"Don't Be A Sucker!
In the aftermath of World War II, the War Department of the United States
produced a film, "Don't Be A Sucker", warning about fascism - how it starts and
how it can be prevented by citizens speaking together and preserving human
rights. The current New York City mosque issue is one of those times we can look
to our past to help preserve our future. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech,
no ifs, ands or buts.
Keith
Olbermann's eloquent special comment in August follows the film and brings this
issue to the current moment.
I usually say that you don't want to miss a show like this. This time I am
saying this message is too important to miss.
Peace and solidarity ~ joel

B L A C K W A T E R !
They are called Security Contractors. The dictionary says they are Mercenaries. They are hired to engage the enemy and protect lives while shooting first and asking questions later. They have ignored American generals and report directly to the State Department. They are not accountable to rules of law as are American soldiers and they are paid six times as well. The have been investigated and charged with murder, yet Blackwater USA (now called Xe Services LLC) continues to get billion dollar contracts from the United States government with a license to kill.
Who are these guys? Who is their leader, Erik Prince? And why does the State Department have and need a personal army anyway? Jeremy Scahill has written extensively about Blackwater and has testified before Congress about them and the implications of private armies accountable to nobody. His reporting is featured in this episode. Timely and revealing information on tonight's Songs of Freedom.

Up Close and Personal
In the movie "Yellow Submarine", there is a town square where music is made all day by happy musicians, and jolly people of all ages get to enjoy it all. In Kew Gardens, Queens, NY, there is such a place in a little park next to the post office. A few times every year, musicians from the community play all afternoon as local folks enjoy by themselves or with their family. It's all very nice. I recorded the recent Kew Gardens Music Festival to share with you tonight.
Also on tonight's show, what if the BP Gulf oil disaster happened in the board room where BP executives were talking and having lunch? It's business as usual and more than a few napkins.
All of this up close and personal

A View from McDougal Street, show #2
The MacDougal Street Rent Party was a group of folk singing troubadours that became known in the first part of this decade singing at demonstrations, rallies, festivals and coffeehouses. With the passing of their folk doctor, Eric Levine, a couple of years ago, Joel Landy, Steve Suffet, and Anne Price disbanded the group and continued with other projects and their solo careers.
Tonight's
show was recorded just after Election Day in 2006. Some things happened during
that process that called for conversation and song - as well as those things
that didn't happen either. Both get the singer/songwriter treatment and a dose
of political opinion. Tune in, then contact this show (joellandy@yahoo.com)
to add your two cents.

Healthy Cigarettes: The Clean Coal Story
We are being sold a bill
of climate warming goods. Clean Coal is the latest attempt by
the carbon energy lobby to save itself from extinction, proven
science, and the will of a planet requiring change now. Coal is
a dirty and destructive fuel. Clean Coal does not exist. So why
are we being told it does? Songs of Freedom looks inside
the packaging to tell the story. Interviews include Al Gore and
Robert Kennedy Jr., and the work of many concerned journalists.

These Days
Once upon a time Greenwich Village was the place to go to see artists lay their truth on the line and "make the scene" with your comrades and new friends. That spirit still lives today in politically active coffeehouses around the country and NYC. Tonight's show brings you to the heart of Bleecker Street where you catch the vibe with poet Vincent Quadroche, veteran activist songwriter Bev Grant and her Dissident Daughters, and numerous other mixed messages.
Recorded live at The Yippie Café in New York City
Tune in and dig the scene.
