Jim (and Charlie – for a little bit) Speaks!

Posted on November 22, 2019October 3, 2023 By Priptona No Comments on Jim (and Charlie – for a little bit) Speaks!

Talking about political activism in the 1980s and the Minds part in it. This…washing away of its relevance now. “It’s all been said.” That may be so, Jim. But…no one’s learning! So we need to keep fighting the good fight! Please! Don’t just wash it away with “it’s all been said”. Well…don’t bloody bother writing anything as poignant and relevant as Walk Between Worlds then, eh? Just…you know…”nae bother”.

Please, Sir! YOU HAVE A VOICE! USE IT! IT’S STILL RELEVANT!

Anyway…that’s my peace. As a fan. Who loves you. And loves you even more when you express some political cut and thrust. I’m not telling you to go all Bono. By any means, just…don’t be afraid to nail your colours to the mast, okay?

EDIT:

So…it was on YouTube this video…and then Reuters took it down and embedded it onto a page on their website. Thanks, Reuters!
