Interview with Regis Tremblay

Award-winning filmmaker Regis Tremblay interviewed me at length earlier today from his home in Crimea. It was a wide-ranging and interesting discussion, if I don't say so myself!  Here's the audio version of it.

"Lines Are Drawn" REMIX

"One side says it's a surgical strike
But that's not what it looks like
To anyone else who's seeing this
It looks just like the apocalypse
It looks like a whole population
Being targeted for total devastation
Times like these, you pick a side
You can't be neutral in a genocide..."

I wrote this song yesterday, as I was anticipating the genocide ruling from the Hague. Today, as the World Court has made clear that it is the responsibility of the world to prevent this genocide from being fully executed, I received this beautiful remixed rendition of the song from Chet.

New song: "Lines Are Drawn"

One of the most well-known aspects of the Second World War was that the virulently anti-communist leaders of countries like the United Kingdom made an alliance with the Soviet Union, because of the mutual interest they all thought they had in defeating Hitler.

Interview with Jon Schwartz and Elise Swain, with music

Joy LaClaire's interview with Jon Schwartz and Elise Swain of the Intercept was brilliant. All of them share so many valuable insights. I originally learned about the interview because of the inclusion in it of several of my songs, also very well-done.
