Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade

Conservatism, Reaction, and the Elder's Responsibility: A Message to My Age Grade Great Day, Fam. This one right here? It’s not for everyone. If you’re not at or approaching Eldership—defined in our tribe as about 55 years old and up—you might not feel all of this. But if you’re curious, or if you’re one of those younger souls already walking with wisdom, you’re welcome to keep reading. This message is for the Elders. For those of us who should know better. And yes—I’m including myself. Let’s Start With the Mirror I’ve got to confess something. I’ve been guilty. Guilty of being reactionary. Guilty of falling into the trap of conservatism. Guilty of romanticizing the past. Guilty of looking at our young people and calling them “soft”—as if we were born warriors, as if we didn’t have to become who we are through fire, failure, and guidance. Many of us Elders are stuck in a loop. We remember only the highlights of our youth—the toughest times we survived, the boldest moments ...

Gypsy festival

Gypsy festival/
Local talent share their skills/
A beautiful site/

I was invited down to Cincy to take part in the Gypsy festival. It was a beautiful event, and  I will be at the next event. For those that don't know the Gypsy lounge has a spot in cincy and columbus ohio.
They invited local talent from all over the state to share what they do. The poets, Hip-Hop artist, R&B, Jazz,Rock, and etc..
I want to first send out shouts to Gypsy lounge for putting on the event (especially Abdi and Zee). Then I need to send out some shots for Rasul the Knowbody that helped get me there.
KnowVernacular slam team put it down sharing there soul with some powerful pieces (coach Jugh Jeffner, Lotus Blossom, and Kari) giving out a mix of soul and truth. There was a Rock band that laid down some hot shit, known Grey Leaves.
Unfortunately my phone died on the way down so I didn't get no pics, but I want to send props out to ShyRony (to check out some of their music hit them up @ reverbnation.com/ShyRony) for putting on a hot set. Beautiful young ladies and I will write some more on them in the future when I do another salute to local artist.
Hey, summer is coming and it is time to turn off the radio and get out and support local artist. They can only get as good as their support. So that means they need to make money, so get  out and support what you like. Start demanding that your local radio station plays more local artist. You dont find it strange that everywhere you go the same shit is on rotation. Where is the local flavor, and why isn't it being supported by the local media. The radio stations wanted us to get up and call our politicians to block the bill that would have them paying royalties to artist, now in return you need to demand that they start showcasing some local talent. If they don't lets just cut out the middleman that is trying  to force feed us bullshit through the airwaves.
