  Thanks for listening to this episode of The Dusty Show on WFMU. I hope you enjoyed it. It was good to see all the empassioned people on the streets during May Day in New York. Their enthusiasm was infectious and a great sense of positivity was in the air. It was also good to see Occupy friends like Brendan Burke, and to hear that their movement lives and breathes and is moving forward despite tremendous resistance. I hope to have Brendan on soon

Really enjoyed the flea finds this week, as well. I am always tempted to cram in as many as I can because I get excited about them and grow anxious to share them with you. Better to let them breathe a bit, though. Nice to play four flat-out on this episode. That one-hour of time goes by too fast. Anyway, I hope you liked them, too. I realize that there are songs I could play that would connect more easily with FMU listeners, but by challenging myself to accept things I might otherwise reject and by asking you to do the same, it feels right somehow, and fun. You are the best audience anywhere, I have no doubt.

Get in touch if you like -

dusty@wfmu.org - Im on Facebook, SOundcloud, and Twitter. There's even a group call Pigeonnaires that you can join. I hope you do. http://www.facebook.com/groups/pigeonnaires/?fref=ts

Time to zzzzzzz now, and then a new week starts. Another week, another Dusty. I'm glad you've stuck with me. Take care and ... always remember.

@dale: OTOH, public sector unions first formed in the 60s and 70s so that those employees could make *comparable* wages as the private sector equivalents. Private wages have dropped and stagnated, now they can get those workers angry at public workers and demand their wages be cut. Divide and conquer.

Trade agreements benefit poorer countries while taking American jobs away. We used to operate under what we call 'protectionism'. Now American corporations base in poor countries where they can hire workers for slave wages. American companies should be required to hire American citizens. But Obama said to forget it, with the new world order and the global economy, those jobs are gone and aren't coming back. Get over it. Corporate greed will be the downfall of humanity.

Danne D:

@Slim when I was in college I had taken a sociology course (it was around the 20th anniversary of Kent State) and that was one of things that was discussed. Incidental to the rest of this story but anyway soon after it was the end of the semester and I was heading back home and on the VAN on the way to the airport started chatting with the military gentleman that was on the airport shuttle (Rantoul AFB was nearby). Anyhow in the airport I continued the convo and asked him where he was from and he said "Kent, Ohio". And there was a pause. And then he asked me how old I was on May 4, 1970 (and I rather sheepishly told him I was still a couple months in planning). There's a unique kind of bravery - this guy enrolled in ROTC and it paid for his school at Kent State which can't have been easy - he was a student at the time of the incident. And what I took away was how much it affected him even all those years later and how saddened he was at what had happened.

And as tough as it might be at times, it's good that you've gotten to talk to these fine folks because it only grows empathy for more people who've been involved in traumatic events (small/personal or large scale) that you might never meet, but can still help in one way or another.
