Stetsasonic

When I was 15 I was involved with the War Resister's League on Lafayette Street. I was a Junior at Irving, and through a teacher there, had been introduced to the Non-Violent activism of this courageous group. The building is still there, I think...it was an old building that housed a medley of personalities who shared one thing in common: A commitment to end war. I had recently arrived from Trinidad and was thankful to fall upon this place. There was Carl, the gray-haired Communist who, like so many others, chose jail over War. There was Ralph, a just as gray gentleman, who reminded me of Karl Marx. I loved how the building smelled: of old cigarettes, decaying books and coffee.
I was invited to work on Spew II--the follow up zine to, you guessed it, Spew. I got to interview Daddy-O from Stetsasonic. It was my first interview.
Enjoy the video!
Peace,
