![]() ![]() ![]() I devoured Reed’s mock western over that weekend, laughing for three straight days. He fed me books and records I’d never heard of that end up altering my life, from Pharoah Sanders (rest in peace) to Ishmael Reed. He’d been an excellent student at Crispus Attucks High School (the great Oscar Robertson’s alma mater), but deferred college to care for his large, economically destitute family. Reed is a writer I’ve admired for 40 years or so, ever since a friend I was working with on a street painting crew in Indianapolis, during summer break from college, slipped me a copy of Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down and asked me: What the hell you do make of this?īobby was a ravenous reader. I’m thrilled at this recognition of our work at CounterPunch by the Before Columbus Foundation and what a bonus to be introduced for the Anti-Censorship Award by Ishmael Reed. My brain is still befogged and my voice is croaking out from swampy lungs. I HOPE you can bear with me, I’ve been fighting a stubborn case of Covid for the last 10 days or so.
