So, I\u2019m already planning for the next bi-weekly episode, for March 1st, which will continue out discussing on fascism, the rise of the right, and hopefully be able to focus on the creation of the economic pressures that enable fascism, whilst still allowing the neo-capitalist class to profit.<\/p>\n<p>So, turn on! Tune in! And hang out, let\u2019s talk about these important issues, what\u2019s happening, and speak truth to power.<\/p>\n<p>My name is Joel Green, I\u2019m the old man on campus, let\u2019s talk about this stuff.<\/p>\n<p>and this week\u2019s playlist is:<\/p>\n<p>1. \u201cB for Bourgeoisie\u201d by King Lobster Krew<\/p>\n<p>2. \u201cNorthern Star\u201c by Danny Michel<\/p>\n<p>3. \u201cBorn on the Bayou\u201d by Creedence Clearwater Revival (live at Woodstock)<\/p>\n<p>4. \u201cThe Magnificent Seven\u201d by Kokolo (a Clash song)<\/p>\n<p>Now, I think I\u2019m going to put a post on out facebook page \u201cThe Truth to Power Hour\u201d, with a poll, since I bragged so much about Oscar Peterson\u2019s live performance of Hymn to Freedom, and Also CCR\u2019s performance at Woodstock, what if I allowed one song during the hour be dedicated to a live performance that\u2019s better, or maybe just has a different energy than the recorded version.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I\u2019ll try that out.<\/p>\n<p>But in the meantime, here\u2019s our episode on Fascism. We\u2019ll be continuing this conversation in two weeks.
