Subject: RE: Ron Olesko's 'Traditions' Radio Show
And I think Ronnie and Erik's message about George Bush, in that 'Oh Sinner Man' video says it all..

Ronnie: "If ever there was a time when it was appropriate to speak out, *this is the time* That is our treasure. That is our history. That is what living in a democracy is all about

Erik: "The hubris and the gross ineptitude of this president is so *massive* that I think 'Oh Sinner Man' was really a gem of a thing to use. *Someone's gotta say something.*"

The Weavers

Hell, we need our protest singers BACK!

Someone send for Bruce Murdoch, Ron Bankley, et al, fast!

Get them all back to Greenwich Village...and let's get this show back on the road, from where it left off, so long ago, because apathy has swamped everyone for way too long. See..Erik and Ronnie have inspired me! :0)

Thanks Bill, for introducing me to The Weavers. I didn't know much about them, now I do.

And *that* is the power of *good* radio, rather than Radio For Proles, which has swamped so much of mainstream airtime around the world.
