This Week on GR
by C.L. Cook - Gorilla-Radio.com
On February 9th, a train derailed outside East Palestine, Ohio. The toxic cargo, purposefully ignited in a disastrously ill-advised attempt at environmental remediation.
David Rovics‘ new song, East Palestine is a modern ballad of an old American story of the venality and base corruption culminating in the Ohio catastrophe.
David’s recent article too, ‘Communications for Indy Musicians, Then and Now‘ is a reflection not only on his quarter century making a living as a touring musician, but of living and working in our mediated times. His new album, Killing the Messenger is due out any day, telling the stories of East Palestine and others.
David Rovics, Robert Hoyt, and Claude share a moment.
Today, David Rovics on Killing the Messenger in these end days of media in an extended talk.
Artist: David Rovics
Song: East Palestine from the album, Killing the Messenger
