I'm your VJ/DJ, Justice Putnam; and I'll be manning the dials, spinning the discs, warbling the woofers, putting a slip in your hip and a trip to your hop.
Sit back, roam the Big Orange and have a listen to...
Black Kos Music: Late Night in the Justice Department.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After forty-one years, the murder of the four students at Kent State by the Ohio National Guard haunts me still; but I confess, of the four killed that day, the murder of Allison Krause haunts me even more...
"... So that is how we ascend!
In the clawed feet of fallen angels.
To be assembled again
in the work rooms of clouds... "
"... She rose from where they found her lying
not far from a water urn, leaving
herself behind on the ground
where they found her, holding her arms
before her as if she were asleep.
That is how she appears to me: a ghost in heaven.
Carrying her arms in her arms... "
-- Carolyn Forché
from: "The Ghost of Heaven"

Question: Who is your audience? What are you here for?
Answer: Tribal Alliances, Heart-felt Convictions, Passionate Reason, Random Abandon, Sustainable Civility and a kiss; to comfort the sad and the mad Ones; the Ones roaming the International section of the American Supermarket at night; or roaming the neglected streets looking for an angry malaprop to sink their teeth into; the Ones who seek without seeking and learn as much as they teach; the Ones who embrace and kiss and embrace again; the Ones who sing the song of the city and the ballads of the forest; the Ones who chant the rhythm of the sea and hum the melody of the desert; the Ones who sing the prayer of Her name and Her name is the World. Yes, those are the Ones.

(I've pledged the minimum $150 to help heat freezing folks in need on the Rosebud Reservation. Navajo has an important diary posted with all the particulars. Even a small amount can work towards building the minimum. Could you please help?)
