ITEM OVERVIEW
6 'tracks' a piece from political avant-punkers Resident Genius, and historian/activist exemplar Howard Zinn. The 6 Zinn excerpts are somewhat of a greatest hits of his speeches recorded over the last 15 years by Roger Leisner of Radio Free Maine. They touch on his 'usual' topics of engaged activism, history from below, war, the media and much much more. RG provide a quirky mix of punk, power-pop, jangly melody and politics. Think Gang Of Four, Minutemen and Songs For Emma. An entertaining, inspiring, educational and thought-provoking collection.
