I hope he was having a beautiful and vivid dream.<br /></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><br />As you may or may not know, I have been his assistant for the past 12 years and I definitely count him as a friend. We introduced each other to our favorite music and Blue shared many great stories of his fascinating exploits. He was very lucky to have such a supportive community who he always treasured. In his final days we were working on putting the last touches on a box set that spans his whole career. It will be a great portrait of the music he created throughout his life.

I am glad to hear that<b> St John the Divine</b> has <b>back out of a relationship why the homophobic and racist Christian group with the name Samaritan, </b>The Rev Billy Graham' son, the heir to both his father's millions and his congregation, has refused to back down from his anti-gay and anti-Muslim public statements, While the rector of St John the Divine issued a statement saying he was aware that the evangelical group was homophobic and racist but hoped those could be set aside to save lives.<b> I believe Larry Kramer's call for action inspired the Rev Billy Talen, </b>well know and loved public preacher and performance artist to do a public protest in Central Park calling the Samaritan's racist. He climbed over the fence separating the recent installment of a temporary hospital in central Park run by the Samaritan and <b>attempted to plant a RAINBOW flag on the grounds near the tent structure</b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Rev. Billy was<b> roughly pushed </b>by a gaggle of cop<b>s </b>to the ground and arrested although he was not resisting. <b>His protest action and arrest were documented in a video, His shouting "I am not resisting. I am peaceful" contradicts the numerous charges the police .justified their treatment of Billy</b></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">Apparently, Samaritans called for charges against Rev Billy,.Thankfully the entire incident was filmed and went viral on social media, I believe Rev Billy's action caused a change of mind at the St John the Divine.</span><b style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="color: blue;"> As an ally of the LGBT community, Rev Billy's brave action hopefully made Larry Kramer happy.

<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div>
ESSENTIAL: It took me a second listening to<b> realize the truth of what Sanders is asking of us.</b> <b>He has asked us to continue to campaign for him in the primaries</b>.<b> He wants to bring the highest number of delegates to the Democratic Convention. </b>Yes, he has discontinued his campaign, But the more delegates Sanders has at the Convention, t<b>he more influence we can have on the Party Platform to defeat </b>Donald Trump,<b> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>This is critical,</b><br />
<br />
So Yes I am still going to vote for Bernie Sande<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">rs in the New York Primary, I hope you will do the same where ever there are Primaries yet to be held. Remember it is we come together,, we can make the change,</span></div>
</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline;">
<div style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<b>I don't want to ta;k about Biden ort he role the DNC played right now</b>, These are important issues,<br />
<br />
But now I want to tell all of you who have supported Bernie, <b>please do not give up, CHANGE WILL COME </b>.. We will continue to fight for change that will make a future possible for the next generation and fight to save the planet from the ravages of climate change,<br />
<br />
<b>We need to make the Democratic platform reflect what we believe in " Medicare for All, cancel Student debt, a sane, compassionate immigration policy, responsible gun control, voting rights for all Ameican, defense of a woman's right to choose, the separation of church and state, a fair tax policy which makes each citizen responsible for funding Democracy, end of the prison -industrial complex, (nonprofit making prisons), a justice driven foreign policy,</b> These are just a few of the issue we need to go to the Convention with delegates ready to fight for the Sanders agenda,</div>
<div style="color: #1c1e21; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />
We need to fight for the <b>most progressive VP candidate</b>,<br />
<br />
We <b>NEED TO GET RID OF TRUMP AND ALL HIS CRONIES</b>, Lets put aside the candidate until after the Convention.<br />
<br />
It is critical we don't give up.<br />
<br />
Please listen to Sanders statement a second or third time, THE COMPLETE STATEMENT, not the edited one media like the New York times distributes, After the Primary we can talk about what we all will do next,<br />
<br />
Be safe please,,, we still have a lot of work to do. This is the full speech Sanders gave.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: blue;">PLEASE LISTEN A SECOND TIME TO WHAT SANDERS HAS TO SAY ABOUT. WHT HE IS SESPENNDIN G HIS CAMPAIGN AND WHAT HE WANTS HIS SUPPORTERS TO DO!</span></b></div>

