Good morning Brian and all the listeners and chatters! Just in from a morning round of exercise, will join in earnest as soon as I'm out of the shower. At least until it's time to walk down to the beach for the first Pispala Folk festival in a couple of years.

Yes, cool but sunny, after some heavy rain last night. Poly, it's the beach of Pyhäjärvi, which is a freshwater lake, so no salt but fresh lake air anyway, and lots of hippies and punks hanging out listening to music.

It seems at the moment that we could almost set up a betting pool, not whether mankind goes extinct (or at least society collapses completely) this century, but how: climate collapse or nuclear annihilation? Only problem is that none of us would be around to collect the winnings.

There was some kind of weird glitch. The comment I just posted got stuck, and I decided to exit and restart my browser, and got an error message that there was an address error. After 30 seconds or so it came back.

I wonder if those kids were given some support to process what they were singing.

Almost brought Sun Ra with me Don, but I think I played it last year. And, sadly, I think those kids have seen and heard worse, Heidee. Hi by the way.

Morning Brian,

I regularly post on my collectives blog on Hiroshima day, usually selecting a historical poster in support of the anti nuke cause.

Heidee:

I was scared yesterday when hearing about the Ukrainian damaged part of the nuclear plant!
  5:28am
Gregory Lopez:

I have been exposed to nuclear bombs in South America. An hour away from the city. At least 5 in a week. I am well. So is family. While shocking, we are all in recovery. To be brief Iran said this week it will not go forward on creating their nuclear weapon or arsenal. That is a great sigh of relief. Stopping nuclear exchange is what should be next on the agenda, and I thank President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris for this. I hope I don't bother with my political commentary. It is a shame many cities have suffered nuclear bombings. This is the start of a decade. I am grateful I can be on my computer and listen to WFMU, among other things I enjoy, like walking, jogging, or reading a book on my computer. I left many things, to regain a sense of normalcy, and I am all the better for it.

Hiroshima. Thx for the sad reminder.

Aside- at west village’s St Luke’s library free pile was Simon Winchester’s “the men who United the states”. He begins the book by acknowledging his Japanese mother-in-law. These were the last words she (ever?) wrote, specifically for SW and this book. She then died happily in her sleep:



Wood 水 moku
Fire 火 ka
Earth (Couldn’t cut paste) Do

@gregory- exposed to nuclear bombs? Holy shit!

I think Pete Seeger’s “my name is leeza kalvedge” (?) is about a woman protesting a bomb factory near her California home. Amazing song.

Powerful words, Herb. Thank you for sharing that as well. Great stuff on here today.

Gregory Lopez:

Thank you, Brian and Heidee. :) Yesterday is a day of remembrance. Some of these songs I have been listening to since the mid 1980's. I will add that 2015 - 2016 had an enormous impact in South America when a nuclear chain reaction was unleashed on South American borders due to border fighting. By 2019 it was war. Ukraine will do what it needs to do. As a population we must be civil and allow each country's authorities to handle emergencies. The best way they can. I will wait for their grain as it distributed throughout the world. Hi Herb. I will listen to the song. :) Thank you Brian for your show and this soundtrack!

Good detective work, Gregory. Pete said his lyrics are simply the letter that Liza wrote to her children. That she had to protest, to do SOMETHING!

As "it is" distributed throughout the world! Sorry. I wear glasses. I am sorry Liza had to live like she did. Hiroshima, Nagasaki. This was war.
