By : Roger Waters - Tuesday December 29, 2009 My name is Roger Waters. I am an English musician living in the USA.

By : Daniel Patrick Welch - Wednesday December 2, 2009 Thought folks might like this. The interval between Thanksgiving and Christmas (aka THE Holidays) gives us an opportunity to reflect on the founding mythology of what is now the US. I love this song—I still remember it from a concert about 20 years ago where I went to hear Floyd Westerman sing. Incredible song. I added the Thank You Song at the end in memory of my mom...we still sing the same song today at school before lunch...a ritual she started over 40 years ago. Missing her a lot (...)

By : Diaspora Saharaui - Wednesday August 12, 2009 By SETH SHERWOOD AS a warm Saturday night hung over the Mediterranean, the Algerian-French band Yazmen shuffled under the spotlights with its instruments — hand drum, flute, electric bass and a boxy, long-necked stringed instrument called a guembri — while a crowd filed into the hot confines of the windowless Tankono club. Couples arrived with children while bespectacled record-store geeks and a bald guy in a dashiki made toasts with Kronenbourg beers. Close to the stage, a (...)

By : Daveparts - Tuesday August 11, 2009 By David Glenn Cox It is funny how sometimes you start out to write one story and end up writing another. I have been doing research on Woodstock and as the old joke goes, “If you remember it, you weren’t there.” I remember it well enough and I wasn’t there, but as I watched the You Tube videos I began to remember details long forgotten, plus some things that I’ve learned since. I was watching a video of the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park in 1969, playing "Honky (...)

He was 50. Jackson’s brother says it’s believed that the pop star died of cardiac arrest. Jermaine Jackson cautioned at a hospital news conference Thursday that the cause of his death would not be known until an autopsy was (...)

By : Daveparts - Sunday March 1, 2009 By David Glenn Cox http://theservantsofpilate.com Today we have so many celebrities who take on social causes; it is almost a given that they will each have some charity or cause that they support. That is good, I suppose, but still there is a clear distinction between being socially conscious and being Woody Guthrie. Woody has been dead almost half a century, and his deeds and exploits have fallen from public memory. Woody wasn’t socially conscious, he was its conscience. In the (...)

By : ANNIE LENNOX - Thursday January 15, 2009 I’m for peace Sir, - After reading Yoram Dori’s "An open letter to Annie Lennox" (January 11) I felt despair and anguish at the manner in which the awful war in Gaza is being used to divide the rest of the world between "pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian‚" instead of "pro-peace‚ or pro-war." In my mind, the only distinction that matters right now, as Palestinian and Israeli lives are being lost and endangered by this violent conflict, is whether you support war or (...)
