some of those late night shows.
SPEAKER 10 :
Right, and that singing voice… People could not get enough. She could have sung anything. They put out some Christmas tunes, and people were buying it off the shelves. It was clearing the shelves. People couldn’t get enough of the Carpenters doing the Christmas music just because of her voice. That’s how popular Karen Carpenter was. Okay, Tanner, you’re up.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, maybe my favorite female voice of all time, Diana Ross.
SPEAKER 10 :
Diana Ross.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
She was so good. Now, I think… Nope, that’s not her. I’m trying to find her.
SPEAKER 15 :
The Supremes, if you got any of that.
SPEAKER 10 :
I don’t have the Supremes. I don’t have the Supremes. I did have a Diana Ross. Here’s the thing. I’m scrolling literally through like 30 or 40. Well, I got her somewhere and I can’t find it. Sorry about that. Diana Ross had a beautiful voice. And she was a beautiful lady, too. I really liked her. Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER 12 :
She’s not dead.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, Charlie’s saying she’s not dead. I didn’t say she was dead. I was talking about when she was performing. Oh, and here we go. Diana Ross.
SPEAKER 21 :
Instinctively you give to me the love that I need. I cherish the moments with you. Respectfully I say to thee, I’m aware that you’re cheating. But no one makes me feel like you do.
SPEAKER 10 :
Do you remember that song?
SPEAKER 15 :
Me?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, I was born then.
SPEAKER 10 :
You were literally born during that song. I did not know that, Tanner.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s the song I was conceived to.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s some TMI, Tanner.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. Ashley, you are up.
SPEAKER 12 :
All right. I am going to go with someone that I’m pretty sure neither of you know. Her name is Casey Lee Williams.
SPEAKER 10 :
I do not know her.
SPEAKER 12 :
So she is a vocalist for a band, but she also does her own stuff. Her fame came out of the company called Rooster Teeth, where she did all of the singing for the music for their show, RWBY. Really? Yep. At 13 years old, she had this beautiful, full soprano voice. Wow. And it just got better and better. Oh, my goodness. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, that’s very impressive. Okay, I’m going to do something. I’m going to get way back in the Wayback Machine. One of the greatest voices ever. Are you ready? Ready. Okay, here we go.
SPEAKER 12 :
Is this Aretha Franklin? Yes! Yeah! She did it! I got it. I know Aretha Franklin.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, she’s great. Aretha Franklin, what a voice. What a voice. Okay. Let’s do something a little more modern, not super modern. Here we go.
SPEAKER 04 :
Beyonce. Whoa.
SPEAKER 12 :
Every middle school dance had this song. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hey, it’s a pro-marriage song. Yeah. If you like it, put a ring on it. I think that’s pretty cool. Okay, let’s do something a little bit different.
SPEAKER 1 :
Megan Trainor. You’re on fire!
SPEAKER 12 :
These are the songs I’ve heard and never will listen to again. Yeah. I thought it was cute. This song was really, really cute, and then everyone did a parody of it.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes, they did. They did do a parody. Okay, let’s do one that’s obvious. So it’s going to be a race on this one. Here we go.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, we’re racing. Madonna.
SPEAKER 10 :
There you go. Yep. He beat you. I know. Well, he had lost three or four in a row.
SPEAKER 15 :
I didn’t realize we were still doing that.
SPEAKER 12 :
I always forget that this is Madonna. When I think of Madonna, I think of like a virgin.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. This was a great song, though. Material Girl. That was very, very popular. Alrighty, let’s do one that’s a little tougher. Here we go. One more.
SPEAKER 12 :
Avril Lavigne. Are you kidding me? Look at me. I grew up listening to Avril Lavigne.
SPEAKER 15 :
She was good. I liked her.
SPEAKER 12 :
There was one note. I know this song. This skater boy, Avril Lavigne, was my girl when I was younger and just entering my goth punk scene phase.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, she has a great voice, by the way, but one note. You do it in one… That’s not possible. Is there a mirror behind me? Are you looking at the music?
SPEAKER 12 :
No, I just… Complicated by Avril Lavigne was one of my anthems.
SPEAKER 15 :
That whole album was pretty good. I remember my mom playing the CD every time we’d go home. from uh elementary school or it was james blunt and that’s who i like more okay well next time it comes around to me i’m gonna play some harder ones i gotta make you guys work a little bit more here okay tanner you’re up oh okay um maybe the best voice of all time whitney houston gone too soon yes oh whitney houston what a voice and i do yeah it was that kevin costner movie the bodyguard was that what it was called oh yeah she was great in that too here we go
SPEAKER 10 :
The power of her voice was just almost unimaginable.
