(JAI: A revolution arising must have as its adjunct a revolutionary culture. Where is our working class art and music today? (See below the just below:)
We certainly had it in the '30's paens by and about Joe Hill <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgFv5Z81PdI>. In the '60's, voices such as a young Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind" <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMFj8uDubsE>, etc. But in the spirit of Gil Scott Herron <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Scott-Heron>'s "The Revolution Will Not Be televised" <https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=XUi580gA5BQ>, today it might be rapped: "What Gil meant in the song, and it's obvious from hearing the lyrics, is that *you have to be active, you can't be a passive participant in the revolution*. When the revolution happens, you're going to have to be in the streets. If you want to make change in society, you have to get off your ass and take action.") ------- Forwarded message --------- From: Alan Ginsberg <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Apr 30, 2024 at 9:36 PM Subject: May Day greetings To: Alan Ginsberg <[email protected]> Come, all ye workers, from every land, Come join the grand industrial band.
