[bomp] Why Clear Channel is part of a Facist environment.

[ItsBoss9@xxxxxxx]

But the issue here is Clear Channel, and Clear Channel is operating through
government to deny consumers free choice in listening, purchasing, concerts
venues, etc., and limiting artists in their exercise of free speech. 

Thanks for the explanation.  Here's the weird thing, back in the '60s it was 
common for protest cats to use the term "Facist Pigs" when referring to the 
cops... this kind of thing was really prevelant during the whole mid-'60s Sunset 
Strip scene, which was of course the center of the Garage world.  I've got 
lots of articles from the Los Angeles Free Press and photos of Garage-niks 
holding protest signs referring to the L.A.P.D. as "Fascist".   I think the problem 
for us on this list, historically and practically, is that the only time we 
hear of this kind of thing in Pop now is in reference to the Yippies, Abbie 
Hoffman people.  But what everyone forgets, and is not properly documented 
historically, is that L.A. was ahead of everyone on all of this.  And the music, the 
Garage music, was spurred by these sentiments, not just the Standells movie 
theme but things like "Too Many People" by the Leaves, which was early for 
them.  I really think the reason why a lot of people we know just refute any 
political discussion out of hand is because, you know, the Garage revival came 
about during the Reagan years, and that environment was not a good one to be in.  
There was so much repression during that time.  Today, c'mon, it's 20 years 
later, the situation is much different and its more important to understand the 
issues right now than in the '80s because like the actual '60s, change is 
achievable once again.  Reagan had turned all '60s sentiment into a laughing 
stock, socially.  Bush II getting in office this time was a huge mistake on many 
levels (let's not discuss that) but a turnaround in this years election is about 
as important as things surrounding the Cuban missle crisis in 1962.  Right 
now, we are in deep shit, and change has to happen.  So to bury one's head in 
the sand is to not contribute to that change.

It is also possible to turn around the clampdown of the airwaves, that is 
actually a big part of it, both television broadcasting and radio broadcasting. A 
couple of weeks ago we went to a moveon.org house party to watch OUTFOXED, 
you know, the documentary about "FoxNews".   If people do not think this type of 
thing is important, remember, what was the first thing U.S. troops bombed in 
Iraq.... the TV network.

Fark the Nucks,
