in Right Wing Tactics (II) - How Comcast Censors Political Content on Hungry Blues
This is so wild--mind-boggling, really. The thing is, I might not even *know* that I *hadn't* gotten some email or another...
I don't use Comcast, but I do use Semantac. Funny they manage to filter out After Downing Street yet I still get those annoying emails about IMPORTANT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY and NATIONAL LOTTERY NOTIFICATION.

Thanks for the mention! (I've gone back to the post to clean up the typos that I only noticed reading this on your site. Yikes!)

I don't know what to say about these last two posts: "beautiful," I guess, though that sounds rather trite.
I like to imagine that sound, for those able to hear, survives forgetting. Music is one way to organize sound, and it encodes emotion in a near-primal way (i.e., more base than language). Still further, high and enduring emotionality is what distinguishes surface relationships (the clerk in the convenience store, the professor you have for one semester) from deeper relationships such as family ones.
I feel as if, through your explorations into this music, you are remembering things that are deeper than images or language could convey...
Thank you for continuing to share your process.

Great song--Thank you!
I didn't know about his connection to Billie's "Strange Fruit." I'm getting ready to write about that song. I searched iTunes and found, like, a dozen different versions...
The connection between music and political protest is a fascinating one. Hope you share more of your own reflections about this link as you see it operating in your father's life and the lives of his contemporaries.

in The Battle For America Has Begun on Hungry Blues
Thanks for the link! I agree: powerful--and very well done. So, what's your take on it? My first reaction was "just 'begun'??? This battle has been ongoing for hundreds of years!" but I worry that I may be quibbling a bit. I did, in fact, like the film...

in Post-MLK Day Links on Hungry Blues
Thanks for this post! I did not realize this about "Eyes on the Prize." I'll have to dig out my vhs tapes I made then...If they're still intact, that is. (And if I can figure out how to reconnect the vcr that hasn't been used since we got dvd and pvr players...)
