It's better than it used to be, but a long way from how it should be, and so patchy.

The important thing is to recognise it as a matter of civil rights and be ready to get bloody bolshie - and that applies more especially to those of us who aren't directly affected.

Here's a link to a page about a great disability civil rights singer and songwriter called Johnny Crescendo (AKA Alan Holdsworth) who emigrated from England a few years ago, and now lives in Philadelphia. I only just found that out from this page - I'd wondered where he'd vanished to. I remember a great series of sets he did at Cambridge a few years back, and a memorable party afterwards.
