“The cure for anything is salt water. Sweat, tears or the ocean.”

“According to the Center for an Urban Future, “freelance businesses has been a faster growing part of the Brooklyn economy than employer-based businesses”. The BEDC reported that the number of creative self-employed persons in Brooklyn grew at five times the rate of Manhattan over the 2002-2005 period. Brooklyn now has 22,000 creative self-employed workers. More than 70% are independent artists, writers, photogrpahers, jewewly makers, designers - making Brooklyn’s “creative crescent”, a cluster of waterfront neighborhoods stretching from Greenpoint in the north to Red Hook in the south, the largest concentration of artists in the history of the world.”

“And so now I’d like to say - people can change anything they want to. And that means everything in the world. People are running about following their little tracks - I am one of them. But we’ve all got to stop just following our own little mouse trail. People can do anything - this is something that I’m beginning to learn. People are out there doing bad things to each other. That’s because they’ve been dehumanised. It’s time to take the humanity back into the center of the ring and follow that for a time. Greed, it ain’t going anywhere. They should have that in a big billboard across Times Square. Without people you’re nothing. That’s my spiel.”
CREATIVE INFLUENCES WEEK 30 JOE STRUMMER

CREATIVE INFLUENCES WEEK 29 - WHO’S THAT? BROWN! GOOD GOOD, IT’S A RAID!
With 4 wives and plenty of time in the joint for drugs, alcohol, guns and domestic disputes, James Brown had seen more action and drama than an HBO series, but that isn’t the focus.
The focus is the funk, cause this is about the influence and we want the funk and we’ve gotta have that funk and soul brother no. 1 is the godfather of that funk. Surrounded by talent and the horniest of horns, Mr Dynamite ran a tight ship, giving rise to thundercats like Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker and Bootsy Collins. Sliding around on those greased shoes with those moves that lay the foundation to the future of robotics, JB would conduct his band and his dancers. Every finger point, slide and spin had purpose and if you missed it or weren’t on time there we penalties - Maceo knew; “You gotta be on time. You gotta have your uniform. Your stuff’s got to be intact”
JB was the hardest working man in show business and as far as creative influences go, he really is the the legal guardian to the children of soul. After 4 decades of influence through funk, soul, disco, hip hop, pop and dance, all the new bags are based on the design of papa’s original. JB’s death on Christmas day really was the big payback.
Bring on the juice.

“I only got seventh-grade education, but I have a doctorate in funk, and I like to put that to good use.”
SUMMER’S END OR JUST THE BEGINNING?
Did you know that Halloween is said to be linked to the British Isles and means summer’s end? That explains the bonfires to combat the emergence of the season of mist and the apple bobbing for the harvest of the mellow fruitfulness.
This also makes sense as to why it’s not really celebrated down under as the light pours down the golden west and on the balmy zephyrs tranquil rest.
Oh! how I love, on a fair summer’s eve.
