Subject: RE: Commitment and Success in NYC Folk
Let me see if I get your post Janice (and thanks for the complement to begin with...) I think the world revolves around me because I expect to find some musicians to brining you music about Yvette Michele, and should not use the board to promote said music ... which you compare to Tommy Sands. OK, how do you know about Tommy Sands, because commercial interests have sold you his work. I am brining it (free) to you ... through this folk board. Which sounds like folk to you? Two, who does the world revolve around? Well lets look say at Chere, some one asked for the racist words to the song she sings about G--- Tramps and Theieves... Chere who doesn't write her songs, whose every move is planned by others - who is promoted by a huge capitalist corporation ... that is what it is to have the world revolve around you, it is not pushing to get the story of people like Yvette who, at this moment is in a land being bombed for practice in order to make sure that when they bomb the REAL enemy (jeeze!) they will get it right. I am breaking my head against the wall so you and others, can, through folk music know that NATO is bombing Indian land, as I write this, as practice runs to bomb civilians in Afghanistan. I - for one, think that is something which at least two or three other musicians may commit. Give me a fucking break.
