Most proposals for so-called anarchy are really proposal for a different kind of government. Some authority gets to stop me doing what I want to do, and I might not get to vote on the authority, but somehow it counts as "anarchy."

Gil Scott-Heron - Whitey On the Moon (Official Audio) YouTube video by Ace Records

Congratulations to Gil-Scott Heron: for a protest song that is now out-of-date. It took 57 years, & technically, still, only Whitey has been down on the moon, but it's arguably out-of-date. Now if we could make the rest of his protest songs out-of-date, that would be progress.

All our neighborhood protests are led by people from the neighborhood. If you or someone you know lives in Metairie and wants to start one, we can help spread the word.

Why do authoritarian leaders name things after themselves while they're alive?
Because they don't think anybody will name things after them when their dead.

All Who Come in Peace

"All Who Come in Peace Are Welcome Here," by my "band", Lawless Park has over 100 listeners and 1000 plays on Spotify in the week since it came out. And most surprising of all, the city with the largest number of listeners is Benin City, Nigeria (where 8 people have played it). Help me out, play it.
