~By John Le Carre ~
Today, music is visual.
~By Archie Shepp ~
This country has always been run by elite, and it's an elitist democracy. And that's not a radical concept. It's elitist democracy. When people talk about democracy, they don't talk - really talk about participatory democracy, until the point that we get us at Election Day.
~By Danny Glover ~
