My musical guest today was Hudson Valley Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist Jon Walters - founder and lead man of Liquid Ernie. You may also not know Jon from Monica's Kneepads - as the giant hair masks the face.

I aired part of an interview conducted a number of weeks ago with Heller Levinson including his reading of a few of his Hinge Poems from his latest book Smelling Mary.

I was joined in the studio by The Virginia Wolves (Kelly McNally and Adele Schulz) for the debut of their cd release "Curse of the Kill".

I aired an interview with Gene Baur, the president and co-founder of Farm Sanctuary, regarding the FDA's regulation to allow genetically modified animal products into the food chain - without proper labeling.

I was joined by musical guest, the unhinged and spirited effervescently divine and delightful Shabbat Rusciolleli - Hudson Valley singer/songwriter - who performed a wonderful selection of heartful originals including all of my personal favorites: Whales Tooth, How Now, Oh Cigarette, and the rest.

I aired an interview conducted with Poet and Hinge Theory Founder and Propagator Heller Levinson in which Heller and I discussed Hinge Theory - a revolutionary/transformational linguistic cosmology that will add infinite color and splendor to one's language, one's mind. and one's culture - for those who dare to open their minds in full light of the fact that all transformational and revolutionary paradigms are met with indifference and criticism - if not disdain and ridicule - until it is finally determined through the test of time (and the challenge of other critical minds) that there is an inherent structure elucidated in the new formulation of whatever it happens to be - i.e. a judaic christ expounding and embracing universal human rights 2000 years ago, a swiss patent clerk elucidating the fabric of space time a century ago, or a contemporary poet stumbling upon an inherent structure in the formulation of language and communication which unlocks the manifold creativity in language, culture, and human spirit: hinge is to human nature as anarchy is to politics as agnosticism is to religion. Specifically, Heller and I discussed his book "Smelling Mary" published by Michael Annis' Howling Dog Press. [Note: The second hour of this interview will be aired next week]

I also played part of interview with Lawrence Velvel, the Dean of the MA School of Law at Andover, regarding a report published by the Robert Jackson War Crimes Conference he chaired back in September of 2008 regarding War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, as well as High Crimes and Misdemeanors, of high level Bush Administration officials including illegal spying, torture, illegal wars, manslaughter, etc.

I began the program with an interview with Mike Palecek, author of The American Dream, about his new website The New American Dream - a marvelous collection of political/social essays, select current events, art, poetry and commentary on the state of the state.

I played an interview aired from DemocracyNow of Amy Goodman interviewing Congressman Dennis Kucinich about the economic bailout and Israel's invasion of Palestine.

My musical guests, once again, were the outstanding blues band Little Scotty and the Knockouts.

As someone who has studied the classical guitar with one of the worlds premier classical guitarists I have a keen ear and great appreciation for David's abilities and accomplishments and regard David as a premier guitarist on the East Coast, in the US and in the World. His three CD's are not only ideal for listening no matter what the mood - as he offers a diverse selection to carry the listener through all moods and emotions - they make great purchases (remember, Holidays come at all times of the year)

I began the program with Part Two of an interview conducted with psychologist Dr. Stephen Larsen on his outstanding and critical work for our time, "The Fundamentalist Mind: How Polarized Thinking Imperils Us All." Dr. Larsen lays it on the line - from the physiological basis for our perceptions, actions and reactions to environmental and archetypal stimuli to the foundations for world religions locked in the mythogems which dominate the perceptions an actions of entire groups and cultures, this book is an essential part of anyone's intellectual diet who seeks a better understanding of their own behavior and how it will ultimately interact with the characters on the world stage. That is to say, any politician, historian, legal expert, historian, psychologist, therapist, healer, and, well just about everyone should read this book. That's why I interviewed him, you know. So you would realize the importance of this work and go purchase it and pass it on to the next person when you are done reading it.
