Interview with Beck Burchett

Sully's solution to all of the issues discussed with Beck that face this country and others is for people to stop financially supporting corporations that control Washington- "Our greatest weapon is to do with less and not give our hard earn money to people with private agendas that are destructive to the earth, our human rights, and our minds and bodies". If lobby firms such as Venn Strategies can push laws through congress for the right amount of money and support, what chance does the average person have against giant industry such as the Sugar Lobby, Dairy Council, and Big Pharma? Beck's familial roots go back to miners in rural Kentucky. He connects the dots between folk musicians such as Woody Guthrie in the 1940's and today's Hip Hop artists like Noname, Jamila Woods, and Nas as being the voice that truly reflects what is happening on the streets of Black America. Reflection needs a call to action or it is more of the same old, same old consumerism that currently defines our world. Beck sounds like a socialist but what he really is, is a humanitarian. Someone who believes that practices such as redlining and the denial of a universal healthcare system is not in the best interest of society as a whole. That the greater good should be the goal. Which is fascinating that someone of the "ME ME ME" generation has so much to say about the "WE WE WE".
