Mr. Mellencamp is right. And people are mad.

This episode of the Revolution 21 podcast goes out to those people who, seven years into the 21st century, have firm convictions that any questioning of the "justice" occurring in Jena, La., is worth "f*** you and f*** Mychal Bell" or ungrammatical assertions that you're on the side of rampant criminality.

OF COURSE, for many of these folks, I'm sure the all-black Jena Six's so-called rampant criminality equals "boys will be boys" when the schoolyard fight is an all-white affair.

In other words, we're going to hear John Mellencamp's brand-new release, "Jena." The one that's got the town's mayor so darn mad, not to mention so much of the right-wing universe railing against "liberal rock musicians."

After all, isn't the White Right rather proving Mr. Mellencamp's point with their overreaction and venom?

Otherwise, we've got a pretty diverse show for you this week -- as usual. Not to mention a sweet "little" set of tasty tunes.

It's the Big Show, and it's designed to rock your world. One way or another.

Be there. Aloha.

Tomorrow in Minneapolis, a broad coalition will meet to build a campaign for the Jena6.

Very good blog.