SPEAKER 12 :
I know. There are only two artists, I think, that can… No one can beat Whitney Houston, but I think there’s two female artists that can match her. And it could be controversial, but it’s Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande.
SPEAKER 10 :
Controversial. Well, Ariana Grande does a killer impersonation of her.
SPEAKER 12 :
She does. And Kelly Clarkson just has the range. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard her sing that song, but Kelly Clarkson singing that song is amazing.
SPEAKER 15 :
Kelly Clarkson’s the chubby one, right? I just think about that.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, so now we’ve got Kelly Clarkson figured out she’s the chubby one, says Tanner.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I was thinking of Carrie Underwood, I think.
SPEAKER 10 :
Not very politically correct.
SPEAKER 12 :
You could have just said the first winner of American Idol.
SPEAKER 10 :
The chubby one.
SPEAKER 12 :
No, Kelly Clarkson won the first season of American Idol.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, you are up, Ashley.
SPEAKER 12 :
I am up. All right. We’ll go for another probably unknown for you guys. Her name is Rosé.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 12 :
I talked about her a little bit when we did the male artist. She did a song with Bruno Mars, APT. She is one of the members of the K-pop group Blackpink, but has ventured out on her own and has released her own music, and she’s really, really good, really talented. Grew up in Australia. Is she Asian?
SPEAKER 10 :
Even though she’s Korean.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, she’s Korean, but she grew up in Australia.
SPEAKER 10 :
Very cool. Very cool. Okay, let’s take a break. We’re going to come back. I think I’m going to stump you guys a little bit more when we come back, all right? Up next is American National Insurance.

SPEAKER 08 :
Music that moves you. Legends of the 60s and 70s on our sister station, 95.3 FM and 810 AM.
SPEAKER 04 :
I feel the earth move under my feet. I feel the sky tumbling down. I feel my heart start to tremble and
SPEAKER 22 :
putting Reason into your afternoon drive. This is John Rush.
SPEAKER 10 :
And welcome back to Rush Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. That was Carole King, correct? Because you whispered it in my ear. But I thought I knew that one anyway. Okay, we got Andy. We got Tanner.
SPEAKER 17 :
We got Ashley.
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m just trying to throw you guys off. Okay. I’m going to do one now that is more from my time. One of my favorites, so you probably won’t know her.
SPEAKER 12 :
I don’t speak ancient Egyptian.
SPEAKER 10 :
I know you don’t. This is definitely hieroglyphics. Here we go. No idea, right?
SPEAKER 12 :
I feel like I should know, but I don’t.
SPEAKER 10 :
She actually played God in the movie Dogma.
SPEAKER 12 :
What?
SPEAKER 10 :
I know, Alanis Morissette. Who? Alanis Morissette.
SPEAKER 12 :
All right, I did not know that at all.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yes. Okay, let’s do another one. Let’s see if you’re up for this one. Here’s another hard one. Here we go.
SPEAKER 15 :
Michelle Branch. You did it! I looked it up. I was going to say, there’s no way you got that. I don’t think either of us would have.
SPEAKER 10 :
Michelle Branch. What era are you from? I’m a… Well, as you know, I am 161 years old.
SPEAKER 15 :
I thought you meant your era would be like 60s, 70s.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, it kind of jumps around. But yeah, I do have some 60s, 70s here, but I didn’t want to go back quite that far. Okay, you want to go back that far? You want to go there? You want to go there? Okay, here we go. Here we go.
SPEAKER 04 :
All right, Tanner, you asked for it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Who is it? Come on, Tanner.
SPEAKER 15 :
Probably not on my list. That’s the problem. Carly Simon. I have her on my list, too. The problem is I have so many names, and I can’t remember all their songs just because I like the dudes a lot more from that era.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, we’re going to do an easy one because you guys are hurting with the old ones. I’ve put you through it. This one’s semi-old, but it’s going to be easy.
SPEAKER 12 :
Britney Spears.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yep. I’m never going to get that. She’s not even on my list.
