PDX: our weekly Gaza vigil continues, even if it keeps on raining every time. I have a new waterproof banner for this Sunday, and another one on the way for next... Please come, and bring signs, puppets, songs, whatever you got!
There's a new book out featuring the collected writings of the IWW poet and pundit from the 1920's (mainly), a brilliant and very funny Finn named T-Bone Slim. My review of the book appears in the current issue of the Fifth Estate.

Try this, please: go to YouTube Music's website, search for my name, then click "Albums." You'll find a great album I made with hip-hop legend, Mic Crenshaw. I recommend you listen to it, before the last album of mine that is up on YouTube is removed, as the rest have been.

I seem to have vanished entirely from YouTube Music. My channel is still up and the videos I've uploaded are there, for the most part. But as a "Topic" I'm gone. You won't find any of my albums listed as albums. A temporary glitch or permanent deletion? No word from them...
