http://www. latibet. org/ has an exclusive interview with an American writer who joined the protest march to Tibet from Dharamsala, India! Interview by The Tibet Connection Radio Show:
INTERVIEW WITH AMERICAN WRITER WHO JOINED THE MARCH TO TIBET:
Lex Pelger on what happens when you put 85 Tibetan monks in an Indian jail...
An interview about courage, international friendship, and how to break INTO an Indian jail...
On the morning of March 10th, 2008, on the 49th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising in Lhasa, 100 Tibetans, mostly monks, set off from the town of Dharamsala, India, with the intention of walking to Tibet. They were marching to focus global attention on the plight of their countrymen, timing their arrival at the Indian-Tibetan border with August’s Beijing Olympics. One of the marchers was Tenzin Tsundue, the poet and activist, who has become an icon of creative resistance among Tibetan youth.
They were only a few hours in to the march when they were stopped by local authorities under orders from Delhi Central government and forbidden to leave the district of Kangra in the state of Himachal Pradesh. Unperturbed, they continued on and the following day, all 100 were summarily arrested at the Kangra district border.
The Tibet Connection’s Ronny Novick spoke with Lex Pelger, a 25- year-old Pennsylvanian writer who is traveling with the marchers. Lex spoke by cell phone from outside the jail at Jawala Mukhi about the marchers’ dedication to non-violent resistance, why he and 9 other Westerners joined the hunger strike that they mounted, and how to break INTO an Indian jail....
Wooden Shijps? I'll have to check that out. Let's do some dub...of course, time willing. You probably have a lot on your plate right now, recording Nectar...and all those psychedelic metal bands requesting your services;)
Well were off to a great start this year! The band has been in the studio at Uber Studios to work on their first album, also recording with a group of musicians for a 16 track Gospel album, back at Live Mix Studio to record 3 more videos/songs for Gazz TV and just performed an acoustic gig at the Clay Center for the Arts. Several new pictures are in our photo album so check them out a post a comment or 2. Looking forward to this years Smoke on the Water Regional Chilifest at the Appalachian Power Park. We will keep you posted about the event. Until then have a great one!