Full speech of why why she had to do this now<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<b>POLITICS</b>: The mainstream media just gives us sound bites,,,, Harris ran hard and deserves to be heard entirely in her explanation of why she is putting on hold her race. The answer is simple ..and complex. Here is the actual text of what she said. And in it, she says <b>she has not quit the fight to remove Donald Trum</b>p.<br />
<br />
My take:<b> The DNC has been making it extremely hard for candidates without personal wealth or a large funding base to continue to participate in the primary debates </b>Who suffers? It is just not the candidates who the DNC are actively excluded, but we the people. I personally think we the voters need to be challenged by bold ideas and new voices. I am disappointed that Julian Castro, Marrian Williamson, and now Senator Harris are no longer part of the debate. Who will be next?<br />
<br />
<b>Voters in the primary need to make an informed vote</b>. That I believe is best done by first listening to the actual words of the candidates themselves, and not just sound bite clips, talking heads pundits. That is what I like to do. I appreciate the FACT checking sites that vet what each one says.<br />
<br />
<b>I am a Sanders supporter</b> and remain so as of today. I worry about what the centrist led Democratic Party machine is doing by shutting out voices that reflect the diversity of what I believe is the real base of the Democratic Party.<br />

Eleven months ago at the launch of our campaign in Oakland, I told you all: “I am not perfect. But I will always speak with decency and moral clarity and treat all people with dignity and respect. I will lead with integrity. I will speak the truth.”</div>
<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="ae3b" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">
And that’s what I have tried to do every day of this campaign. So here’s the truth today.</div>
<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="2baa" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">
I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life.</div>
<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="788a" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">
My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue.</div>
<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="20fb" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">
<mark class="md me hm" style="background-color: rgba(12, 242, 143, 0.2); box-sizing: inherit; color: currentcolor; cursor: pointer;">I’m not a billionaire. I can’t fund my own campaign.

<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="e10b" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">
In good faith, I can’t tell you, my supporters and volunteers, that I have a path forward if I don’t believe I do.</div>
<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="6247" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">
<span class="fq gc" style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">So, to you my supporters, it is with deep regret — but also with deep gratitude — that I am suspending my campaign today.</span></div>
<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="5fa1" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">
But I want to be clear with you: I am still very much in this fight.</div>
<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="e1d4" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">
And I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about. Justice for The People. All the people.</div>
<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="55f2" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">

And our campaign uniquely spoke to the experiences of Black women and people of color — and their importance to the success and future of this party. Our campaign demanded no one should be taken for granted by any political party.</div>
<div class="fo fp ar bz fq b fr fs ft fu fv fw fx fy fz ga gb" data-selectable-paragraph="" id="42bb" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.84); font-family: medium-content-serif-font, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -0.004em; line-height: 1.58; margin-bottom: -0.46em; margin-top: 2em;">
We will keep up that fight because no one should be made to fight alone.</div>

