from the ignorant savants · host Byron Haskins
The poetic influence : "If you want to talk about what looks to me like despair and pessimism, it isn’t that a couple random people on both sides, as you know, have picked up guns. It is that the people in actual power who are sane and are clear thinking are doing almost nothing differently. They’re failing and rethinking nothing, at least not on any profound level. And I actually find that very worrying. I would like to see right now, in the rooms I am aware of, much more profound forms of restrategizing going on.”- Ezra Klein The musical influences: Gil Scot-Heron, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan and James Brown.
