For Neda
The young girl was standing in the apparent safety of her male friend's shadow as they watched a Teheran demonstration unfolding. A Basij sniper shoots her through the heart. Always a fatal shot and Neda's life immediately bleeds out on the street. Her protector friend wails in sorrow. A brutality that springs from the hubris of holding a gun combined with a misogynist ideology.
Tonight we burn a candle in our window for Neda and dedicate this show as an audio candle. Let us always remember that individual humanity must assert its primacy before the dictates of primitive, brutal organizations and ideologies. Here and abroad.
Tonight, music of the New Orleans when you could walk North Claiborne Street under a canopy of oak tree leaves and drop into any number of record producers offices that lined this once-grand promenade. Record producers from around the nation who heard that unique New Orleans sound of individualism and joy. It's out there my Persian friends. New Orleanians and Persians know - our great civilizations are just on the other side of ignorance and brutality.
Hope has returned.

True of False
1958
Paul Simon initially recorded under pseudonyms such as True Taylor on this rockabilly influenced R&B song. Simon has turned out great music in many musical styles that this sentence begs for a honorific but my lasting image will be of Simon in Woody Allen's Annie Hall. Allen has Simon as a holier-than-thou Hollywood executive but places him comedically next to two towering models who maternally dote on him.