And I believe our campaign showed every child in America — regardless of their color or gender — that there are no limits to who can lead and hold positions of power in our country.</div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /><b>The Internet Archive</b> is an absolute treasure with a gigantic task ahead of them. They have now set their sights on <b>vinyl LPs</b> and started the work of <a href="https://blog.archive.org/2019/10/23/how-the-internet-archive-is-digitizing-lps-to-preserve-generations-of-audio/">digitizing and archiving these recordings</a>.<br /><br />Earlier this year, the Internet Archive began working with the <b>Boston Public Library (BPL) to digitize more than 100,000 audio recordings from their sound collection. </b>The recordings exist in a variety of historical formats, including wax cylinders, 78 rpms, and LPs. They span musical genres including classical, pop, rock, and jazz, and contain obscure recordings like <a href="https://archive.org/details/lp_music-for-baton-twirlers_carl-stevens-and-his-military-band-bernste/disc1/01.01.+The+Thunderer.mp3">this album of music for baton twirlers</a> , and <a b="" gunsmoke.mp3="" hit="" href="https://archive.org/details/lp_all-time-great-bloopers-vol-5-6_kermit-schafer/disc1/02.02.+Side+2%3A+Whoopie+John%3B+Election+Results%3B+President+Ford%3B+Showers+Forecast%3B+Soap+Opera%3B+Pre-marital%3B+Robin+Hood%3B+Running+Man%3B+Duc+Fo-Vietnam%3B+Roger+WIlliams%3B+Assembly+Line%3B+Sam+Snead%3B+Flight+Bags%3B+Waly" parade="" s="">this record of radio’s all-time greatest bloopers</a> .<br /><br />Since all of the information on an LP is printed, the digitization process must begin by cataloging data. <b>High-resolution scans are taken of the cover art</b>, the disc itself and any inserts or accompanying materials. The record label, year recorded, tracklist and other metadata are supplemented and cross-checked against various external databases.<br /><br />The Archive is partnering with <b>Innodata Knowledge Service</b>s, who digitize the LPs in their facility in Cebu, Philippines. Setting up and turning over every album by hand and recording each side at normal speed. <span style="background-color: white;">Once
recorded, there is a large FLAC file for each side of the LP, which
needs to be segmented so listeners can easily begin at the desired
song. There are two different algorithms used for segmenting; the
first one looks at images of the vinyl disc to locate gaps in its
grooves, which usually line up with gaps between songs. A second
algorithm listens to the audio file to find the silent spaces between
songs. When these two algorithms align, our engineers have a good
measure of confidence that the machine has found the proper tracks.</span></span></div>

A statement from Jim Fouratt founding member of the original Gay Liberation Group<br />
<br />
I want to thank all the individuals who marched with the GAY LIBERATION FRONT the last 5 years in NYC in the annual Freedom and Liberation Marches (aka PRIDE). We have been intergenerational including some original members and others who agreed with our multi-issue politics: multi-issue, feminist, gender expression inclusive and respectful of our communities' diversity in race, gender age, and gender expression. I loved our <b>Samba band</b> that <b>Richard Dworkin</b> brought to march with us, Its members were inclusive of gay, lesbian, trans etc, and allies.<br />
<br />
You showed that <b>GLF</b> knew that <b>fun and culture,are essential in building a new world of genuine equality.</b> thank you.<br />
<br />
I also want to thank all <b>members of GLF chapters we helped to organize across America and around the world. in that first year</b>. You are alive in my memory. You carried the message forward of GLF politics for many years after the original founding chapter GLF/NYC group disbursed into communities around the country with the spirit of radical multi-issue, feminist based politics to change the world and make it safe for all oppressed people<br />
<br />
I am sad to report that we do not yet have a place in the World Pride March. A small group of the original GLF/NYC members from around the country, some of whom march with us once or twice went to <b>Heritage of Pride </b>without talking to us and declared themselves representative of <b>GLF.</b> They asked to be considered as<b> Grand Marshalls.</b><br />
<br />
<b>World Pride and HOP</b> has announced the the <b>original founding chapter of GLF/NYC </b>is one of the 5 Grand Marshalls. I have been invited as an individual and informed by the organizing group that participation is limited to only the original GLF/NYC members.<br />
<br />
They are comrades even if they were insensitive to us. They <b>consider considered GLF ended in 1972</b>, Yes NYC did disburse in 1972. Some of us have a different understanding of about GLF. It has remained alive in practice and principal for us and continued thriving around the world post 1972.<br />
<br />
For years after in chapters in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, Minneapolis, Boston, Philadelphia etc as well as Paris, London Berlin etc up until the 80's<b> GLF was alive and active</b>. More than 70 Chapters emerged in that first year, Many on College Campuses that we helped organize.<br />
<br />
I know that I and other GLFers have carried the principles of multi-issue politics and feminism into the work we did after 1972. For me I carried then into <b>Gay Activist Alliance </b>when it replaced GLF in NYC. I carried them with me when forning <b>WIPE OUT AIDS/HEAL</b> in 1981, I carried them into the <b>founding meeting of ACT UP in 1987; </b>The building of the <b>Lesbian and Gay Community Services Center in NYC</b> and when we <b>formed an LGBT caucus in Occupy Wall Street</b> etc<br />
<br />
