dear friends -

Yesterday, i followed the wbai/goodlight msg board and listened to clayton
riley take listener calls. (riley was abusive to cllers with whom he
disagreed.)

On the Irish show that followed riley, the programmers began by saying that
there were irishmen in the un peace keeping force in timor and then launched
into reading the etan letter decrying the smear against amy and the denials
that the '91 massacre had actually occurred -- they went on to speak of
amy's courage they made very strong statements in her support, they spoke of
how she had spoken out in support of a censored irish jounalist and other
important coverage of irish issues that went out to a national radio
audience.  then opened the phone lines to listeners -- they said, "These are
your phone lines: you pay telemarketers for them." The show was wonderful. 
the hosts did not interrupt listeners who called in.  at the end of the
show, they said that they could be heard evey saturday on wbai and that they
hoped they would be back next week.


"...Defunct WBAI High Culture Poetics and history means complete
obliteration of areas of both official and counter-culture from
recorded memory, auditory history.  This defaults culture itself.
It is not a minority or majority matter, every world suffers, first,
second and third, and any more imaginable." - Allen Ginsburg, 1977
