Documentary on Bob Marley

part 1

A Documentary

Here's a neat documentary (baa hahahaha)

Bob Marley is one of my Heroes

Part 1 of a documentary on the album Catch a Fire. I and I come hear the words of Bob, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and the rest of the original Wailers, Rita Marley, and other great Rasta teachers. Some great interviews, speechifyin, and testifyin.
Another really good documentary is called "Life and Debt". It is all about Jamaica's economic situation, which is the same that has befallen an obscene number of other countries.

Hunter S. Thompson

This youtube video is part of a full-length biography of Hunter S. Thompson, a favourite of mine among writers. He was way ahead of his time on environmental issues. He was fighting to keep Aspen a quaint little town full of intellectuals and free of conglomerates and time share ski resorts and stripmalls and capitalist development before anyone else could've conceived what was in store for Aspen. At the beginning of this video, they are talking about the riots and police brutality in Chicago during the Democratic Convention in '68. It was this destruction and political upheaval in the sixties and seventies that inspired him to first try to write about the Death of the American Dream. One can now really see what he was talking about when it comes to the Death of the American Dream. Although who knows what he'd think about Barack Obama. If you check out the beginning of the documentary, you'll hear what Hunter wrote on September 11, and his predictions are eerily accurate.
I was disappointed when I heard that Obama wouldn't be holding anyone accountable for torturing, and that they would continue trials of people in Guantanamo.
However what's as alarming and seemingly under-noticed around us right now of some fucked up political times in Canada. God knows what will happen. I for one am not sure about Micheal Ignatieff. I believe he's better than Stephen goddamn Harper. I was always an NDP guy.

John Lennon is one of my Heroes

I went to the Museum of Fine Arts yesterday to see the John Lennon and Yoko Ono exhibit. It was incredible.
I took a picture on my cellphone of a letter John Lennon wrote to the world, but unfortunately I can't figure out how to get it onto my computer. Here's what it said, though:

"Dear World.

I think we should have peace. Why don't we have it? I would like it today - so would my wife.
John Lennon, and many others

P.S. you should have seen his face."

Happy World Fair Trade Day

Police Brutality - so who do you trust?

Man, I had noticed that the cops were everywhere. They've definitely increased in presence, and force. But then recently a friend of mine encountered serious police brutality. They actually beat him with their batons and then made up a charge to cover their asses that they charged him with. An actual, real injustice. WHAT THE FUCK?
