DESCRIPTION:		     Come to a book signing with author, musician and activist John 
 Malkin.  SOUNDS OF FREEDOM is a compilation of interviews with sixteen 
 musicians speaking about social change and spiritual growth and is 
 published by non-profit Parallax Press.  The featured artists include Ani 
 DiFranco, Laurie Anderson, the Indigo Girls, Philip Glass, Rickie Lee 
 Jones, Michael Franti, Utah Phillips, John Trudell, Tom Morello, Holly 
 Near, Boots Riley, Michelle Shocked, Darryl Cherney, Steve Reich and 
 Goapele.  BOOTS RILEY will be a special guest at the book talk.  Boots and 
 The Coup are releasing a new album in April titled Pick a Bigger Weapon. 
 Boots' father worked with the NAACP, CORE, and the Black Panthers; Boots 
 became a social change activist at a young age as a member of the Mau Mau 
 Rhythm Collective and Young Comrades, and channeled his social activism 
 into music in the early 1990s.   In SOUNDS OF FREEDOM, Boots says, "When 
 people say that they are spiritual, I think that they mean that they are in 
 touch with the universe. And that is what I want to be. That is why I want 
 to be involved with things and involved with the world. By being involved 
 in the world I am more alive."   SOUNDS OF FREEDOM includes an introduction 
 by Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and comes with an audio 
 CD that has one song from each of the featured artists.  All of the 
 interviews were originally broadcast on John’s weekly radio program on 
 Free Radio Santa Cruz, a commercial-free, collectively-run station that has 
 been operating without a license from the U.S. government for eleven years. 
  “The Great Leap Forward” can be heard every Wednesday evening from 7 
 to 9 pm on Free Radio Santa Cruz.  FRSC broadcasts 24 hours a day at 101.1 
 FM and globally at http://www.freakradio.org.    “This book Rocks!”     
      - Common Ground magazine  “In this wise and thoughtful book, John 
 Malkin asks the right questions and illuminates the often hidden meanings 
 and intentions that motivate the popular and radical icons represented in 
 Sounds of Freedom.  If you love music and want to change the world, this 
 book is for you.”   - Noah Levine, author of Dharma Punx  \n
