MUMIA'S COLUMNS NEED TO BE PUBLISHED AS BROADLY
AS POSSIBLE TO INSPIRE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT AND
HELP CALL ATTENTION TO HIS CASE.
These Mumia pieces are truly insightful and they do give me a good view on American issues. Not being extremely up to date with affairs from across the Atlantic (I was blissfully unaware of these statements when they were first released), I find it hard to fully agree with Churchill just from hearing this audio. I also tend to find his comments about Nazis to be overly extreme and provocative. Then again, maybe there is more to this than I know about? What's everyone else's stance on his views?
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to thank you guys for what you're doing. I've found some great music here so far.
ReplyDeleteSorry to attach this to the Mumia post, but I love the sample/example posts. Do you happen to have the Dorothy Ashby track "By The Time I Get To Phoenix from Finding Forever? I noticed you guys posted most of the samples from that LP except for that one, which I was really hoping for.
Keep up the greatness.
^ Thank you, and yeah ep, it really opens your eyes. I love Mumia's "radio" commentaries and I thought this blog would be a great forum to spread it forth... ;-D
