Poetry
"The words of a poet can strip the truth
bare...like a bird plucked of its' feathers

Or, they can embellish, creating a romantic

She has also recorded the swing-era classic, “Stompin’ at the Savoy” with Grammy Award-winning artists Herbie Hancock and Will.i.am for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s audio book, On the Shoulders of Giants.

The song was included in French and English on the Canadian release of the soundtrack as well as in the bonus features of the DVD which was released worldwide.

1929 Immigrant Song -
This you gotta see. This is an actual recording (with photos) of the 1929 song for immigrants who have come to the United States. It should be re-recorded and released today. It applies to both the U.S. and Australia. It must have taken a lot of digging to pull this one out!! Really reaches back into the past. Happened back then but sure isn't happening now. This is a video and song about immigration that was very popular around the late 1920's, and early - 30's. Maybe this should be our Immigration National Anthem....but that wouldn't be politically correct today, would it? Well, maybe it should be played more often and loud. If It was good enough then - - - would it be good enough now! ? FAT CHANCE! |

In language is identity, and in speech the tool to tell one's history, to name and define the world in order to make it one's own; his characters' struggle against the alienation of immersion into the language of a world which denies them their own is a common element of Wilson's plays. August Wilson looks to the rhythms and patterns of the music and sound of the blues to provide a link for disparate words and world views. In this portrait of the playwright, August Wilson shows how the rhythms and patterns from the 'sacred book of blues' are transformed into words and movement in his plays. Produced by Stephen Smith of Minnesota Public Radio. Listen to August Wilson's Sacred Book with Real Player..the rest of the story at the link |

The world gets crazier and crazier everyday, doesn't it? The world that many
of us thought was there, isn't. The bottom has dropped out of everything. The
illusions have been revealed, we have found out who has been pulling the strings
behind the scenes. Millions have lost their jobs, have mortgage
problems, credit card issues, credit repair problems and
foreclosure. What can be
done? Amazingly, we have been mislead. We have been taught that we can control
government by voting. The founder of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel
Bauer, told the secret of controlling the government of a nation over 200 years
ago. He said, "Permit
me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its
laws." Get
the picture? Your freedom hinges first on the nation's banks and money system.
It's all about 'commerce'. Freedom is connected with Debt Elimination for
each individual. Not only does this end
personal debt, it places the people first in line
as creditors to the National Debt ahead of the banks. They don't wish for
you to know this. It has to do with recognizing WHO you really are in A
New Beginning: A Practical Course in Miracles, an informational study. Is
your credit rating bad for reasons that seem out of your control? There are
ways of credit repair,
so you can men those broken fences too. Do you want to keep your children protected
from outside forces, there are ways of protecting
your children. Do you want
to keep your sons and daughters free from 'the draft'? Check this out.
