about

One of the most influential and politically active American Poets -a pivotal figure of the Beat Generation known for his expressive stream of conscious delivery style and his explicit descriptions of sexuality and the human body. Outspoken against militarism, capitalism, censorship and nuclear weapons. He advocated for pacifism, gay rights, free speech and the peaceful coexistence of humans in all their diversity of views and opinions. He was a scholar and teacher inspiring generations of writers and poets via his uninhibited, uncompromising works in print that reached a global audience, translated into more than twenty-two languages. He co-founded and directed the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at the Naropa Institute in Colorado and became a distinguished professor at Brooklyn College.

they picked the cotton that saved the world. that picked cotton propelled u.s. economy; a unique capitalist setup. (though anglo saxon colonizers are not unique.) so many pop stars and hip hop billboard mainstays trumpet u.s. capitalism ad nauseam; or escapism & distraction. "Don't Die," also powerful. "i don't believe they lies. don't believe their truth, need they heads for proof" -- that's direct and powerful. the violinist Saydah Ruz stands out here, i think. Jeremy Leaming

Energy time maddafakkas! This is hard hitting free jazz for the revolution. Listening to this you could believe it might actually happen! Anyone who thinks Jazz is for old folks should give this a spin. It couldn’t be more contemporary to my ears. Crinklechips
