		Balderdash was started in August 2001, after I'd resisted the WebLog phenomenon for a long time, not wishing to descend into the angst, mindlessness and self-indulgent breast beating that seemed to me to gush forth from the panoply of blogs that were in existence, even then.

	Harry Chapin : Verities & Balderdash - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Verities & Balderdash is a very strange and wonderful album.
		Verities & Balderdash walked several fine lines, between topical songwriting and an almost (but not quite) pretentious sense of its own importance, humor and seriousness, and balladry and punditry, all intermingled with catchy, highly commercial ballads such as "I Wanna Learn a Love Song" (which is about as pretty a song as he ever wrote).
		Chapin is in good voice and thrives in the more commercial sound of this album, which includes lots of electric guitars and overdubbed orchestra and choruses.
