You don't need to know anything about me. What the nearly TWO HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE ON MYSPACE need to know is that the five-year-long Iraqi war has gone from costing American taxpayers FIVE BILLION to a whopping TWELVE BILLION dollars A MONTH, over a TRILLION dollars total, all while New Orleans remains in a shambles two years later; babies, elderly, poor, sick and middle-class people starve and go without healthcare; and well-meaning, low-income young adults are routinely, deliberately denied access to a higher education and thus, the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty in their lives and impact change; all in the richest country in the world. You can bet the world would be a very different place IF high-profile artists like Beyonce, JZ, Fergie or even Bon Jovi sang about these inequities and used their songs and lyrics to educate and enlighten rather than pander to the consumerism and ignorance that has, sadly, come to be the accepted norm. The world would definitely be a different place. A better place. Because then, people might actually know what's really going on; that the biggest criminals in this country, are the ones running it. Then they might start thinking, caring, feeling, connecting and realizing their power. Then they might start to understand the plight of the disenfranchised on foreign soil and in this country, KNOWing that we are all one. Then they might take to the streets and declare, "No more! Not in our name!", and riot over something far more important than whether or not their team lost, and vote in numbers so vast that no sham could hide them. But that's a lot of big IFs, boys and girls. Unfortunately, all too often, people don't risk their careers for the sake of the truth. They fall in love with their material possessions and marry themselves to their comfort zones instead, sticking their heads into the sands of denial, like a frightened ostrich, becoming products of and slaves to the very system their predecessors once railed against. And if everyone who's reading a damn Harry Potter book would read a book on philosophy, psycholgy or spirituality instead, they might realize that the world is not such a big place afterall, and that we are all connected, that what you do to another, you do to yourSELF. What a concept. Anyway, if you're still tuned in and you really want to know something about me . . . I am one love. I am a spec of infinite possibility. I am creative conduit. I am a Jamaican-born O.G. punk rocker from back in the day who grew up in L.A. witnessing the early days of punk, rap, new-wave, and the shenanigans of the brave souls who dared to break all the rules and live outside the box, igniting my love for music with a message. I am an old school anarchist. I believe in "The Revolution" of the dawn that is at hand, shaking the doom of a false reality, overtaking old modes of thinking and dissolving the governement-created illusions of fear and separation, causing us all to choose love over hate in 2012. I am a "Burner", a Burningman reveler with a curious mind, a deep love for the "different" ones, and a strong aversion to routine and mediocrity. I am a long-distance runner who talks to God (the universal energy that animates and binds all things - in my opinion) during the solitude of my runs. I am an artist who made the corporate escape a long time ago and never looked back. I am an actor who has loved the stage ever since I was six years old and performed as a flower. I am a mother who is deeply committed to cultivating compassion in the next generation and believe firmly that the core of good in all of us is truly the dominant energy on this planet. I am a seeker of truth who loves to explore all sides of an issue. I am an opinionated, mischievous imp who likes to stir things up and has lots to say about pretty much everything. In fact, I've been feeling really frustrated with Myspace lately. All the hacking is SO not cool. And Rupert Murdoch, the ruthless, monopolizing, pro-censorship, republican-party-funding, capitalist cut-throat who bought Myspace last year has the means at his disposal to eradicate the problem, I'm sure (changing your password and/or setting your profile to private does not stop hackers). But he doesn't care about the quality of your experience here, he's just happy to have more beans to count and the power to help put people in office who protect his big-business intrests. He's probably secretly orchestrating all the hacking and harvesting information about all of us for our liberties-stealing Patriot Act buddies as we speak. But I digress, this is supposed to be about me, right? Becoming a mother has made me even more passionate abut taking good care of our precious environment and all who inhabit it. Dance is a big part of my life and glitched-out breakbeats ALWAYS get me on the dancefloor. Take me to any Puccini opera and I melt. If you want to get my attention, tell me about your travels and what you learned from them. Barcelona's my favorite city. I learned how to order a beer with my value meal at McDonald's(ha!), that being in an amazing city, filled with beautiful people, surrounded by great art and architecture is a great anti-depressant, and that unless you are Jesus, it's not a good idea to talk to prostitutes just for fun. Play Miles Davis's "Sketches of Spain", or mention The Hardest Workin' Man in Showbidniss, The Godfather Himself, Mr. James Brown and I'm all ears. ANYthing by Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, George Carlin, George Clinton, Parliament, Funkadelic, Bootsy Collins, Zap, Zap Mama, Al Green, Little Richard, Hank Williams, Sr., Patsy Kline, Kraftwerk, Chemical Brothers, Stanton Warriors, Mozart, Brahms, Kate Bush,Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Adam And The Ants, Siouxsie And The Banshees, Devo, Iggy Pop, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Nina Hagen, or Bad Brains usually gets my stamp of approval. Now, for more on how I feel about hackers and the upcoming presidential elections, please peep my blog and while you're there, let me know what you THINK by expressing whatever it is you have to say, something that is not a crime in this great, although somewhat screwed up, country. YET!
