DFA 1.0 on the "Recommended Blog Posts"

Written by: Imn2Paine on Jul 12, 2008 7:41 PM EDT

WE who understand the notion of community sans HQ with hope of a soap box to stand on, or anything else come from attempts at individual expression must, or can, find a nitch here.  It is a matter of continuity, if WE will. Why should WE?

Caetano Veloso & Gilberto Gil - Wait Until Tomorrow


I must note, this tune is very dud (IE mprov*ish).  't's good.

just asked about you on the current front page post - long time no hear, I was thinking of sending Sheriff Chuck.

 

Just an example of the community here formed in DFA 1.0 and 2.0., witholding comment on 3.0 and beyond.

Sly and the Family Stone - It's a Family Affair

 

It's a family affair, it's a family affair
It's a family affair, it's a family affair
One child grows up to be
Somebody that just loves to learn
And another child grows up to be
Somebody you'd just love to burn
Mom loves the both of them
You see it's in the blood
Both kids are good to Mom
'Blood's thicker than mud'
It's a family affair, it's a family affair
Newlywed a year ago
But you're still checking each other out
Nobody wants to blow
Nobody wants to be left out
You can't leave, 'cause your heart is there
But you can't stay, 'cause you been somewhere else!

You can't cry, 'cause you'll look broke down
But you're cryin' anyway 'cause you're all broke down!

It's a family affair
It's a family affair

This is really one of those “I am bored” exercise. I am taking apart few rhythm and blues. CHeck out The Ramsey Lewis Trio, they have a couple fun tracks. (one fo them is used in US3, Cantaloop Island I think)

was watching these before making the list

Cannonball Adderley - Jive Samba - 1963

As far as the topic goes, well DFA 1.0 was anything goes.  Of course, it was better than that.  Far better than I know, as I was an observer who was encouraged. 

I don't want to have anyone wax remorseful for the "good ol' days," because that is so nowhere, man.  Nowhere for anyone to go.  Going back isn't an option.

Folks can addapt, and move forward.  'at's an option.

By Thankful2Thankful4Dean on Jul 12, 2008 8:54 PM EDT

True, it'll never be what 1.0 was because that was the heydey of the campaign, and 2.0 brought to fruition several blog events - March for Women's Lives delegation, Dfest 1, quilts, cookbook...  Actually, 1.0 and 2.0 were not altogether 'anything goes', there were rare instances of time-outs and rarer post deletions.  I don't think it's that we'uns are looking for exactly what was, we've adapted time and again to changes here.  If there's any waxing, IMO, it's for the style of moderating found in 1.0 and 2.0.

Why should we stay, because there is much work to do and much information to share.

'xactly.  converse about what is.  You thinking of doing any campaign work this round?  I'm hoping to get involved in the Dan Seals Il-10th campaign when back in Chitown.  Time to turn the 10th blue!

the Chicago Parade?  cool - I missed all the coverage this year.  Didn't raise as much this year as last as getting pledges was sidetracked by travels... still did reasonably though.  Thankful for your contribution ♥, btw.  We had turquoise t-shirts again, and one of Rene's friends walked w/us again (best buns in the parade :).  My older sister was sick and couldn't make it, but my neice joined us!

Paine_tinythumb

Stevie Wonder - Living For The City


http://hypem.com/track/588365/Stevie+Wonder-Living+For+The+City


A boy is born in hard time mississippi
Surrounded by four walls that aint so pretty
His parents give him love and affection
To keep him strong moving in the right direction
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!

His father works some days for fourteen hours
And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
And youd best believe she hardly gets a penny
Living just enough, just enough for the city... yeah!

His sisters black but she is shonuff pretty
Her skirt is short but lord her legs are sturdy
To walk to school shes got to get up early
Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
Living just enough, just enough for the city...um hum

Her brothers smart hes got more sense than many
His patiences long but soon he wont have any
To find a job is like a haystack needle
Cause where he lives they dont use colored people
Living just enough, just enough for the city...

Living just enough...
For the city... ooh, ooh
(repeat several times)

His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
He spends his life walking the streets of new york city
Hes almost dead from breathing in air pollution
He tried to vote but to him theres no solution
Living just enough, just enough for the city...
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I hope you hear inside my voice of sorrow
And that it motivates you to make a better tomorrow
This place is cruel no where could be much colder
If we dont change the world will soon be over
Living just enough, stop giving just enough for the city!!!!

abc coverage on file...

http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l15/T2T4D/Theshoes.jpg

watching to see... the parade got delayed bigtime though by someone falling off a float and breaking a leg.  Had to stand around for over 45 mins. ~ egads, my feet hurt after that and we had 4/5 of the distance to go yet.  Recovery was quick, day or two of tender toesies and tired legs...

I got to talk w/ Sec. of State Jesse White before the parade.

...cool just saw Deb Shore, a DFA'er

- Ironic

By Imn2Paine on Jul 12, 2008 10:48 PM EDT

the two of us spoke about just that - people falling from a moving float and injuring themselves, or worse.

T2t4d_tinythumb

- yep

By Thankful2Thankful4Dean on Jul 12, 2008 11:03 PM EDT

they showed PFLAG, right behind us, the car, but not us in front of the car.  The guy walking with us got edited in though - 43:00 or so, just a couple mins. before the end...
