Monday morning as we contemplate the omission of Dylan’s greatest love, Sara Lownds, from the recent biopic, we might listen to this epic written by Dylan for her

And we’ll post tomorrow as we missed yesterday.

Last week we broadcast Part 1 of our conversation with Malcolm Guy, co-director of the new film called My Friend The Terrorist, about Joma, the founder of the Communist Party of the Philippines and the Filipino New Peoples guerrilla Army, the NPA.
We left off last time with my rather naive comment about a scene in the film I found shocking. So now Part Two of our interview with Malcolm Guy, co-director of My Friend the Terrorist, as broadcast on Arts Express radio, heard on WBAI FM NYC and Pacifica affiliates across the nation.

Monday morning, 450 million + YouTubers can’t be wrong. Mark Knopfler’s and Dire Straits “Sultan of Swings” was an original lyrical, musical and guitar instrumental rock achievement.

“The song you just heard is from a poem by Jose Maria Sison, also known as Joma. But more than a poet, for the first 25 years of Joma’s adult life, he was known as the Fidel, Mao, and Che of the Philippines. However, for the next 35 years, he lived in exile in the Netherlands with his wife and comrade in arms, Julieta de Lima, thousands of miles from the Filipino battle grounds, giving counsel to the guerrilla army which he had founded.

All my life I have wondered,
Why doesn’t somebody write
A terrible poem that says
In so many words, this world
Is a fraud, the people who
Run it are murderous fools,
Everything they ever printed
Is a lie, all their damn art
And literature is a fake,
Behind their gods and laws, and
Pee hole bandits, their science
Is just a fancy way to kill
Us and our girls and kids.
What I want to know is why
Somebody doesn’t write it
All down in about twenty
Lines of seven syllables
Once and for all, and scare the shit
Out of all the dirty squares.
What the heck, let’s make it an all Jesse Welles week. This guy grows on me every day more and more.

Monday morning, another great song by Jesse Welles. It’s gotta be one of the best anti-war songs I’ve heard in the last fifty years. Take good care of yourself, kid, the world’s going to need you.

Josh Turner and friends with a rollicking Beach Boys re-creation straight from his apartment. The harmonies, the ridiculous lyrics, and the 1960s vibe are all so much fun.