GLF principles of multi-issues and feminism are what I brought into my political life since GLF was formed in 1069.<br />
<br />
I have began carrying a GLF banner in marches and demos over the last few years. I did this because I think our radical multi-issue politics that included other people's struggles is needed now more than ever,as we built unity to take our country back. We also ned to teach younger people of how this post-Stonewall movement was instigated.<br />
<br />
I have not given up on asking for a contingent open to all members of the GLF from anywhere that had an authentic chapter who may be here for WORLD PRIDE to join us if we are allowed to march as a group as we have in years past, And the Samba band will be invited to participate if we are granted space,<br />
<br />
But to be honest today, i am not too hopeful. Last week I called WORLD PRIDE office and spoke with their pr person. I asked her to direct me to the person responsible for editorial control of the online content being put up on the WORLD PRIDE website . I called to offer some factual corrections to a post they had just made. It was called HIDDEN FIGURES: THE WOMEN OF STONEWALL<br />
<br />
I was surprised to see that three of the people chosen were self-identified as transwomen, I received a number of messages from lesbians that objected to four of the "Women of Stonewall" as being not biological women.<br />
<br />
Personally, If they had been identified correctly as transwomen I would have had no objection, If the category was define as "The Transwomen of Stonewall. The word transgender began being used in the early '90s and the word transwoman not until the after 2009.<br />
<br />
But the word chosen was "women" and in my view cause a rift in a year when we should have been celebrating our victories. Gender expression and protection of those who are seen and feel themselves gender-wise as different is not new to gay and lesbian communities. Gender expression has always been what has identified us when we could not pass as straight. The closet did not protect us, The pain of oppression and bias because of out gender expression is not knew.<br />
<br />
LANGUAGE CHANGES, YES! BUT LANGUAGE RESPECT SHOULD ALWAYS be practice in recalling history rather than layering politically correct language of today that is constantlychanging and changing.<br />
<br />
<b>L</b>ets me talk about why I had called<b> about their FIVE WOWMEN OF STONEWALL .One of whom is a well know grifter</b> and acknowledged liar who <b>was not present at the Stonewall Rebellion, </b>In fact <b>only became visible in the early '70's</b> when working for Lee Brewster's drag emporium for men who wanted to dress as women on 14th Street (cross-dressers and/or transvestites in the language of the day) His name is <b>Williamson Henderson,</b> He organized a group called <b>Stonewall Veterans,</b> And has used his position as Executive Director to raise funds for his personal use and representative himself as the legitimate voice of participants in the four nights of the Stonewall Rebellion, <b>He is one of the four "Women of Stonewall", Henderson did have a drag persona Lady Allyson in the middle 70's </b>. He was active in the <b>Royal Court of NYC </b>until he was <b>thrown out</b> because after being elected treasurer, he <b>stole the group's treasury.</b><br />
<br />
They also<b> mis-identified Marsha P. Johnson as a woman</b>. Those of us, including myself, who knew Marsha well, know that Marsha identified as a gay man who liked to "dress up" as, what he thought, was a beautiful gay man. In fact Marsha, when he <b>was invited to ride in the Grand Marshall's car</b> the year the mob interests took back the organizing of the <b>Christopher Liberation March</b>.<b> Ed Murphy,</b> the gay mob money man at Stonewall in charge of paying off the cops and taking the profits back to the boys in the back room <b>was chosen as the Grand Marshall and designated the "King Of Christopher Street.</b>", Marsha was asked by Murphy to ride with him in the Grand Marshall's car. M<b>arsha did. In complete boy drag .. and the radian smile intact. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Sylvia Rivera was identified as a member of the Gay Activist Alliance. Sylvia was at the founding meeting of the Gay Liberation Front/NYC on the third night of the Stonewall Rebellion and remained active in GLF until it disburse, Yes we both joined GAA and neither one of us were welcomed by the leadership. Our names are in the official members list of GAA. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolution) </b>was a cell of GLF/NYC. When we established the first Lesbian and Gay Community Center on West 4th Street and 6th avenue, <b>Sylvia and Marsha</b> moved STAR in and its homeless members in. They remained there until it was closed.<br />
<br />
GAA thew Sylvia off the stage in the viral video of Sylvia reclaiming her space...not GLF/NYC or as has been repeatedly posted, me, Sylvia and I remained friends through out the ups and downs of political correctness,<br />
<br />
