[dar-list] Democracy now

[Sharon G]

i decided to commemorate the events of 9-11 with the people who are on
the cutting edge of  the truth and send out those airwaves that barely
get through the shrubs and landscape of the suburbs.... Wbai...

Amy Goodman opened the night and introduced the CHarles Hayden
Liberation Orchestra
who played three tunes including a jazz version of Amazing Grace. Then
Juan Gonzalez, amy's compatriot, talked about his long term 5 years of
reporting of the tainted air quality of lower manhattan. Juan was the
first to break the story and didnt realize how deeply the coverup of
the facts were.... A poem by Suheir Hammad

(this poem made the man next to me break down and sob)

9-11 families for peace spoke next with a rwandian genocide survivor
and a south african who was a victim of state sponsored violence

Dar williams was next ... she opened with
it happens everyday
Empire
are you out here...

dar was dressed in jeans, boots, her Mpower teeshirt and a scarf.
her guitar sounded great

David Goodman read from this and amy's new book Static and are
lauching a new book tour.

i didnt stay past 10 pm....

but i did catch Dar's honoring Amy Goodman and BAI

Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you're getting a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night
