...problems to fight back against. Since Rudolph Giulani was elected mayor of New York city, crime has decreased by 40 percent but police brutality in the same time period has increased by 60 percent, and 80 percent of the victims of this police brutality are people of color. Anthony Baez was murdered by the NYPD-he asphyxiated when an officer threw him to the ground in a choke hold after Baez had argued with the police for accosting his brother. The police warned Baez's mother to stay away from the Nation, but she ignored them. "I lost...

So much for geography as destiny...
After intermission, the husky Joel Cage outshone the similarly styled Ellis Paul. The Nields, however, stole the concert from its stewards, pogo-ing from the mid-90's into a classy alternative stage presence.