GLF's history has either been erased or so distorted by authors like David Carter and Eric Marcus among others. I feel each of us in entitled to tell the stories of the times we lived though as we ...all of us..seeded regardless of gender expression, race, gender or age Lesbian and Gay liberation<br />
<br />
Whew.. lot of history to cover,<br />
<br />
Let me finish what happened with my call to World Pride and Ms. Renna. When I told Ms, Renna why Iwas clling she asked me if i thougth transwomen were women, I asswered I thougth transwomen were transwomen, I also asked her if she knew the history of how transwomen and transman came in use. She than told me I was transphobic, that, "... I could look at the World Pride website if I needed contact information." She told shewas ending the call and ensured me she would "...make sure everyone who worked at World Pride and HOP knew I had called with my transphobic questions."<br />
<br />
Renna than hung up on me.<br />
<br />
There is an alternative March planned by some former members of ACT UP... 25 years ago ACT UP had an alternative March centered on AIDS, For over 16 months a small group of NYC activist have been meeting and decided to ignore the WORLD PRIDE event hosted by Heritage of Pride because HOP had nto real community based roots and had captiulated to the NYC Poilice department controll oof the March and its shortening the actual length of the March to 1/3 of what it has historically been, The Police are requiring all marchers to wear writs band identifiers, Ever singe Christine Quinn agreed to the<br />

I think Chelsea Manning is a hero. and her actest action of refusing to speak to what it appears to me is a fishing tactic and going to jail a result is a principal action. But I listened to what he said and thought I don't agree with him I felt his response was not a deal breaker for me. I remember well when I confronted Cornell West when Obama was running. West has always included LGBT people in his public political appearances, It was at a sold-out NY TIMES public conversation. At the time West was one of Obama's advisors and traveled with him. Obama still was saying he did not believe in same-sex marriage and had difficulty addressing LGBT issues. I, from the floor, during the Q&A period asked::" Brother West, you have been supportive of lesbian and gay people in all their diversity and gender expression and their struggle for equal treatment whenever you speak. Please explain how you are now supporting a candidate that is "troubled" by the demands of my collective community? His answer has stayed with me. "Brother Jim, I bring it up every day and will continue to do so until he learns what is fair and just," I feel the same way about Mayor Pete. He is one of 3 candidates that at this stage appeal to me. I will do the same publicly. I am committed to supporting a candidate who can defeat Trump. period.

You ask why I still go to SXSW,,, well this is one reason. This air was thick with excitement, The line waiting to get into the session went down two floors out on to the street and went around the building. SXSW was smart to have the interviewer be from the Intercept...listen up ... but live a music concert ot a play or a soccer game BEING THERE is best.</div>

WARNING: This captured livestream of SXSW"S Kathy Griffin keynote is uncensored speech. Adult language, use your own judgment if it is appropriate for you to watch. Griffin is a feminist comedian in the style of Lenny Bruce and Moms Mably, I found it shocking politically and absolutely hilarious as she describes how she was tread by the FBI etc ,,,,<br />
<br />
The 2nd reason I still go to SXSW,,, finally we get the real story,,,its shocking,, and the music has not really started,,, Wed, music will be everywhere. dancing the tango with the film festival<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: soleil, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Altin Gün show what happens when you open doors between Turkish folk songs on the one hand and a dirty blend of funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars, and analogue organs on the other. The Amsterdammers who come from various backgrounds (Turkish but also Indonesian and Dutch) and comfortably create their work in the adventurous no-man’s land that exists between these two worlds.</span><br /><br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: soleil, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em;"> up of Turkish, Dutch and Indonesian members, Altin Gün produce a sound that opens the doors between Turkish folk songs, funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars, and analogue organs. This fresh and beautiful sound comes from the inspiration of Neşet Ertaş, a Turkish folk musician whose musical legacy is invaluable. Altin Gün retain the themes and lyrical structure of Ertaş’s songs, mixing it up with alternate time signatures and adding fuzzy bass and sweltering organ sounds.