SPEAKER 10 :
You know, I hear she’s turned her life around. That’s good.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, she’s gone through some struggles, but I think after the conservatorship ended, things got better.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, good for her. She was actually a terrific dancer.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right. Hips don’t lie. Tanner, you’re up. Let’s go with another one of my favorites, Stevie Nicks.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
She was solo, and then she also had the great band Fleetwood Mac, of course.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah, here we go. Gypsy. Not bad for a witch.
SPEAKER 11 :
Nope.
SPEAKER 10 :
How much was she a practicing witch? I guess she was.
SPEAKER 12 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 10 :
Maybe it was more just her gimmick. Go ahead. You’re up, Ashley.
SPEAKER 12 :
All right. Well, Tanner said hips don’t lie, and then you said gypsy. I’m going to be in physical pain if I don’t mention Shakira.
SPEAKER 15 :
Shakira, Shakira.
SPEAKER 10 :
You know, I did not get a song for Shakira. But yes, I mean, nobody works the hips.
SPEAKER 12 :
Nobody works the hips like Shakira. And Tanner, a fellow football fan, you have to admit that Shakira had one of the best World Cup songs. This time for Africa.
SPEAKER 15 :
Sure, but she screwed up her marriage, so that’s not my fault.
SPEAKER 10 :
Because she didn’t ask you?
SPEAKER 12 :
No, she was married to one of the best… No, because she was married to someone from Barcelona.
SPEAKER 15 :
Piqué. Gerard Piqué. One of the best center backs ever.
SPEAKER 10 :
And she dared mess that up. Yep. That’s terrible. Just for that, I don’t like Shakira. He’s fine.
SPEAKER 15 :
He’s a good player. And I don’t even know what you’re talking about. Yeah, he trolled her pretty hard.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, up next, let’s talk to Soren from Fort Collins. Soren, do you got any great women vocalists, recording artists?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, the problem is I don’t usually listen to… female singers. So I’m very sexy. Go ahead. Julie Andrews is pretty good.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, what a voice.
SPEAKER 09 :
Beautiful. What a carpenter. I know you already had her but that was probably the best female singer ever.
SPEAKER 10 :
Karen Carpenter.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, my gosh. What a voice. Well, I don’t know, though. What about Julie Andrews that you just said? I mean, Julie Andrews had a voice and a half. It was unbelievable what she could do.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s true for a fact. But I don’t know. Karen Carpenter was pretty good. Julie Andrews is pretty good. And then Guy Lapivi for I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas. Yes.
SPEAKER 10 :
Well done. Well done. Soren, good job, sir.
SPEAKER 09 :
And then, Andy, you were saying that that movie that you reviewed earlier doesn’t make any sense. Well, it actually does. You have a Tesla as your getaway car, because then you also have to pack a back generator with you, and they’re very fast.
SPEAKER 12 :
I was thinking as soon as it bursts into flames, at least it’ll keep you warm.
SPEAKER 10 :
Hey, don’t be knocking the Cybertruck. That’ll keep you warm, but Soren, they didn’t pack a generator. These are dumb preppers. Okay.
SPEAKER 09 :
Okay, but, you know, that Cybertruck that exploded, it had to have an explosive in there, because otherwise that stainless steel shell would have been melted if it was a battery fire.
SPEAKER 10 :
You know, I wouldn’t know. I only know this, Soren, that if you were in that movie, you would have survived longer than most of these people. Just so you know. Soren, thanks for joining us, man. Okay. Take care. Okay, guys, I’m going to make these next few a little easier. I think you can get this one. Here we go. Tanner, get ready. Tanner said there haven’t been enough pretty girls. This one’s pretty.
SPEAKER 12 :
Come on, Tanner.
SPEAKER 15 :
I know the song. Is it Shania Twain? Don’t say it.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yes! Thank you.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m surprised I got that. That was a shot in the dark. She’s still kind of hot.
SPEAKER 10 :
You’ve got to say Shania was good looking. Come on now. This is Shania Twain. And her voice.
SPEAKER 15 :
I don’t follow females at all, so it’s hard for me to disassociate one voice from the other.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, here’s one that she did not have many big songs, but this was very big. Here we go.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh. It’s a fight song. No. I don’t listen to this type of music. Stop. Stop.
SPEAKER 12 :
I genuinely can’t remember. Hilary Duff. Best guess would be Alicia Keys, but I don’t think it’s Alicia Keys. Okay, here.
SPEAKER 15 :
Rochelle.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay, Rachel Clayton.
