"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" a Song by Gil Scott Heron - However, It Is Already being YouTubed, TikToked, FaceBorged... ETC...

https://youtu.be/vwSRqaZGsPw?si=SAwRlpZFzcNgODL4

Lyrics: You will not be able to stay home, brother You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and Skip out for beer during commercials Because the revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox In four parts without commercial interruptions The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon Blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John Mitchell General Abrams and Spiro Agnew To eat hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be brought to you by the Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal The revolution will not get rid of the nubs The revolution will not make you look five pounds thinner Because the revolution will not be televised, brother There will be no pictures of you and Willie May Pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run Or trying to slide that color TV into a stolen ambulance NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32 Or report from 29 districts The revolution will not be televised There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down Brothers on the instant replay There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down Brothers on the instant replay There will be no pictures of Whitney Young Being run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process There will be no slow motion or still lives of Roy Wilkens Strolling through Watts in a red, black and green Liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving For just the proper occasion Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction Will no longer be so damned relevant And women will not care if Dick finally got down with Jane On "Search for Tomorrow" because black people Will be in the street looking for a brighter day The revolution will not be televised There will be no highlights on the eleven o'clock news And no pictures of hairy armed women liberationists And Jackie Onassis blowing her nose The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb Or Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell Tom Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink or the Rare Earth The revolution will not be televised The revolution will not be right back After a message about a white tornado, white lightning or white people You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom The tiger in your tank or the giant in your toilet bowl The revolution will not go better with Coke The revolution will not fight germs that may cause bad breath The revolution will put you in the driver's seat The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised Will not be televised, will not be televised The revolution will be no re-run, brothers The revolution will be live

Everything I remember about Visiting Berkeley... 

Ecology became popular when I was growing up. I participated in the "Youth Walk for Survival" at UC Berkeley. It was a fundraising benefit for Ecology groups. We asked people to sponsor us for a few cents per mile walked. We started at the Football field on campus, walked around Lake Merritt in Oakland and then back to the football field. Then there was a concert and Malvina Reynolds sang "Boxes, little Boxes".  I also worked for the Sierra Club in the Action Clean Up project at the Little Kern River... We camped out for two months and picked up garbage, burnt it in a campfire and packed out the remaining waste to a big dumpster at the trail head. I got a fine Peace of Mind living in the woods with some other kids for a couple of months. One night I was walking in the moonlight near the trail head and a bear that was sleeping on the hood of a car jumped up and ran away... I'm sure glad that he ran away...

I remember Visiting Joe Franck at the US Navy Fraternity House on Frat Row Near UC Berkeley. Joe accepted a Two year scholarship to UC paid for by the Navy under the agreement that if he took all FOUR years he had to serve as a sailor.  However, If he only took TWO years he didn't have to do Nothing except for go on one boat ride in the summer. So Joe spent the last Two Years at UC Santa Cruz. His Frat House had a Volleyball Court on the roof and Many Chairs, Chaise Lounges and a Beverage Cart. We watched the Sun Set over the Golden Gate Bridge... EPIC... We also played soccer in the mud at a school field and I got some mud splashed into my eye and had to stop playing. No permanent Damage. 

Years Later I was walking across campus and I saw Peggy (Savannah) Franck in a Circle of People Singing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." 

My Father and I went to a Volleyball Game That my Niece Nicole was Competing in. It was Indoors, Loud Cheering and There were Beautiful Tall College Women Playing... Arguably, they were "The Crown of Creation."

Mom, Dad and I went to Band Day at the Cal Football Game. A Dozen Marching Bands from Cal & Other Colleges took the Field to Compete. We did not see that but they did all play together at Halftime. Not much marching because the Entire Field was Packed with Musicians, until they Marched Off the Field and Down The Street...  

My Wife, Victoria and I went to her doctor to have tests done on her hand when she was applying for Worker's Compensation. She had developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome due to a lifetime of Numerical Data Entry on a Computer at work. There were no Work Comp Certified Doctors in Eureka so... We drove to Berkeley and... Her Doctor Had Severe Medical Crisis of His Own and Was Rushed to the Hospital. And he never worked again. So, we took the rest of the Day off and wandered around Telegraph Avenue. Visiting Amoeba Music and Vic got her Palm Read by a Long Haired Young Man at a Table in front of a Mystical Gift Shop. I did not get my palm read nor did I find out What She Heard. That's Confidential... Private... We visited The Print Mint. A Historic Poster Shop where many of the Artists from the Sixties Had their work printed. And we had a Cup of Coffee in a Shop with a window that overlooked the Street and the Endless Parade of Dikes and Fairies, Freaks and Hairies, Tell Me Where Is Sanity? Not on Telegraph Avenue... That's for Sure...   

