WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE

 
 
Some of my best friends and I have lived this, marched in this, wrote songs about this, protested in city halls and universities about this 50 years ago. 
 
I am so very disappointed that nothing, absolutely nothing we attempted to create within our Counter Culture movement succeeded in creating a lasting enlightenment of consciousness for the people in this country. 
 
In my world, I was proud to stand on the shoulders of my creative and enlightened mentors such as Dylan, Lennon, Baez and scores of other musicians who took a stand and lifted up the moral compass and took their hits from the bigots and haters while alienating themselves from half of their fans who refused to learn, grow and rise up into the same enlightenment. 
 
With this being said,  I am calling out my musician friends, my film maker friends my fellow poets and social activist friends to rise up and pull your heads out of the sand! 
 
Stop worrying about whether your downloads might suffer your concert attendance drop or that some redneck might say something on your Facebook Fan page.  
 
Rise up and stand .... or do we settle for the label the Counter Culture was left with 40 years ago? ..."Stoners, Commies and Whiners"...    
 
SAY Something ... be brave... return to your youths' idealism 
 
Remember:   
 

 
A recent article of one of the disciples of Martin Luther King Jr., Congressman John Lewis:

Lies of a Nations' Educational Institutions

Image
The most notable factor to today's ever evolving cycle of prejudice, racism and xenophobia in the United States, is the total failure within the Department of Education and American Scholastic Societies' who improperly processed and altered unequivocal facts and truths...  ...facts and consequences of all revelations, conflicts and resolutions within or without the United States of America since it's inception.  Most notably the American Civil War. For those of you who wish to believe in your teachers, friends and family's misguided educations, who proclaim: "...that the Civil War was not about slavery? It was about states rights and had nothing to do with slavery.." you are being lead down a false & slippery slope.  Enclosed below is 'The Cornerstone Speech' which newly appointed: Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Confederacy States of America wrote and addressed his Confederate constituents on March 22nd, 1861__ ......."The...

Do Not Blame God For Religion

Image
Do not blame God for war and do not blame God for religion.   The ignorance of humankind is your culprit. When a people employ their religion to justify the mass assault and extermination of an adversary_ They instantaneously exorcise God from their souls and abandon all rights of virtue for humanity's cause.    For two thousand years, a mass bastardization of scripture has lead the world to horrific unjustifiable wars, famine and genocide.  Rendering 'religion' a tool of geo-political agendas while shattering the templates of God's gifts.   So let us not blame God for religion.  N or should we blame God for man’s irresponsible and self-serving interpretations of scripture.   The message from 'the light' has been extinguished by self appointed messengers as they destroy the holistic veneration and substance of spirituality in order to serve their tribal agendas. The simple lack of theological education of the masses who have misinterpreted scripture's ...

A Vote for an Amoral Candidate to Increase Your Bank Account, Is a Vote to end American Democracy

Image
Do you really think these people are going to fix the economy, gun control, immigration and woman's rights, in the current dysfunctional tribalism that permeates the halls of Washington D.C.?  If you do, you are lost and very much part of the problem. To VOTE for an Amoral Candidate, void of honor, virtue, reverence, respect or morals, who might provide your Economic, Immigration and 2nd Amendment GOALS, is a VOTE for the inevitable collapse of Democracy within the United States.  Political grifters were voted in by we the people, simply because of our willful ignorance of just who they really are.  We bought the jargon, the cookie cutter speeches, the tainted statistics and the false political ads they spend hundreds of millions of dollars to brain-wash the naive American voter.  'Mr. Smith Goes To Washington', was not a Hollywood fantasy story.   It is quite an accurate depiction of how Washington D.C. has functioned since the passing of our founding fathers a...
