Steal This Radio
Much music and poetry in this week's show! Mitchel Cohen recites his poem, "To Comrades Fallen", for Brad Will and Susan Blake. Our friend Brad Will was murdered in Oaxaca Mexico by right wing paramilitaries funded by the U.S. government one year ago this week, and Susan Blake -- Long Island's most noted peace organizer and WBAI radioactivist -- died of breast cancer that had spread to her liver on October 2, 2007. Mitchel also gives his picks for the WBAI radio (99.5 FM) listener-member elections to the Local Station Board, and discusses some of the troubles at that listener-sponsored commercial-free Pacifica station. And, sandwiched by much great music by Manu Chao, Anne Feeney, Dave Rovics, and Phil Ochs, Mitchel reads Henry Miller's insights and reminiscences about the doctrine of cleanliness. Mitchel ends with another one of his own sarcastic poems "Be Sure to Wear A Condom when You're Shooting Up (Stay at Home)". Don't go outside, don't do ANYTHING, stay home and watch TV ....
