Brookings artist and activist Phyllis Cole-Dai is using her music to fight TransCanada and the Keystone XL pipeline. She's put together this text-show with her piano solo "Circling":
"A Mother's Letter to TransCanada & Big Oil" from Phyllis Cole-Dai on Vimeo.
By the "Circling" track from Cole-Dai's Child of All Earth CD on CDBaby for 99 cents, and Phyllis will send 90 of those cents "to Keystone XL pipeline and tar sands resistance, with a special focus on native efforts."
At peril of letting my spinning brain overconnect, I just read a Wikipedia entry that said Russian soldiers made fun of Chechen bard Timur Mutsurayev's pro-Chechen anthem "Jerusalem" during the Second Chechen War by shouting "Guitars won't take Jerusalem."
Thanks for the plug!
I was in Nebraska for the KXL hearing. What a protest rally (despite the big snowstorm)!
