Questionalble facts? Name one. But, let's first have a name. Frankly, not being infallable, when I have passed on information which proved to be incorect when sent to me, I have owned up to it. As to the numerous "Guests" who are likely a single troll, my new policy is that I have nothing to say to any coward who attacks me without using a name. Anyone out there notice that not a single person who says I am difficult to get on with, or acuses me of untruths, uses their names? That should tell you more than alot, it should tell you everything.
Fact is I wrote to the Bells, they owned up to the misunderstanding in the term being abducted by my band, I appologised for them being outed in this post.
Here is what I don't need to appologise for. There are three things I need from a musician. 1. Care for the purpose of the music, people's basic rights and dignity and the preservation of rights we are loosing in the nation and the world. 2. Practice enough for the music to honnor the people we sing about. 3. Show up.
That's it. Having not found that, the point of the thread is technology makes it possible to carry on.
Rick, ya know I have nothing but respect for you. But, as to the publisity, fact is one has to push to be heard, especially in a nation with open censorship of the things I am saying. I think the quality of YOUR music...well, you SHOULD find someone to rattle publiicty cages for you.
One last note ... why did Koch give me a citation for something that happened in Boston? I was building and racing Irish currachs in Boston. Our crew was made up of New Yorkers of every ethnic background as well as a lot of Irish and Irish Americans. We raced in seven cities in the US and Ireland. One day the Boston team captain said to me you can bring your black boats to Boston but leave you N***rs in New York. I tried to have the national league deal with it, and was told I should keep quiet for the good of the sport and the Irish American community. I didn't at a great personal cost. As we were a New York club, we were honnored by Koch and Cardinal O'Connor among others. So, my comment to the annonimous detractors stands, who the hell are you and what the hell did you ever do for anyone else?
All the best,
Larry