</div><div class="well" style="background-color: #e6e6e6; border: 1px solid rgb(240, 240, 240); box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: soleil, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 2em 0px; padding: 1em;"><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-weight: 600;">Biographies</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-weight: 600;">Lekfa</span> <span style="font-weight: 600;">Maryam Saleh</span>. A major creative force and a powerful voice for her generation, Egyptian singer and songwriter Maryam Saleh composes and performs music that is personal, political and contemplative. She released her monumental debut album Mesh Baghanny (eka3, 2012), after which she joined forces with Lebanese electro-pop pioneer Zeid Hamdan to release Halawella (Mostakell 2015). Known for her muscular, alluring vocals and charismatic stage presence, stemming from being brought up in the world of theatre by her late father, theatre critic, director and writer Saad Saleh. Maryam is also known for bringing the protest songs of Sheikh Imam back to life in new alternative forms through her band BarakA. She starred in many Egyptian films and TV series including Ibrahim El-Batout’s Eye of the Sun (2008) and Tamer El Said’s In the Last Days of the City (2016).</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-weight: 600;">Maurice Louca.</span> Inspired by many influences, from psychedelic to Egyptian shaabi, Maurice Louca’s second album Benhayyi Al-Baghbaghan (Nawa Recordings, 2014) shattered the confines of musical and cultural labelling and was dubbed by many as a game-changer for the region’s bustling independent music scene.

In 2012 he co-founded the critically acclaimed alternative band Alif with Maurice Louca and Khyam Allami; produced Maryam Saleh’s debut album Mesh Baghanny in 2012; collaborated with Yacoub Abu Ghosh on his album As Blue as the Rivers of Amman in 2011; started the cross-genre group Kazamada in 2010 with Zeid Hamdan, Mahmoud Radaideh and Donia Massoud; released Thawret Ala’ (Revolution of Anxiety), a collaborative piece of musical theatre performed by Al-Tamye Theatre Group in 2008; worked with Palestinian and Egyptian artists on Jehar with Huda Asfour; collaborated in Duo Buzuq with Rabea Jubran and in Kalam Mazzika with Salam Yousry and performed on Khaled Jubran’s Psalms in 2005.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"><span style="font-weight: 600;">Altin Gün</span> On their debut album ‘On’ (Bongo Joe Records), the band show what happens when you open doors between Turkish folk songs which were passed on from generation to generation on the one hand and a dirty blend of funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars and analog organs on the other. The Amsterdammers come from various backgrounds (Turkish but also Indonesian and Dutch) and comfortably create their work in the adventurous no-man’s land that exists between these two worlds.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Older generations of Turkish musicians have also experimented with opening doors between previously unconnected sonic worlds. During the seventies, artists such as Baris Manço, Selda Bağcan and Erkin Koray practiced a way of songwriting and composing similar to Altin Gün’s.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Manço, Bağcan and Koray have all influenced Altin Gün, but their foremost inspiration is Neşet Ertaş, a Turkish folk musician whose musical legacy is invaluable. Comparisons are almost impossible to make but imagine someone with the same impact and status as Bob Dylan or George Gerschwin and you’re getting close. Many of the songs he wrote have become standards in Turkey, national treasures which are cherished up until the present day. Altin Gün retain the lyrical and thematic structure of Ertaş’s songs, though they often alter their time signatures and add fuzzy bass sounds, sweltering organ sounds and raw saz riffs. Ertaş wrote the majority of the songs on the album even if these are hardly recognisable after all the work Altin Gün have done on them.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Let Altin Gün open that door for you and get ready to indulge in their fresh and beautiful sound.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 1em;">Altin Gün are: Ben Rider (guitar) Daniel Smienk (drums)Jasper Verhulst (bass) Merve Dasdemir (vocals) Erdinc Yildiz Ecevit (saz, keys, vocals) Gino Groenveld (percussion</div></div><br /><br />

Ilhan Omar is again at the center of controversy, this time for remarks she made last week at a panel discussion at Busboys and Poets, a Washington, D.C. bookstore and restaurant. Omar’s “offending” comment was a reference to “the political influence in this country that says that it’s ok for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.” She was immediately accused of feeding centuries-old anti-Semitic tropes about the nefarious influence of a Jewish cabal. A chorus of denunciations have ensued, a number of prominent House Democrats, most of them Jewish, have taken particular offense, and apparently the House Democratic leadership has decided to pass a four-page Resolution denouncing anti-Semitism and especially references to “dual loyalty,” implicitly rebuking Omar (the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Washington Post </em>headline declares that “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/rep-omars-comments-prompt-house-democrats-to-craft-anti-semitism-measure/2019/03/04/1a4d8c12-3ea8-11e9-922c-64d6b7840b82_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.fa6e262e8d7c" rel="noopener" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e74c3c; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">Rep. Omar’s comments force Democrats to act on anti-Semitism measure</a>.” Indeed, House leadership was forced to do nothing; they are <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">choosing </em>to do this). Meanwhile, Republicans call for more drastic action against her, shedding crocodile tears about bigotry, seeking to inoculate their party by absurdly comparing Omar to the viciously racist Steve King, and gleefully sowing division among Democrats.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
The political denunciations of Omar are defensive, self-righteous, and cynical. They represent political grandstanding and not a serious response to either her comments or to the real harms caused by anti-Semitism in the U.S., which are not being caused by Omar or her supporters.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
The viral video clip in which Omar made the offending comment is nine minutes long. But people have been jumping on twenty of the words she uttered, in approximately ten seconds, taking them out of context, and treating those words as an attack on Jews when they are not an attack, and indeed do not mention Jews.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
It is true that Omar lacks the sensitivity to Jewish people that comes from a certain experience that she does not have. There are many different ways that people from different parts of the world experience the world. (Is it really necessary for this to even be said in the year 2019?) Omar is a Somali-American who was born in Mogadishu and grew up in Baydhabo, not New York or Los Angeles. And she is a Muslim whose personal experiences as a refugee make her especially sensitive to the plight of marginal Third World peoples, including Palestinians. Her words about the politics of U.S. foreign policy, and about Israeli-Palestinian relations, are sometimes infelicitous. But hers is a perspective shared by many young people. And it is motivated by a passion for equality, and only by lifting her words out of context can they be seen as hateful.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
I encourage everyone to watch the nine-minute video in its entirety. Far from a fire-breathing or hateful speech, Omar can be seen very carefully trying to parse her words in order to express her frustration, to defend herself, and to clarify her position on the rights of Palestinians. And while she does not fully succeed, she also tries to be careful to attend to the sensibilities of Jewish people, who she describes both as “constituents” and as “colleagues.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Here is the video:</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
The “offending” words occur at 4:08. But to establish the context, I have transcribed the first five minutes of the video. Here are Omar’s words, verbatim:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: #fafafa; border-left: 2px solid rgb(221, 221, 221); box-sizing: border-box; color: #3f3f38; font-size: 1em; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1 !important; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: 2em; padding: 0.2em 1.2em;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(63, 63, 63) !important; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
“I get emotional . . . Because I know that I have a huge Jewish constituency and, you know, every time I meet with them, they share stories of safety and sanctuary that they would love for the people of Israel and, most of the time when we’re having the conversation, you know, there is no actual relative that they speak of, and there is still lots of emotions (sic) that comes through because its family, right? My children still speak of Somalia with passion and compassion even though they don’t have a family member there. But we never really allow space for the stories of Palestinians seeking safety and sanctuary to be uplifted. And to me it is the dehumanization and the silencing of a particular pain and suffering of a people that should not be ok and normal. And you can’t be in the practice of humanizing and uplifting the suffering of one if you’re not willing to do that for everybody. And so for me I know that when I hear, right, my Jewish constituents, or friends or colleagues, speak about Palestinians who don’t want safety or who aren’t deserving, I stay focused on what the actual debate about what that process should look like. I never go in the dark place of saying ‘here’s a Jewish person, they’re talking about Palestinians, Palestinians are Muslim, maybe they’re Islamophobic.’ I’ll never allow myself to go there, because I don’t have to. And what I am fearful of, is that because Rashida (Tlaib) and I are Muslim, that a lot of our Jewish colleagues, a lot of our constituents, a lot of our allies, go to thinking that everything we say about Israel, to be anti-Semitic because we are Muslim. And so, to me, it’s something that becomes designed to end the debate, because you get in this space of, ‘yes, like, I know what intolerance looks like, and I’m sensitive when someone says the words you use are resemblance of intolerance.’ And I am cautious of that, and I feel pained by that. But it’s almost as if every single time we say something, regardless of what it is we say, that is supposed to be about foreign policy or engagement or advocacy about ending oppression, or the freeing of every human life, and wanting dignity, we get to be labeled as something, and that ends the discussion. Because we end up defending that, and nobody ever gets to the have the proper debate of what is happening with Palestine. [Pause, applause.] So I want to talk about the political influence in this country that says that it’s ok for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country, I want to ask, why is it ok for me to talk about the influence of the NRA or fossil fuel industries or Big Pharma, and not talk about a powerful lobbying group that is influencing policy. I want to ask the question of why is it ok for you to push, for you to be, there’s so many people, I mean, most of us are new, but many members of Congress have been there forever, some of them have been there before we were born, so I know many of them were fighting for people to be free, for people to live in dignity in South Africa, I know many of them fight for people around the world, to have dignity, to have self-determination, so I know that they care about these things. But now that you have two Muslims that are saying ‘there’s a group of people that we want to make sure have the same dignity that you want everybody else to have’ we get to be called names and we get to be labeled as hateful. No, we know what <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">that</em> looks like. We experience it every single day. I receive death threats. . . . There are gas stations that have written on their bathrooms ‘assassinate Ilhan Omar. . . .’”</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
There is nuance in these words, and qualification, and frustration at being misunderstood, and a passion for justice but also a sense of vulnerability and a desire to have better understandings with colleagues and constituents, especially Jewish colleagues and constituents. But there is no hate.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Omar does not center her discourse on “anti-Semitic tropes.” And the broader context of her “offending” remark was a legitimate question: why are Muslim-Americans like her and Rashida Tlaib under an automatic cloud of suspicion — as they are for many — because they care about Palestinian rights, while it goes without question that Americans can simply love Israel if they choose? Why are many Americans — yes, unfortunately, including many Jews, though surely <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">not </em>all and perhaps not even <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">most </em>— more comfortable treating Bibi Netanyahu as a “partner” than treating American citizens and public officials like Omar and Tlaib as partners? These are real questions, and Omar posed them in the course of defending herself, and also noting the threats to which she is regularly subjected as a Muslim member of Congress (threats which are apparently being <a href="https://www.twincities.com/2019/03/04/fbi-graffiti-death-threat-ilhan-omar/" rel="noopener" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #e74c3c; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">investigated</a> by the FBI). That is the context of her words about “foreign allegiance.” The context doesn’t remove the sting that some Jewish people might legitimately feel. But that does not make Omar an anti-Semite.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Indeed, the proposed House Resolution seems almost like a validation of Omar’s question.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Did the House pass such a full-throated Resolution about anti-Semitism after Charlottesville, or after the recent Pittsburgh synagogue massacre? No. But now that one young Muslim-American Congresswoman has uttered ten words about “allegiance to a foreign country” in a nine-minute speech about human rights, it becomes necessary for Congress to make a big statement of denunciation?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Necessary</em>? Such a claim begs credulity.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
And so House members will rally around some flag, and join together to rebuke Ilhan Omar.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 1.3em; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Meanwhile Israel and Palestine descend deeper into despair, and Trump and Jared and Bibi smile. And the world burns.</div>
