FANE-BE HEAR NOW!-HOLY SMOKE FOUR CONVICTED!!!!

We start off the show with Gisto and Ganja, a great local musician who pushes the boundaries. We talk about Dred Scott who was a slave from Virginia who petitioned the Supreme court of the united States to gain his freedom. The court ruled that negroes were an inferior race! We then play a Clash tune called Police on my back. We cover the fact that women were barred from practicing law because they were of too timid a nature. We cover these two cases as examples of how courts can rule on issues that are so fundamental that looking back we can only wonder how they came to those conclusions. Put that into context with the Holy Smoke ruling. We interview Paul Defelice regarding his reactions to his conviction in Nelson Provincial court for trafficking and the Necessity defense they put forward. A test case in every sense of the word. We then play another cut from Gisto, a feel love track. We then interview Alan Middlemiss another Holy Smoke activist convicted in the Friday ruling and get his feelings regarding the disturbing ruling. Top this off with a track from Public eenemy called Fight the Power. A flashback with Sesame Street aliens and their encounter with a radio, they even say happy happy joy joy at the end. Couldn’t help but have a Ren and Stimpy thought. The sentencing for the Holy Smoke 4 takes place on October 14, 2008 which is Election Day, a full moon and Sukkot, a jewish holiday which we look into. We play cuts from Shayne Avec I Grec from the album ghosts of the Highway. Then an unreleased cut of the Velvet Undergrounds Satellite of love. We finish with Terence McKennas In the Valley of Novelty with an Immortal Technique break called Positivity. Love you all.
