...of Time and Rivers...  All era folk & psych-folk mix. Songs peak & interlude in & out in the famous tradition of live Grateful Dead shows. Talking about ebb & flow... just like a river flowing...  as the very sands of time... Pete Seeger captured the essence of the inevitible passing of time wonderfully on two songs; River of My People & Of Time and Rivers Passing - both included here, the latter sung by Richie Havens  in salute. See if you can spot any other river songs... Enjoy some SF Grateful Dead party vibes as we continue to commemorate & celebrate Bob, Phil, Jerry and all the other greats up there after Bob Weir's recent passing.  Stella Blue,  Stella Blue When all the cards are down There's nothing left to see There's just the pavement left And broken dreams In the end, there's still that song Comes crying like the wind Down every lonely street That's ever been ....  Stella Blue    ^^stream & do...

  When protest is now longer allowed, what then?   Selection of protest music 1950s-present. The current crackdown on certain modes of dissident action in the West, particularly environmental protest, signals a new era of totalitarianism & suppression of expression. A whole series of legislation, beginning in the 80s, have eroded & removed many of the rights that were formerly taken for granted while the cursed tranfer of power known as privatisation has leeched society and bled regular people dry. That heads of governments are seen to overtly collude with commercial titans & media moguls only reinforces the prevailing mood of helpess futility & inevitability, a feeling reinforced by economic neccessity and, crucially, the law. Criminal injustice at every level & on all fronts.   Listen to High Up There In Gilded Boardrooms by Old Timer in Isan on hearthis.at Traditions of musical resistance that have roots stretching back into antiquity...
