Just saw Amy & David Goodman live in Atlanta. Wow!! |
|
They're out on the road doing a tour for their new book, "Static." I highly recommend going to see them if/when they come to your town. While David did a few readings from the book, Amy made an hour-long, impassioned speech that channeled Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, and Arundhati Roy. She was absolutely brilliant and captivating; it was one of the best public appearances I've ever witnessed, maybe even surpassing RFK Jr.'s amazing talk I attended last year.

My favorite news program. They really put the corporate news to shame with a small fraction of their budget. I'll have to see if they are coming around here.

Exception to the Rulers pissed me off so much I had to put it down several times!
I caught them a few years ago, on the last tour, and it made me a fan for life.
They were just in Portland on Sat, but I missed them. :(

I'm going to buy "Static" as soon as I'm done with my present reading. I've not read "Exception to the Rulers," either. Is it worth my time? (I'm guessing it is).

I got goosebumps when she told the story onstage, and I got them again when I read that chapter of the book.