Once, in High School, We went to Buy Marijuana from a Dealer who lived One Half Block from Telegraph Avenue. We tried some and It was the most powerful I had ever smoked... But I purchased the Hashish instead... My friend was playing "The Wheel" on a Jews Harp... A Song by the Grateful Dead... 

I went to a Concert by Procol Harem with Robin Trower at Berkeley Community Center with Classmate Doug Stoner. Good Music. Especially "Conquistador."

My Father and I went to an Art Museum in Berkeley and I Enjoyed an Installation that was a very long wire stretched tightly, the"viewer" was asked to WHACK the wire with a stick and Enjoy the Sound as it Traveled from One End to the Other and Reflected Back.  It made a Singing Sound and The Note Varied because of the Wiggling of the Wire and The Doppler Effect. 

I rode the AMTRAK Train thru Berkeley... Did not Get off... and Rode BART Too... Had no Money so I Jumped the Turnstile to avoid Paying... 

After I retired, I was driving from the Central Valley to Eureka and went over The Altamont Pass, admired the forest of windmills and then Stopped at the Claremont Hotel in Oakland. No Parking unless you were a Guest, so I parked at a Shopping Center Nearby, drank a Cup of Starbucks Coffee and Drove UP Telegraph Avenue. The People looked Scary so I Did not Stop and walk around... I Dead Ended at the Gate Leading to Sprowl Plaza and Turned Left... Drove over that Bridge in the North Bay, Got on Highway #101 and Came Home...

Trump Falls Asleep Onstage at September 11 Ceremony.
https://newrepublic.com/post/215324/trump-falls-asleep-september-11-ceremony

This is one of many times the 80-year-old president has appeared to be completely asleep on camera in front of dozens of people. But for him to do it today—in front of the families of victims on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the most devastating terror attack in American history—is particularly inappropriate.

It's official - we have just lost the OTHER Strait, and Saudi Arabia's pipeline has been destroyed! Trump said he didn't need Hormuz, he had OTHER routes for the oil, and now he does NOT.

Yemen's government is reportedly being choked off by the Iran-funded Houthi rebels. They have also pushed the Saudi forces out of Yemen, and taken over the major cities and islands of the Bab-El-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea, and oh yes, taking over OUR military equipment, as well, including tanks and vehicles. The Iraqi rebels are also reportedly getting active on the northeastern side of Saudi Arabia.

There is also satellite video of the major Saudi east-west crude oil pipeline being hit, and its major control installation destroyed.

Saudi Arabia's prince made two frantic phone calls to Trump yesterday, but Trump reportedly refused to send in our military.

He had his Trumpalooza on his mind, and his 9/11 speech at the Pentagon, to spite NYC, and later today he is leaving for his golf resort in Ireland, because a PGA tournament is happening there this weekend.

Iran has been playing chess while Trump has been playing Hungry Hungry Hippos. And now he is just flipping over the table and walking away.

Hegseth made a speech today at the Pentagon that the Iran war is won and the Strait of Hormuz is open, while Central Command head Brad Cooper reportedly quietly went to the Middle East to try to do damage control. Oh, fix the situation? No, fix the messaging.

But the facts are being reported by mainstream news media all over the world now. It is BAD. We are going to be involved for a long long time. And don't expect our economic situation - or gas prices - to be getting any better either.

NO MORE MONEY FOR TRUMP'S CRAZY WAR. Trump's Economy is a Disaster. Higher Prices. Smaller Paychecks. Massive Unemployment. Endless Business Bankruptcies...

As of March 2026, reports suggest a growing number of U.S. troops and their families are seeking ways to avoid deployment to Iran amid rising tensions. Activists claim a surge in hotline calls from soldiers seeking guidance on refusing deployment, though there is no official confirmation of a "massive" or organized refusal of service.

We think that the war in Venezuela was a bad idea. Blowing up boats in the Caribbean = bad idea. Bombing Ecuador = bad idea. Tearing down the East Wing of the White House = bad idea. Closing the Kennedy Center = bad idea... The embargo and starvation of Cuba = bad idea... 

And ICE murdering two Americans in Minnesota. The killers have not been arrested... I think they got vacation with pay, a new identity and a new place to live but no one knows where...

Obama's speech at the Jesse Jackson funeral. inspirational. Uplifting.

We heard Jesse Jackson speak at the Lincoln Memorial...My brother-in-law, Ray Chapin, drove up from Missouri because he wanted to hear that anniversary of the Dr Martin Luther King I Have a Dream speech... Since my family had an open invitation to come stay rent-free at my condo and I'd drive them anywhere to go do the tourist things... I was glad to go... We were about halfway down the reflecting pool towards the Washington Monument... And they had loud speakers about every 100 yards... And that meant that the echo echo echo prevented us from understanding of single word that Jesse Jackson said... But he had that black preacher timing... And so we had fun...
