--The "Planet Rox-n-Rolls" segment, (our community action for social justice component) is an interview with Abraham Kenmore, who started Paper And Pencils For All
(PAPFA), when he was EIGHT (see how it all starts?!!!!). Abe is now 11 years old and his organization is celebrating it's more-than-two-years in existence. PAPFA is a project that delivers paper and pencils --and other school supplies-- to disadvantaged youths and underfunded schools nationally and internationally.

-- The "Vigil Watch"-- I exhausted all local vigil representatives in the first three shows, so I went to CA for Edition 4: I got to practive using my phone interface device (Yay! I did it without a hitch on Saturday!) and had a digitally recorded interview with Elke Heitmeyer, co-organizer of "Neighbors for Peace and Justice", based in Los Angeles, CA. Like Women in Black, Buffalo, they gather weekly, but as you'll hear, they have quite a different approach to their vigils... It's roudy and decidedly in your face, right on the suburban streets "In the Valley" sprawl outside LA. There's even a band that often accompanies them, named, humorously enough, "playing in traffic" and much to my delight I found them at myspace! Here's a link for you to hear their wonderfully playful tunes: http://www.myspace.com/playingintrafficla I can here The Cramps, Dylan, the B52's, and Mahler (just joking!) in their influences... She also sent me this terrific link to a guerilla activist site and performance called, "Billionaires for Bush" They do radio performances, and I missed it on Labor Day, but this link has all sorts of interactive features, so check it out: http://billionairesforbush.com/index.php -- It's KPFK: Pacifica, Baby!!!

--Our guest "Rioter-in-a-Mic" is Terrance A. Robinson, with a prose poem called, "Mindless", and holds a mirror to the "Coulter-ites", following her book, __Godless__
