Free music, now at www.BlowUpRadio.com or www.LazlosDen.com Bands, if you'd like to put up a free download on BlowUpRadio.com or LazlosDen.com, please contact me. ~~~ Pissed Off! I so want to discuss the closing of The Goldhawk, another great NJ venue for live music, & one that (along with Jim Testa), I used to do ‘Folk You!’ shows at. I want to talk about that, but I can’t. You see, I have been seriously following the events going down in Iran. It’s easy to forget about how lucky we are to have freedom and democracy in this country, and the ability to peaceably protest when we disagree with our government (as many did with the Iraq war). While the American news channels are finally starting to do some coverage of the events in Iran, BBC News has been doing the best news channel coverage I’ve seen. But truly compelling, and horrifying, is the first person accounts coming in through the internet, most notably through Twitter. The link below is a list of all know people Twittering in and around Iran about what is going on. http://www.simoncolumbus.com/2009/06/15/english-language-twitterers-in-iran I urge you to look through some of the tweets people are posting from Iran. If they don’t make you feel lucky to live in America, then you probably don’t deserve to live in America. ------------------------------ That's all for this week. Thanks for reading. Peace, Lazlo www.LazlosDen.com |