SPEAKER 15 :
One Hit Wonder?
SPEAKER 10 :
Well, she had a few others, but that’s a song from now on that I want you to use, Tanner, when you’re working out.
SPEAKER 15 :
Wouldn’t that come out like 2010s?
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah. Okay, I’m going to make it even easier on you guys, because you’re struggling a little. You’re struggling a little. You’re making me feel old.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s another song that it’s like, I know that song. That’s a very popular song in fan fiction.
SPEAKER 10 :
But you’re making me feel old, so I’m going to make it real easy. Here we go. Miley Cyrus. Thank you. Okay, we’re going to play a little.
SPEAKER 17 :
This is Donald Trump coming into office, baby.
SPEAKER 10 :
Actually, he’s going to build walls.
SPEAKER 17 :
See, now I got to wonder, are you going to trick us by playing Hannah Montana next?
SPEAKER 10 :
I’m not going to play Hannah Montana. You guys are really struggling, but you got that one. Okay. One more fairly easy one. I think you’re going to lose on this one, Tanner. Probably. No? Nothing?
SPEAKER 12 :
I’m waiting for Tanner to see if he can get this one.
SPEAKER 14 :
I know the songs. Chubby Girl. There’s a lot of them.
SPEAKER 10 :
She’s not chubby anymore. I know that, but Tanner was saying she was chubby.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s how Tanner described her. He described her as chubby. Yeah.
SPEAKER 10 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 15 :
I heard all these songs when I was like eight, and then I cleared them out of my memory bank.
SPEAKER 10 :
Oh, that hurts my feelings. Okay, Tanner, you’re up. I’m going to have a good cry. I’m going to go next door and have a good cry.
SPEAKER 15 :
I’m only going to do the older females I have on this list. Let’s go with Little Eva.
SPEAKER 10 :
Little Eva. I have actually heard that name. Oh!
SPEAKER 15 :
Everybody do it.
SPEAKER 10 :
Yeah! That’s classic. That is classic. Way to go, man.
SPEAKER 15 :
Mine are all classics.
SPEAKER 10 :
Okay. Oh, good. Ashley, you’re up.
SPEAKER 12 :
Olivia Newton-John.
SPEAKER 10 :
Olivia Newton-John. You know, I don’t have anything of her. I can’t believe it.
SPEAKER 12 :
I cannot believe you don’t have anything for Olivia Newton-John.
SPEAKER 10 :
I know. No, let’s get physical. Oh, she had a beautiful voice. I really liked her. Okay. Should we go to break?
SPEAKER 17 :

SPEAKER 03 :
Here’s why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. The idea is that you’re going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist’s perspective is that you’re going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we’re talking about six people that you don’t know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you’re the one who’s hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it’s worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don’t know and were witnesses to believe that’s what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks. Call now for a free consultation. 303-806-8886

The holidays are the busiest season for plumbers, and High Five Plumbing, Electrical, Heating, and Cooling wants you to be ready now. There are several things you can do to prevent freezing, busted pipes, and other plumbing issues just as guests arrive. If you have plumbing inside cabinets, leave the doors open to warm them. especially if they are on an exterior wall. Hi-5 can better insulate pipes if this is a constant issue. And if you’re going away for a vacation, don’t forget to turn the water off to prevent those really bad emergency pipe breaks. When the cold dips lower than normal, leaving your faucets dripping will keep water flowing and prevent it from freezing. Plumbing inside your home is constantly degrading. So even if you haven’t had an issue in previous years, Hi-5 can help you make sure it’s still working. Have them out for a pre-holiday inspection and receive a waived inspection fee just for being a KLZ listener. Schedule your inspection today at klzradio.com slash plumbing.

American Stonehenge by Mike Goldstein is more than just a children’s book. It’s a way to connect with the children in your life and encourage them to read to you and for themselves. When Mike Goldstein started writing American Stonehenge, he went after a specific problem. Children today don’t think for themselves, and test scores nationwide show that. American Stonehenge is gorgeously put together, so it’ll draw their attention. It’s filled with action. The prose flows as smooth as sand through an hourglass. And it’s historically accurate from the stories and the illustrations. But it’s also a portal to quality time with children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. It’s a way to connect with them while tacitly teaching them the importance of critical thought and giving them a break from scrolling in their free time. Find American Stonehenge on klzradio.com slash read and bring your family together this holiday season.
