When a stray dog collapsed in front of Mark Hayward’s home, his first thought was to try to save her. A ferry ride to the nearest vet revealed that the dog suffered from malnutrition, dehydration, mange and a deeply entrenched heartworm parasite. The dog could be saved—the only problem was the cost.
Mark tweeted a plea for help to his followers, but the response wasn’t enough to pay for the dog’s needs.

Indie Legends Celebrate the Songs of Shel Silverstein
by Maria Popova
Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket, Dr. Dog, and other indie icons pay homage to the beloved children’s author.
Though best-known as the author of children’s classics like The Giving Tree, beloved author Shel Silverstein (whose recent posthumous anthologyof 137 never-before-seen poems and drawings is among the season’s greatest treats) was also a prolific songwriter. Not only did the album version of his book Where The Sidewalk Ends win a Grammy in 1984 for Best Children’s Recording, but he also collaborated with a number of prominent “grown-up” musicians between 1959 and his death in 1999, including Johnny Cash (“A Boy Named Sue”), Irish Rovers (“The Unicorn Song”), and Bobby Bare (“Daddy What If,” among many others).
Twistable, Turnable Man: A Musical Tribute to the Songs of Shel Silverstein(iTunes link) is a fantastic homage to Silverstein by a formidable roster of contemporary indie music icons, including Andrew Bird, My Morning Jacket,Dr. Dog, Lucinda Williams, and Bobby Bare, Jr., Bobby Bare’s son, performing with his four-year-old daughter Bella.
Rianbow Rumpus has a wonderful interview with Bobby Bare, Jr. on his memories of Silverstein and how the author’s ethic of fearlessness influenced his own songwriting.
