The hardest working poet in show business Maybe the hardest working radio DJ and producer on earth? Sinclair On The Air A marijuana smoking walking encyclopaedia of music and culture, the good stuff, the street marrow. 730 shows shared with a world wide web of thirsty ears And starving brains. 730 Shows of a unique intuitive design And precise execution, a depth unfathomed By many DJ’s these days (2011) Over Automated, predictable, pre-programed’ Classic slop. Enough already. Thank goodness for John and his world record breaking Output of consistent quality music, and thank goodness He keeps smoking that reefer and finding extraordinary Musical inspirations and sharing them. A John Sinclair radio ballad for all. 730 of em’ Radio Free Amsterdam represents a shadow side To American culture, (that strange bird) And by default Global perspectives often eclipsed in Europe. RFA is a ‘live’ portal to many great American’s Without the usual mainstream trappings and trimmings The ads and the fads of American culture; Trickled in drips and can’s to the rest of the world by the closely guarded Monoliths of media and sales. Fuck them. I ask the question: What other radio DJ’s have travelled so extensively And produced but ‘half’ the amount of quality shows John Sinclair has made, played and relayed to your head? Moving like a one man nation of music, an Indian nation from city to city, country to country, Eyes and mind blazing, a true burner, one of the one’s, you dig. Lap-toppling the System, carrying his humble bag of essentials. Living with the music and with the musicians, passing the flames Fast Forwarding the work of his associates and friends, Paying tribute to friends who pass over to the great gig in the sky Rewinding their lives and our lives through the music. Coltrane, Monk, Bird, Satch’, the greats, you got it. In the best way imaginable, Radio performance by example With a ‘Monkish’ team of associates, some Starving to keep the music alive, and the peeps’ fed with culture. Detroit and Amsterdam and London are Breathing together like a herd of mammals, But thinking different, synthesized by John Sinclair. Thousands of artists and tens of thousands of songs, And countless miles detailed, recalled and contextualized Interviews, explorations, New music that holds the spirit of the old. I see John’s unique compositional art and crafts of ‘On-the-fly’ Radio production, and I’ve heard some shows More than six times each, the flurry of editing, Removing unwanted silence, making it COHERE Fine–watchmaker–adjustments to the ‘head clock time’ Usually coming in around 59 minutes, 59 seconds. John’s shows have a beginning, middle and an ending, Voila! each show exhibits internal continuity Twinned with the music with the host’s experience with That of his guests, an info’ rich listening experience Unparalleled, in my humble opinion, in its relentless originality And experiential scope; due in most part to John’s worldly experiences And of course to his helpful friends. Special thanks to Larry Hayden! Like with all the arts; the closer attention you pay The more you are rewarded with the micro-subtleties Subtle jokes, gems and timeless treasures revealing Deeper insights into the world-views of the artist, creator. To listen or read for yourself and then make-up Your own MIND is the best advice I can give, However here I wish to wax lyrical on the interlinking “Interstellar” pathways using radio, poetry, and travel, If you please. Like an album telling its tale, each show gives An opportunity to take the listener on a journey; Historical, anthropological, epistemological, but without Them fancy words.

We’re at the 420 Café in the center of Amsterdam celebrating my daughter Celia’s birthday on Monday by smoking joints from Amsterdam and playing records from New Orleans by the Lil’ Rascals Brass Band, Dr. John, Alvin Batiste, Craig Klein, and three “live” numbers by The Meters from the Kingfish Lounge in Baton Rouge in 1976, plus cuts from a bunch of great discs my pal Don Scherdin sent me in a CARE package from New York City this week, including the North Mississippi All Stars “live,” Big Jack Johnson from the soundtrack to Deep Blues, The Fugs, John Sinclair & His International Blues Scholars recorded at the Studio Zen in Amsterdam, and a closing side from the D with my man Chris Codish & the Brothers Groove.
