Freedom is a word I rarely use without thinking. And without thinking of Richie Havens. I have an LP that I had before Woodstock. Did not get to go there. Glad that Mr. Havens remains will be there.

Listen also to the Woodstock soundtrack.

Freedom!
Free-ee-dom!
Free-DOM!

Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone

A long, long, long, way, way from my home
Like every day, today is a confluence. Snowden, Kim Dotcom, Richie Havens, freedom.
Perhaps this interview interview will be required reading someday. Or banned/buried if the current administration has its way.
