A breath of fresh air!
Having had a wonderful Christmas bonus to my iTunes account over the holidays, I decided to go on a virtual browse around my local iTunes store and stumbled across my old friend Mark Thomas and a small selection of his aural offerings. Okay, Mark Thomas isn’t actually a friend of mine in the traditional sense, but I am a huge admirer of his political awareness and how he uses it to generally make the lives of the government and big business a headache - so for that reason I consider him a friend.
I cannot recommend this double album enough. Not since the days of Bill Hicks has a comedian make me roll off my seat in laughter just by listening to the audio rather than watching them on TV. This album was recorded in Edinburgh the night before the bombs began falling on Bagdad in 2003.
It is so refreshing to hear a real voice of definiance to all of the brainwashing propergander that our media is bombarding us with. I will not go into exactly what Mark Thomas talks about that night, you’ll have to purchase the album through a channel of your choice, but you do find out exactly why Mark Thomas cannot travel to the US anymore.
But it is inspirational. A lot of what Mark talks about is our rights as citizens and how the government and ‘big business’ try to intimidate us out of raising our voices and fighting for our rights.
We are providing this direct link to Mark Thomas’ album on iTunes for Mark’s benefit. We acknowledge that there are many excellent music retailers world wide and iTunes is not an exclusive distributer of this product.
