Capitalism can mean all kinds of things - a group of people lending money to someone who wants to set up a workshop to make something useful, that's one kind. A bunch of rich crooks organising to exploit and steal the resources of a community on the other side of the world, that's capitalism too.

The point of this whole operation was to send a message to the people who run the planet that they need to watch their backs, because while they are cosying up to their bosses in the corporations, there is a groundswell of ordinary people who are wanting something different, and the clock is ticking.   And that message is mostly aimed at Bush - and the people who pull his strings on behalf of the people who his proprietors.

I taped most of the London show, because I had other stuff to do, and I knew that there'd be a whole lot of it I'd sooner let the tape machine listen to than listen to it myself. I've found myself fast forwarding over much of the music; the best bits tended to come in between the music, from what I've seen so far. The Eden Concert looks pretty good though - and the little snatches I've seen from Canada and Jo'burg.

Philly - well, mostly not my kind of music from the bits I've seen. Why should it be? Yes I know if, we on the Mudcat were choosing the muusic it'd be a far better concert to listen to (though we'd fight like hell about what to inclkude) - but people out there wouldn't be listening to it. Strange but true.

Anyway, if someone comes up with a link to Neil Young closing the Canada concert, it'd be good to to see that. Great to hear that he's back making music again.
