Further thoughts on the cultural labor of poetry and art. Not merely "is it good?," but "what has it accomplished?"...reviews of recent poetry collections; selected poems and art dealing with war/peace/social change; reviews of poetry readings; links to political commentary (particularly on conflicts in the Middle East); youtubed performances of music, demos, and other audio-video nuggets dealing with peaceful change, dissent and resistance.

X's "See How We Are"
I was too young to love X before they were gone, but youtube has been a worthy recreator of nostalgia. I miss John Doe and Exene Cervenka, and I never even knew them. I wanted to post "Fourth of July", but I can't find any functional video online to celebrate the holiday.
I love X! John Doe is one of my favorite rock songwriters. I'm a great fan of his solo recordings as well - though I've been sorely disappointed in Exene's. This amuses me because back in the early eighties when I first got into X I was more a great fan of Exene but not so much John. No more....
