Thích Quảng Đức
The most provocative image in history?
Vietnamese buddhist monk Thích Quảng Đức protesting against the persecution of Buddhists. A man who believed in freedom so much that he died for it. I have so much respect for this man. If only I could be half the man he was. If only anyone could, or would, or try.
You may recognise this image from the cover of Rage Against the Machine's first album.
These were Thich's last words:
"Before closing my eyes and moving towards the vision of the Buddha, I respectfully plead to President Ngo Dinh Diem to take a mind of compassion towards the people of the nation and implement religious equality to maintain the strength of the homeland eternally. I call the venerables, reverends, members of the Sangha and the lay Buddhists to organise in solidarity to make sacrifices to protect Buddhism"

Lost in the Woods
What a beautiful record. I wish I could spend three months in a cabin in the woods.

West Texas Roads
Jim was most excellent. Met him just before he went on stage. Really nice, quiet yet intense guy. Very little on stage banter other than the odd thankyou or please be quiet. His voice sounded awesome live.
Setlist was pretty much perfect. From memory he played:
Sparta - Collapse, Air, Without a Sound, Breaking the Broken
Sleepercar - A Broken Promise, Fences Down, Wednesday Nights,
Quiet - On My Way Back Home Again, Mystery Talks, Take It Back, Coastlines
Only support I caught was One Small Step For Landmines. He was decent enough. Great name.
Now I just need to score and scam some Bon Iver tickets somehow.
