Fresh – yeah fam. Unfortunately a lot of his message has been forgotten/deliberately obscured, but that’s the beauty of the internet – we can dig it back up again and remind ourselves of the original purpose.

Robyn –

I mean its like if you just crossed out Vietnam and inserted Iraqâ€¦

Yes, yes, yes. That is exactly it.

Powerful…i was listening to this today on the way to work. And I’ve spent the past few days really listening to the political candidates and Bush and all that. I’m blown away by how relevant this still is right now. I mean its like if you just crossed out Vietnam and inserted Iraq…somebody slide this cd onto George’s desk please. We need another brilliant mind for change like Dr. King.

THANKYOU for bringing such a moving speech back to life. King has been gone for years but not forgotten it just good that you use the beats as a backdrop to show the importance of a great man Rip Dr. King

Iain – yeah, the first time I heard him speak I noticed that. He kinda bites the aesthetic without all the substance – but I think he’s sorta being pressured into doing that.

Vince – good links. I wasn’t aware they’d done a video for that joint. And that poem sums up pretty well what they’ve done to the man. Thank you.

I was not there for the event of course, but I do remember portions of that speech being played over and over after his death. He is the most important man of peace ever! this nation would have fallen in on it’self were it not for him.

sweet show displaying a wonderful orator not afraid to walk head on to a death he spoke so about.

lighters up for the one hundredth, congrats dex.

Pretty powerful stuff. Makes me think about the way in which Obama speaks; trying hard to sound epic, but being careful not to sound civil-rights-y. I wonder how that will change as the primaries progress…

Happy 100th man.

Hate to stereotype but politicians arenâ€™t adept listeners. Iâ€™m reminded of Angela Davis and when she spoke about the perils of the Messiah Complex Oh, I listened to that documix & some lady made a brilliant comment about the concept of appeasement! Later on I found some poem from a book called, â€œAn Inconvenient Heroâ€ written by Vincent Harding. Here it go:

Now that he is safely dead
Let us praise him
Build monuments to his glory
Sing hosannas to his name
Dead men make
Such convenient heroes: They
Cannot rise
To challenge the images
We would fashion from their lives
And besides,
It is easier to build monuments
Than to make a better world.
So, now that he is safely dead
We, with eased consciences
Will teach our children
That he was a great manâ€¦knowing
That the cause for which he lived
Is still a cause
And the dream for which he died
Is still a dream
A dead man’s dream

also for future supervisors at office jobs..(not trying to be funny)…this is a good sermon for everyday life!

Vince – yeah. I think this speech should be required listening for anyone even considering a position as a public figure of any sort.

By: dex digital

dex digital — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 20:46:12 +0000

Brer – yeah, the focus of the show is King, not the beats. Don’t worry, though, there’s a B-side + bonus beats edition to this episode on the way in a few.

Ayatollah– thats one of my favorite beats (“Listen”)
The drum major metaphor can empower & condemn simultaneously.

That was one of the greatest speeches I’ve heard in a long, long time… I’m not gonna recommend any artist this time. Political or otherwise because, after hearing that speech, I can’t find anything now to match or even come close. This was a good #100
Peace
