Truth and great insight!! "Here the freaks and geeks of Dylan's Mr Jones would pervade..." -- great nod to "Ballad of a Thin Man" and the Black Panthers interpretation of the song. Harlem has indeed become a freak show. sometimes in Brooklyn I wonder where I'm living as well. Is NYC a suburb or a city? Great capturing of the live rendition at Manhattan Music & Art center where I first saw this (Lincoln Center of all places!)...anybody know if there is an audio version of this or a podcast?
