As a staunch advocate of pretty partisan politics, regularly attending rallies, job actions, union events, and protests, I've thrown my lot in with people like Jared Paul. As a rapper who owes his breeches to the hobbled darkened stages of poetry open mics, punchlines hanging in the air to only a cacophony of snaps and nods, I immediately felt Paul's prowess. As a Strange Famous acolyte and unabashed Uncle Sage Francis wonk, I respect the cosign of one of my all time favorite rap people. The last kick in the dick came when none but the god Taurus Scott of Alphapup/Smog/Hellfyre Club fame shot this feat of beats and words and passion and crescendo into my buzzing and blooming ear/face piece. It makes me happy when descendents of Public Enemy and Bad Religion are drawing yearning faces to the flame and feeding them the high art of politic. Jared Paul, y'all.
