John Sinclair, sara presente per buona parte del Festival: catturera l’atmosfera della manifestazione e della citta vecchia, i penseri degli autori invitati e del pubblico, le notti sospese tra versi e maccaja, li agitera bene como solo lui sa fare e li servira nella Rete con la sua celeberrima web radio! John Sinclair, agitatore culturale americano e poeta beatnik, leader del movimento contro la guerra in Vietnam negli anni ’60, fondatore del White Panther Party, e stato anche il manager del gruppo rock radicale MC5. Imprigionato per le sue idée legate alla rivoluzione culturale hippie, fu liberato grazie ad un grande movimento d’opinione che culmino nel concerto organizzato in suo favore da John Lennon, che gli dedico anche una canzone dal titolo, appunto, “John Sinclair.” Grande studioso di cultura afro-americana, negli anni ’90 a New Orleans Sinclair fu il piu popolare deejay radiofonico della citta. Nel 2004 ha scelto l’esilio ad Amsterdam dove continua a esibirsi sul palcoscenico con la sua band—The Blues Scholars—a scrivere poesie e condurre programmi radiofonici. I suoi libri italiani sono usciti per I tipi di Stampa Alternatiiva.

The DJ set was splendid, but none of the exhibitors were coming up to talk with us, so I decided to go back to the city and cut the show at the 420 Café and edit in into the set of music from Utrecht. Nick Smith & Guiseppe are in from London and Jeff Kabik stopped by to spray me with some new cannabis delivery system. The music is all from Detroit with Johnnie Bassett, Hank Ballard & the Midnighters, the young Bob Seger, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Alberta Adams, Barbara Lewis, Joe Weaver, Marvin Gaye, Bob Seeley & Bob Baldori.

RADIO FREE GENOA POETRY In esclusiva per il Festival Internazionale di Poesia di Genova, il leggendario John Sinclair animera una versione speciale della sua Radio Free Amsterdam: Radio Free Genoa Poetry. John Sinclair, sara presente per buona parte del Festival: catturera l’atmosfera della manifestazione e della citta vecchia, i penseri degli autori invitati e del pubblico, le notti sospese tra versi e maccaja, li agitera bene como solo lui sa fare e li servira nella Rete con la sua celeberrima web radio! John Sinclair, agitatore culturale americano e poeta beatnik, leader del movimento contro la guerra in Vietnam negli anni ’60, fondatore del White Panther Party, e stato anche il manager del gruppo rock radicale MC5. Imprigionato per le sue idée legate alla rivoluzione culturale hippie, fu liberato grazie ad un grande movimento d’opinione che culmino nel concerto organizzato in suo favore da John Lennon, che gli dedico anche una canzone dal titolo, appunto, “John Sinclair.” Grande studioso di cultura afro-americana, negli anni ’90 a New Orleans Sinclair fu il piu popolare deejay radiofonico della citta. Nel 2004 ha scelto l’esilio ad Amsterdam dove continua a esibirsi sul palcoscenico con la sua band—The Blues Scholars—a scrivere poesie e condurre programmi radiofonici. I suoi libri italiani sono usciti per I tipi di Stampa Alternatiiva.
