So I walk into the studio tonight and guess whose there plugging his music on the program before mine: it's Shadow, a.k.a. Black Swan, Boston's own spiritual rapper, a grinder who sells CDs independently on the T. It's the day after Barack Obama declared victory in the Democratic primary, which is very historic considering he is the first African-American to do so. I get Shadow's point-of-view on the signifigance of this. I ask him what he thinks of Obama: agent of positive change or puppet?
Still having some problems: some mics not amplified right, playing music way louder than talking, still broadcasting dead air. I need to be more prepared to fight with words for social justice. "Um" is an enemy of social justice -- at least for me. Up with the quality of ne(U)waves broadcast; down with the New World Order.
It's the anniversary of the Tianamen Square Massacre! Wake up.
