Trying to Honor John Trudell, Arif Mardin, Allen Ginsberg

A Mix for Bobby

I had to see a movie about Bobby Kennedy
to find his Words
and his humanity.

His speech following Dr. Martin Luther King's Assassination
inspired me.
The words moved like music through my mind,
so I found a recording of his voice
and starting Djing whike playing the recording over it
(mixing vinyl, actually mixing, unlike many video game DJs today)...

The music flowed with his verbiage
like a remix of a classic track.

An artist called this feeling "true inspiration"
and I wish I had better words to describe
the feeling after a good set, finishing an article, a book,
a bikeride, a walk on the beach, an evening (early morning hours)
with dear friends, and feeling invincible with the Sunrise.

But all I have are these silly-ass thoughts
