“Imagine Jon Stewart if he gave a damn.”

I’m totally thrilled to announce a glowing review of my book by brilliant activist/ author David Swanson. To read the whole review CLICK HERE.  (To order the book, GO HERE or find it on other online book sellers.)

Here’s a quote from the review:

Imagine Jon Stewart if he gave a damn.  Instead of glorifying inaction, Camp actually points his readers toward actions they should take.  Imagine Jon Stewart without the partisan slant.  Rather than noting the RNC’s cheers for immediate withdrawal from Afghanistan, Stewart gives Obama a pass to keep that war going forever because Bush started it.   …In Camp’s best rants he takes original insights and combines them with fog facts or shadow stories (indisputably documented things we all know, except that “we” is only 2 percent of the country; such as the Kill List that made the front of the New York Times but which nobody attending an Obama rally has ever heard of) and he carries his outrage and the unknown causes of his outrage to a new audience.  

Announcing the winner of the Top 5 Protest Song contest

Last week I proposed a challenge – list your Top 5 Greatest Protest Songs. I along with Chris Bell, editor over at www.EarBuddy.net, selected the winner. I said extra points would be given for creativity. THE WINNER IS…. J. Christian Guerrero, who submitted the following list:

1. ‘Waiting Room’ – Fugazi
2. ‘CIA Man’ – The Fugs
3. ‘Marching Song of the Covert Battalions’ – Billy Bragg
4. ‘Fight The Power’ – Public Enemy
5. ‘We Shall Overcome’ – Pete Seeger

Here’s Chris’s analysis:  This might be my winner. I’m utterly surprised how few people were talking about punk songs. Fugazi and The Fugs are no-brainers and this was the only nomination that included either. Public Enemy might be a safe choice, but I support the inclusion of Chuck D in any conversation.

Here’s my analysis:  Totally agree about the lack of punk. Love that this list is all over the genre map. Great to see Billy Bragg on there. And if there hadn’t been any hip hop included, I probably couldn’t have given J. Christian the win. But he remedies that with “Fight The Power.”

J. Christian has won a free download of my new live comedy album “Pepper Spray the Tears Away.”

What if all the baggage and bullshit of our society were absorbed into
the conscience of one man? A man who refused to accept this “Normality”
we wade through…what kind of time-bomb would emerge? Well, as
Evolution would have it in its process of Self-Correction, Lee Camp is
that embodied “Time-Bomb of Reason” – ready to destroy anything that
seeks to pollute our culture and restrict our possibility as a species.  –Peter Joseph
