Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Jail Guitar Doors is an independent initiative set up by Billy Bragg with the aim of providing musical equipment for the use of inmates serving time in Her Majesty’s prisons. It takes its name from the b-side of the Clash’s 1978 single "Clash City Rockers"… Ex-prisoners who have actively participated such sessions have are-conviction rate of between 10% – 15%, compared to the national average of 61%.

On my sound mixing desk at the club I was working in, I made a sticker that said, “This Fascist Kills Machines.”

Beautiful!

“All you fascists are bound to lose!”

“I’ve got a socialism of the heart.”

When I think I hate politics, I’ve only to remember how much I love Billy Bragg and everything he stands for.
