i'm so fucking psyched that i live in boulder

[mikal haley]

coincidence? maybe. i joined this on a tip from someone, can't remember who but i was glad to see it. yeah! i am on some mailing list living colour have. anyway, i am psyched that a show is coming that i look forward to, at the fucking fox right here in boulder where i have been living for about ten years off and on.

it's gonna be a party, i bet, i'm fucking stoked. just seeing 'niggy tardust' on a poster makes me feel good. dude MUST be able to play with a tag like that.

Yes, it's gonna be a party! We can't wait to be in town and meet you guys. Bring all your friends!

it was wild to be in boulder when the flyers for afropunx.com started going up. because just a couple of days before someone had tipped me off that the place existed - i think i started setting up shop there two or three days before the flyers appeared on the kiosks on the pearl st mall...


it was okay. and yeah, that's right! -- i couldn't get in. no id and not enough cash. was it ironic? no...
i've been hardcore in the streets and free since way back, i am used to sneering at clubs that want me to show a piece of apartheid fucking paper that the government says...


used to it. make it short. anyway, it was cool to see the truly colorful freaks representing love for varied style, love for what's anarchic, love for punk. because of course, poseurs are being more and more embarassed every second. they can't weed sell or bullshit their way out of it.

so i busked out front of the Fox. of COURSE the money i didn't have actually didn't FUCKING matter. that's the point!
soaringeagle was there when we were in the warehouse, basically getting by by throwing shows. it was acid house, back in "the day" and what happened at the Fox last night in boulder was not like that. all the same...

there would be NO ROCK MUSIC AT ALL WITHOUT BLACKS in america. none. what people would be listening to i don't know. i'm listening to the beastie boys right now...

there are alot of people who claim that they represent my family -- who have retarded Nazi attitudes. salutes. tattoos. comrades. they are absolutely fucking lying from start to finish, and i bet a few of them will read this (before they fuck off to eat Hitler's ass in Hell.) that's what the sixties and early seventies were about --
people HATING the vision of unity and collective cognition that is eyes-of-fire's prophecy -- people hating it because they came from generations of lying and despising the red skinned people -- hating them to get their "fetishes", their land...hating them with brutal dishonesty.

you KNOW they go to gatherings and they always try to dominate. it's real close to time for them to fucking GO and well, to some, that is what 2012 and the Mayan calendar mean...because the sort of EVIL PEOPLE that I am talking about --

IN ALL THIS TIME, LITTLE HAS CHANGED

they hate the natives because that direct, racist hate -- always associated with LIES -- it blew the natives' minds, and they are on the ropes, now. likewise our family came to be because of the visions of earth care and human equality...and they hate THAT too, sometimes they come and take up positions in our family -- BOSSY positions where they end up ordering people around.

THAT'S gotta DIE. for our vision to be realised. and a lot of them will just say "ain't never gonna happen," and THEN go on to FRONT like they define the family.

that's why I am not speaking directly to a few dumb fuckers.
we never needed any leaders in our family. and in the families inside our families? Moms, Dads, good older brothers and sisters, yeah, of course. but people cracking whips to make people do shit they don't wanna do?

i was real glad to see the afropunx in boulder colorado.
we hold the fort down.
