Greendale, Part II

Got my copy Thursday. Raw and ragged. Electric guitar as murky and distorted as the picture of reality we are fed every day.

It's also a damn nice companion piece to the powerful and moving film, Greendale (2003), Young's fearless, stirring ode to direct action which aired on IFC last week. Ragged Glory, indeed.

And now it's time for a rolling, cross-country protest featuring as many anti-Fascist musicians as can be assembled -- a painfully overdue celebration of DEFIANCE. Whether or not it will happen is an open question (I've heard no speculation concerning such an event), but it needs to happen. Badly.
