A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Always dug this. But sooooo Pink Floyd - like a 90’s update or something. Which I don’t mind, at all.
Piano intro is similar to Great Gig In The Sky (my partner is hearing Isn’t It A Pity by George Harrison); while the groove part is reminiscent of parts of Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

Great, enchanting set! Whole family enjoying. Perfect for a slow-going morning, after spending the entire day out in the sun yesterday at Fort Totten park and pool.

Would love to hear more about that incredible experience.
It’s no wonder that black radicals have always felt that some of their best minds are purposefully kept behind bars. See George Jackson for just one, but an incandescent, example.
The fairly recent Attica film attested to what you witnessed, though I’d prefer to have seen more prisoner interviews and conversations.
Still need to read Heather Ann Thompson’s book. Saw her interviewed, along with a couple of former prisoners, and it was riveting.

@Zinn The Mood it was in the mid 80s in a college program established after the riots. I was a very skinny 27-year-old. I worked as tutorial company coordinator, office supervisor evenings and Saturdays. I was there about 40 hours a week up in a day room in C Block. The students were fabulous for the most part. The organization was The Consortium of the Niagara Frontier.

Looks like the ban was lifted, according to the not always correct wikipedia:
Blood in the Water has been subject to bans in at least eight U.S. state prison systems, in Arizona,[3] Illinois,[4][5] New Hampshire,[6] New York,[7] North Carolina,[8] Ohio,[9] Texas,[10] and Virginia.[8] The author filed lawsuits against the state prison systems of Illinois and New York on account of the bans.[4][11][7] Thompson was represented in the New York case by Cardozo School of Law's Civil Rights Clinic and the New York Civil Liberties Union. The New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision lifted its ban in the face of legal pressure in August 2022.[12]

That’s noble and powerful, Zipperhead.
The more one ruminates on crime and punishment, prisons, and the preference for punitive rather than rehabilitative measures just sickens to no end. Relatively recent European/American history (of the past handful of centuries perhaps) reveals people to be too easily convinced that burglars, murderers, witches, etc must sadistically dealt with. No rational reasoning with contributing aspects of mental health issues, family trauma, financial precarity, the human right to basic access to food, shelter and clothing, etc.

In “The Dawn of Everything” Graeber introduces us to Kandiaronk, an Indigenous leader who debates French missionaries of the 17th century, who lays it out squarely in observance of the differences of the way each of their societies have been organized:

“I have spent six years reflecting on the state of European society and I still can’t think of a single way they act that’s not inhuman, and I genuinely think this can only be the case, as long as you stick to your distinctions of ‘mine’ and ‘thine’. I affirm that what you call money is the devil of devils; the tyrant of the French, the source of all evils; the bane of souls and slaughterhouse of the living.”

“For my own part, I find it hard to see how you could be much more miserable than you already are. What kind of human, what species of creature, must Europeans be, that they have to be forced to do good, and only refrain from evil because of fear of punishment?

You have observed that we lack judges. What is the reason for that? Well, we never bring lawsuits against one another. And why do we never bring lawsuits? Well, because we made a decision neither to accept or make use of money. And why do we refuse to allow money into our communities? The reason is this: we are determined not to have laws - because, since the world was a world, our ancestors have been able to live contentedly without them.”

Upon further consideration of the film (seen a few years ago) it had plenty of great interviews.
Specifically I meant that it would have been even more effective to have seen more actual footage from the cameras documenting the situation as it was happening.

Riding around with the kids, hitting different city parks. Tod them that some of the joy of being a kid in the summer is the surprise of not knowing who’s around and the hopeful anticipation of coming upon friends. Alas, so far no luck.
But we did just have a little fun, at least I did…
At a four way corner one of those blue Porsche SUV-looking things that are spoiling our neighborhood comes to a stop. Driver has posh blue shades and looks comically like a Koch brother.
I push it, as usual (my kids are very accustomed to this tactic) by heading out to cross the street in front of him (cars almost always refrain from proceeding at the sight of kids going into the street). He makes the turn anyway. So I lean toward his window and say, “F- your car.” The refuge of a scoundrel of course is to attempt to berate a parent for improperly exposing kids to such commentary.
So the guy comes around the block and confronts me from his 80k mobile. I launch into a tirade about the illicit money he must have made to afford such a car. And that one most probably is involved with some kind of illegal activity, criminal doings, etc. “what kind of stealing do you do have to get such a ride?”
Smiles abound in the faces of a young Hispanic couple sitting on their stoop.
Sorry, folks. But these are the kinds of discussions/observations I want to hear more in public.
And damnit, if no one’s willing to oblige then I’m willing start the ball rolling.
Stop. Worshipping. The. Rich.
Rather, start implicating them.
I’d venture to submit that it’s the root cause of so much that contributes to this mess of society.

That book sounds fantastic! I read the Jackson Pollock bio by Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith and loved it, not because I’m a particular fan of Pollock’s work but because it was an incredible time capsule that moved through many different places and movements. There was a lot of time spent describing his early years in California, his time with Thomas Hart Benton, Works Progress-era NYC… all written in a way that really placed you there. I’m eager to get my hands on the story from Lee & crew’s point of view!

As a life long New Yorker I LOVE this. Sadly, there is this newer even more intense worship of the ultra wealthy (wonder if worse than 80’s) & well, NYC is particularly prone to wealthy “new to New York-ers” and now with less neighborhoods of varying income levels …yeah, it’s a problem.

It *is* daunting. After months of reading it on and off I’m only about 250 pages in.
But it’s eminently readable and an inviting read. Just there’s so much incredible geographic, archeological, sociological, philosophical ground covered I found I could only read it in small spates.
I will finish it though.

Wait Zinn you cursed out the man in front of your kids. I’m calling child welfare. And as another listener mentioned you’re sure making a lot of assumptions about the other driver

Above meant for Zipperhead about Dawn of Everything.
But scattered here with hungry kids, and a bowl with tuna fish ready for some mayo, cilantro, capers and fennel seeds.
Gotta run for now…

I’ll check out that pollack bio. Always fun to hear different well-written versions of the a story from different angles . Like Hemingway and Fitzgerald.

It’s good that Zinn “as usual” saw a nice car and then led his or her kids in front of that car on a street and swore at the driver without knowing him. We need more of that.

I agree that assumptions were made re: Porsche person. Many ppl have expensive things that
1. Cannot afford them
2. Saved years to have them
3. There are ways to make money that are not linked to hurting people.
BUT I think cursing someone who doesn’t yield to pedestrians while safe in a car deserves a yelling.

Feel so lucky to have met one of my childhood heroes; saw Suzanne at The Lab in SF recently and stopped to say hi after the show and told her how she had an impact on me since her segment on the children's show “3-2-1 Contact” back in the 80s

BenZ WPB:

Curse at someone in the street with their kids in tow? Since we’re apt to make assumptions about the car driver what other assumptions can we make about Zinn in Zinn’s handling of his her children? Call child services for an investigation

I’ve always subscribed to this truism:

"Behind every great fortune there is a crime." ― Honoré de Balzac

More folks need to ruminate on the veracity of that. And then find the courage to confront these, as St George Carlin called them, c-suckers.

One more for the road, and the defenders of the rich:
“Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are." ― Augustine of Hippo
