Bob Marley...Elevation Rhymes, Jazz, Blues and Reggae. It has to have a beat and be positive. What are you listening to? Beck, Erykah Badu, A Tribe Called Quest, Digable Planets, Matisyahu, Gorillaz, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, The Roots, Blackalicious, Bad Brains, John Legend, Dead Prez, Jamiroquai, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers, Rage Against the Machine, Moby, Toots & The Maytals, Peter Tosh and Brazilian Girls are artists I can't get enough of...
HEY YA! to Chicken, Jester, JJ, Gibb, Donnie, Spettro, Zack, No Lemon and all my fave DJ's...On the radio: screw NPR, they are a Ford Foundation, CPB controlled wing of the propaganda apparatus, purposely avoiding deep issues. I LOVE KMFR 103.7 Classic Rock, no commercials.
KPFT Houston TX I wish I could hear Air America and Al Franken...I wish I could hear Democracy Now! and Amy Goodman on my radio...But "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride," my grandma always said. Besides, SA is under media apartheid. Thanks, FearChannel, AT&T and Time Warner!

I am an anti-imperialist, radical media activist/journalist, improv comedian and emcee. I practice improvisation as a lifestyle. I ask questions and formulate opinions, trying to think for myself. I like tolerant people. I have wacky habits. I like reading and talking, but love writing and performing. I've been accused of being a smart-ass, bullshitter and narc. I'm sarcastic and cynical sometimes...but I've also got a life just like you! "My whole life is real." ~Mos Def
But it's not about me, myspacers. It's about us, and we got issues.
In no particular order: Dennis Kucinich, Robert Wexler, Tim Duncan, Bo Jackson, Donovan McNabb, Christopher Hitchens, George Galloway, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Eugene Jarecki, Robert McChesney, Mark Crispin Miller, Sut Jhally, Greg Palast, Naomi Klein, Naomi Wolf, Matt Besser, Janeane Garofalo, Rosario Dawson, Regina King, Andy Dick, Dave Chappelle, Katt Williams, Zack DeLaRocha, Beck, Paul Reubens, Christopher Guest, Sarah Silverman, David Cross, Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, Arundhati Roy...People who don't get their news and views from celebrities, CNN, FoxNews, the "big four," daily rags, FearChannel, corporate sponsors, megachurches, military intellignece, think tanks or lobbyists. Anyone who taps into the ancient knowledge. People who aren't afraid to use myspace for free speech, self-actualized people of action, people who FOLLOW THROUGH.
