Read a book!

Saturday - January 20th, 2007

I had on the show
V.Vale of ReSearch Publishing- http://www.researchpubs.com/
Jennifer Joseph of Manic D Press- http://www.manicdpress.com/

-- Wow, they rock - Vale the documentary/ historian of so much SF counter culture and Jennifer Joseph, who has encouraged so many writers and musicians too - I found out. We talked about so many topics: books and beyond - the history of the draft, the effect the internet has on book sales, parenting, pranks, punk rock, HealthCare...
--- I did get a bit sad and pissed off reading the story of Bush new proposed HealthCare changes (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070120/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_2&printer=1), when I thought about what effect they may have negatively on my clients - if they cut free

Vale talked alot about his "Pranks" book series and played some of a soundtrack he made for a political twisted - Wizzard of Oz themed animation that went to Sundance.

And Jennifer talked about Manic D's "History of the Military Draft Handbook", which gives tips or avoiding the draft, and played poetry CDs.

We encouraged people to volunteer for Project Open Hands (http://www.openhand.org/) and about HPV vacinations at Planned Parenthood as PSAs

Along with Vale's music and Manic D poets poems - we played:
"A Jazz Day" by AttaBoy & Burke
"Golden Age of Hustlers" - Bambi Lake
"Old School, New School"- Tribe 8
